Question: Why can't I wait longer between mowings, reducing time spent on lawn care?
This question really boils down to a more basic question: Why do we bother mowing lawns? This lawn mowing FAQ provides the reason....
Answer: Aesthetics aside, there's a good lawn-care reason not to wait longer in between mowings, each time simply mowing the lawn when the grass is higher and reducing the overall number of mowings. Sure, such a policy would reduce time spent on lawn care. But you get out of lawn care what you put into it.
It may come as a surprise that mowing the lawn is about more than just keeping your lawn's height under control. If done properly (which I discuss in another lawn care FAQ), mowing stimulates the grass of your lawn to lushness and better health, just as pinching a garden plant can improve its appearance. Proper mowing technique is an important aspect of overall lawn care.
