	*MOWING & EDGING*


			Proper mowing practices are essential to keep any lawn healthy and attractive. Turfgrass undergoes physiological stress with each mowing, particularly if too much leaf tissue is removed. The effects of this “scalping” can produce long-term damage to the turf and leave it susceptible to additional stress, such as insect and disease. It is very important to leave as much leaf surface as possible for photosynthesis to provide food for regrowth. A typical range for St Augustine turf height is 3 1/2—4 inches.


			Mowing Management Practices Highly trained and uniformed service staff Mower blades sharpened on a daily basis Clippings distributed on the turf areas to provide nutrients back to the turf Turf mowed to the correct height to encourage deeper root system Mowing equipment washed between stops to reduce weed seed movement No more than one-third of the of the foliage removed at one time Special attention to avoid tree trunks and shrubs with equipment Turfgrass is never mowed when wet Turfgrass clippings are directed away from water bodies and lakes

Power Mowing Patterns

Prescription mowing patterns are developed specifically for each community to ensure efficient, safe power machine mowing. These patterns are developed to ensure healthy turfgrass while protecting the environment. Safety is always a primary concern, repetition mowing develops safe mowing habits that protect against accidental or mechanical events. The mowing patterns are always approved by the landscape committee or community association board.
