Here are a few techniques that can make a break in your mowing game: 1. Set your mower high to make sure the roots grow deeper and shade the soil to keep it cooler. 2. Remember to cut only the top third of the blades. 3. Mow your lawn in the early evening when it is dry(cutting wet grass results in uneven trimming and clogging of the mower). 4. Vary your mowing pattern to prevent ruts in the yard. 5. Cut new grass seedlings when they reach their mowing height.
