    Know How to Mow

    Less grass and proper landscaping is more benefitial for trees and plants, the environment and your budget. But if you do have a lawn, follow these simple care tips.

    • Just a little higher.
      For most South Florida turf grasses, at least 2-3 inches is a good height. Keeping your grass this high promotes healthier roots for a greener, pest resistant and drought resistant lawn.
    • Don’t be dull.
      Sharp mower blades cut easier and reduce tearing that can weaken the grass.
    • Use a mulching mower.
      Some mowers have special blades that chop grass into fine clippings. This will eliminate bags and bags of waste grass and automatically fertilize your soil the natural way!
