Mowing advice
Should I mow in spring?
Yes, once growth has resumed and the ground is firm enough. Start high and mow only when conditions are dry.
Why conditions matter
Spring growth can accelerate quickly, but saturated soil is easy to compact.
The first cuts should be light so the lawn can recover from winter.
Before you mow
- Clear debris.
- Wait for active growth.
- Use a high cutting setting.
Safety guidance
Inspect for hidden stones, branches, and soft ground before the first cut.
Regional considerations
Spring starts at different times; grass growth and soil conditions are more useful than the calendar.
