Have you ever admired the perfectly level lawn of a nearby commercial property? Do you want to learn how to replicate that perfect level when you next mow the lawn on your commercial property? Check out the helpful tips below and you will soon have a perfectly mowed lawn to boast about.
Remove Surface Imperfections
It is very difficult to make a lawn perfectly level if the ground on which it grows has high and low points. Your first task to a perfectly level lawn is to remove those depressions. Use a sod cutter to remove the lawn from the areas where you have identified depressions. Pour sand or fill dirt so that the depression is filled to the same level as the rest of the lawn. Tamp down the sand before you replant the grass that you removed.
Fertilise the Lawn
Invest in buying the best fertilisers that will keep your lawn nourished. A soil test may reveal the types of fertilisers that you need to buy in order to avail the missing nutrients. A well fertilised lawn will also be lush if it gets ample moisture. Such a lush lawn is easy to mow to a perfect level because it will be thick and tall.
Keep Lawn Mower Blades Sharp
Blunt mower blades will not cut grass to a perfect level because the blades will keep tearing up the grass as they move over it. Sharpen the blades as frequently as recommended by the manufacturer of your commercial lawn mowing equipment.
Keep the Mower Deck Spotless
Use a scraper to remove any grass or debris that sticks onto the surface of the mower deck. This will enable the machine to make a clean cut each time you mow the lawn. You should place a plastic bag underneath the deck as you scrape it so that you do not have to devote extra time to removing the debris that you extract from that deck.
Watch the Mower Settings
Lawn mowers can be set to cut grass at different heights. Some people fail to get a perfect level cut because they unconsciously change the height settings as they empty full trash bags. Avoid making this mistake too. Maintain the same height settings for each mowing session.
You can hire a provider of commercial lawn mowing services to take care of your lawn in case you still get unsatisfactory results after using the suggestions above. That specialist will use his or her skills and experience to produce outstanding lawn mowing results (such as creating stripes on the perfectly level lawn).
