Lawn expert Chris Mcilroy warns you may ruin your lawn and harm wildlife
After a wet month, lawns across the UK are growing wild. Now June is here, many will be keen to get their mowers out but this could be a huge mistake, according to The Grass People’s lawn expert Chris Mcilroy.
“If your grass has been long for a few weeks, debris might have embedded into the lawn. So it’s important to check and rake through before you start mowing so you don’t cause any unnecessary damage. Do this gently as wildlife might have started gathering in the grass too.” “Cutting grass that is still damp can be detrimental to the lawn’s health and make it more susceptible to diseases and pests. Wet grass can clump together, leading to an uneven cut, meaning lawns can look much worse off. Clumped grass can also cause damage to mowing machinery.
