Summer: As temperatures rise and we move into summer the growth of your lawn may actually start to slow down, mow as and when necessary never taking more than one third of the length of the grass off in any one cut. As always a sharp lawnmower blade is essential. If temperatures become very hot your lawn will become stressed and it may be necessary to cut back on the frequency of mowing.

Autumn: As the days grow shorter and the temperatures begin to fall the rate at which the grass grows will slow, meaning that the lawn will need mowing less frequently. It is also a good idea to raise the height of cut of the lawnmower as winter approaches. As always maintain your mower in good condition and keep the blades sharp.

Winter: Only mow the lawn if necessary; this will depend upon weather conditions and temperatures at the time. Do not use your lawnmower if heavy frosts are expected or if the ground is very wet.
