What is the proper way to mow my sod?
A. Proper mowing is very important to a healthy lawn. Scalping is guaranteed to kill your lawn. 1. Sod must be completely rooted before mowing, typically ready in about 3 weeks. 2. Set your lawn mower at its highest setting, usually 3″. 3. Keep mower blades sharp. Dull blades tear grass, leaving it looking unhealthy and brown. 4. Mow often enough to ensure that you never remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade. 5. Never mow wet grass or leave heavy clippings.
