Contact MLC Lawn Care & Landscaping and find out why we are the best rated to tackle on overgrown lawns in Oshawa, Whitby, Bowmanville, Ontario. 

How often Should I Mow my yard?

How often you should mow your grass depends on several factors, including grass type, growing conditions, soil condition, shaded areas and the time of year. In general:

  • During the growing season (spring and early summer), mow your lawn at least once a week to maintain a healthy and neat appearance.

  • In the late summer or fall, as grass growth slows down, you may need to mow less frequently—every 10-14 days depending on how fast the grass is growing.

  • In cooler months (fall and early spring), you may only need to mow once every 2-3 weeks or not at all if growth has slowed considerably.

The key is to avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade at a time, as removing too much can stress the grass and hinder its growth. Aim for a mowing height of 2-3 inches for most grass types, adjusting based on weather conditions and grass health.

Do you bag Lawn clippings?

If you're cutting your grass regularly, mulching is one of the best ways to promote healthier, greener grass. When you mulch, the finely chopped grass clippings are returned to the lawn, where they break down and provide valuable nutrients to the soil. This boosts soil health, retains moisture, and helps prevent weeds from taking hold. Mulching also reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, making it an eco-friendly choice!

However, for most homeowners, mulching can be tricky. The average mower just doesn’t have the power or the right blade configuration to do it effectively. That’s where we come in. At MLC Lawn Care & Landscaping, we use high-powered, commercial-grade mowers with blades that rotate much faster than your average lawn mower. This allows us to cut and mulch the grass finely and efficiently, leaving your lawn with a clean, nutrient-rich layer of mulch that helps it thrive.

With our equipment and expertise, you get all the benefits of mulching without the hassle. It’s the best way to keep your lawn looking beautiful and healthy, season after season.

What Height should I Mow my Lawn?

The height at which you mow your grass plays a critical role in its health and overall appearance. Here’s how to get it right:

1. Ideal Grass Height:
For most lawns, aim for 2.5 to 3 inches of grass height. This range promotes thick, healthy growth and reduces the chances of weed development.

2. Grass Type Considerations:

  • Cool-Season Grasses (e.g., Kentucky Bluegrass, Fescue) do best between 2.5 and 3.5 inches, which supports stronger root systems and helps the grass stay green longer in cooler weather.

  • Warm-Season Grasses (e.g., Bermuda, Zoysia) can be mowed shorter, between 1 to 3 inches, especially in hot summer months.

3. Benefits of Longer Grass:

  • Better Root Development: Taller grass leads to deeper root systems, which are more drought-resistant.

  • Weed Suppression: Maintaining a healthy height helps your lawn outcompete weeds, making it tougher for them to take root.

  • Moisture Retention: Longer grass helps shade the soil, reducing evaporation and keeping the lawn hydrated for longer.

4. Avoid Cutting Too Short:
Don’t cut more than one-third of the grass blade at a time.
