Why Your Lawn Looks Bad! (Do This Before You Mow)

It's one of the key jobs in the garden across the summer but a lot of people don’t mow their lawn properly. In this video I show you how I follow a few straightforward steps to get it right. I explain why grass needs the right care to thrive and how moss takes over when conditions aren’t ideal, before showing you how to properly scarify using an electric scarifier. I’ll also walk you through checking your mower, keeping blades sharp, and setting the correct cutting height throughout the year, before sharing my mowing techniques, including how to achieve those classic, professional-looking stripes that can transform any garden.
