How to Make Your Lawn Pretty
- 1). Have you ever wondered how to get a pretty lawn with the lines like they have on golf courses or have a neighbor that looks great all the time? Well its really simple and all you need is to know how and they way right. When first cutting when you haven't cut in a long time and you figure you need the exercise anyway. If you have grass that 4 and 5 inches tall, we must first manage it to where we can run over it gently with a lawn mower. Any lawn mower will work but you can just follow these methods and your sure to have a pretty lawn like you probably had once before.
- 2). Once you have it managed to where you aren't using hedge clippers or even chainsaw for that fact of the matter, then we can get to the nitty gritty. On most walk behind lawn mowers today, there are little knobs called adjusters on the wheels that you can adjust the height of the deck with to also provide us with an accurate cut. This way you can adjust the level and the amount of grass you want to cut on each pass. When first cutting your grass place the knobs on all 4 wheels at around the 5 level up, this way we aren't chopping and scalping the grass that we have worked so hard to manage. Plus scalping can kill our grass and we don't want that. Though when you start cutting, this will start to leave you light lines that we've been trying to achieve also to get that pretty look.
- 3). After a couple of days when you have more free time and want to cut the grass again, try and adjust the adjusters down two notches and follow the same procedure when cutting again. Doing this will also provide you with an idea or what the grass looks live and plus you can mow a couple of lines and determine if you think the cut is to deep, to raise the knobs up a notch. This will also provide you with more noticeable lines that others wonder how you achieved this. Once you have applied these techniques and have a pretty lawn, you can sit back under a nice picnic table and have a nice glass of tea for the occasion and hard work that you worked so hard to achieve. Although most people have there own ways to cut a lawn, most can take advantage of these activities as exercise to making them healthy also, besides the inhaling of bad fumes and getting grass in your mouth..=0)
