Regular mowing on a set schedule is the backbone of a healthy lawn. We mow weekly or bi-weekly through the growing season, cutting at a height suited to the grass type rather than scalping it short, and finish every visit with clean edging along drives, walks and beds.
Most Richmond lawns are cool-season fescue, which grows hardest in spring and again in autumn and then struggles through the humid part of summer. Cutting too short in July is the single most common way homeowners here damage a fescue lawn — taller grass shades its own roots and holds moisture through the heat.
Weekly during spring and autumn when growth is fastest. Bi-weekly is usually enough through the hottest part of summer, when cool-season grass slows down.
Usually not. Returning clippings to the lawn recycles nitrogen back into the soil. We bag when growth has got ahead of the schedule and clumping would smother the turf.
