The lawn is not only a solid background for landscape design, but also the business card of the owner. A clean, well-groomed lawn, like a face, is more pleasing to the eye. But lawn care requires a lot of time, effort, and money. Therefore, it is important to remember the basic rules in order to save these resources, and lawn care would not be a burden, but a pleasure.
First of all, lawn care itself involves many actions — cleaning, mowing, fertilizing and other types of work. In this regard, the choice of lawn care tools plays an important role, but also the correct use of tools. It is especially important to take care of the lawn in the first year of its formation in order to lay the foundation and maintain the lawn in subsequent years.
When choosing a lawn mower, it is necessary to take into account the area of the mowed surface, the free mowing space, the type, height and maturity of the grass, as well as the ratio of quality and cost characteristics of the lawn mowers themselves.
Manual lawn mowers, most often drum-type, are a fairly inexpensive but effective tool for caring for small lawns.
Drum lawn mowers, both manual and electric, are handy for creating paddock patterns with stripe alternation. This effect occurs under the influence of the roller, when the grass falls in different directions after passing the lawn mower.
Electric drum and rotary lawnmowers allow you to process large areas of lawns and do not require large amounts of maintenance time.
Motor mowers are more expensive and require special, expensive maintenance, but they are distinguished by high technical characteristics, speed and mowing power. You can buy an engine for a walk-behind tractor separately, and only then assemble the right option for your tasks.
Mounted rotary mowers allow you to process surfaces with the need to bypass large objects (trees, shrubs, fences).
Also, when choosing a lawn mower, it is important to determine the width of the swath, which allows you to evaluate their maneuverability (narrow band) or the speed of processing large areas (broad band).
However, only one choice of lawn mower is not limited to the issue of lawn care. When mowing grass, it is important to keep both aesthetics and safety in mind. Therefore, it is not recommended to mow wet grass in order to avoid accidents with an electric lawn mower and due to the fact that the lawn itself after such care may not look aesthetically pleasing. It is recommended to mow tall grass in several stages to avoid damage to the roots of the lawn. For large areas, it is advisable to use lawn mowers equipped with a box for collecting cut grass, in order to immediately ensure the cleanliness of the surface to be treated. With regular lawn care, this problem does not arise, because.to. the grass does not have time to grow and its short pruning does not spoil the general appearance, on the contrary, being a top dressing for the lawn.
It is important to take care of the choice of grass specially designed for lawns and lawns.
