Regardless of the type of grass you have around your Orlando home, it will look its best and healthiest at a certain height, maintained by proper lawn mowing. Cutting it too short can be just as harmful to your lawn as letting it grow wild. What is the basic rule of lawn mowing in Orlando (and other parts of Central Florida)?? Never cut more than one-third of the leaf blade, even if you have to mow it more than once a week! And always – always – use a mower with a sharp blade.
