Spring has sprung, and with it comes a seemingly never-ending supply of lawn care chores! One of those chores that will continue to stick around for a while is the need to mow your lawn. While at first, this may seem like a very simple topic, the fact remains that there are plenty of details to keep in mind when it comes to mowing the lawn.
For example, how short will you cut the grass? Certain homeowners associations actually have bylaws that require your grass to be within a certain height range. Beyond rules and regulations, how short you cut your grass can also lead to growth problems. For example, if you cut the grass very short to avoid having to mow as frequently, you may be encouraging the grass to grow a very shallow root system, which can cause it to wither and die. If you let it grow too long, it may become a habitat for insects and other pests!
