The traditional method of uniformly mowing the entire lawn at a singular height is gradually becoming a thing of the past, with experts advising gardeners to do things differently.
Gardeners are being urged to adopt 'uneven' mowing patterns for their lawns this summer, and there's a significant reason behind it. The traditional method of uniformly cutting the entire lawn at one height is slowly becoming outdated.
Gardeners are advised to keep the grass short around essential areas like paths and play lawns, while leaving the grass longer near borders. Plantlife, an organisation dedicated to supporting nature, emphasises this point, stating: "We know that some parts of your garden will need to be kept short, such as paths and recreational lawns for playing."
"Achieving this diversity in lawn length can be done creatively, such as having short grass paths winding their way through wilder swathes of long grasses. This way, you can create a wildlife haven suited to the character of your garden.", reports Leeds Live.
