Mowing the grass in the rain can be miserable and without the correct equipment, you will not be doing the grass any favours either. Some commercial mowers such as the Mountfield S461 and the Hayter Motif 53 can handle the task; most residential lawn mowers aren't up to it. At best, you may end up with a badly cut lawn. At worst, you can end up with ruts and dead patches that are a pain to repair. There are numerous of reasons why rain gives grass the upper hand when you try to mow, Grass behaves like people when it's getting rained on: it hunches over. The result is that many blades of grass get pushed over, not cut, when you try to mow. At least until the sun comes up, when all of the uncut grass should once again stand at attention. Some of the wet grass may stick to the mower blades, making it cut less efficiently. Wet grass can stick to the mower's undercarriage, eventually getting thick enough to impede the mower blades and slow their rotation, further diminishing the mower's cutting ability. Most mowers have mulching blades that create suction. Cut

As the trees blossom and the flowers start to bloom you might start to think about the aesthetics of your garden. Preparing your garden over the spring months will be important for a fantastic looking garden in the summer. Here’s how you should approach spring lawn care. Begin with Raking Raking your lawn is one of the most important things you can do in the spring to get a healthy lawn. Make sure the ground is relatively dry and isn't soft and squishy. By raking, you pull out all the old dead grass and lift up some of the matted grass to keep fungus problems to a minimum. It does take a considerable amount of elbow grease, but it really is the best thing you can do for your lawn. A good raking in the spring effectively acts like a basic de-thatching that helps the thickness of the grass in the summer. Feeding and Fertilizing A good feed with a lawn fertiliser, not only makes the grass greener, but it makes it grow thicker and increases its strength, vigour and health. This will make the grass more robust and better equipped to compete with weeds, moss and

As we head towards March it may be a bit early to think about cutting the lawn especially as it may still be covered with frost. However it’s not too early to think about preparing your lawn to be cut. Over the winter while the grass doesn’t grow particularly long but there does tend to be growth of moss and grass thatch. This moss and grass thatch growth won’t be removed with a traditional lawn mower. While raking and lawn rakers will remove the growth of moss, the wires used in rakes are not great at dethatching a lawn. Using a lawn scarifier is more effective than a rake as it has steel cutting blades that cut the thatch and prune the lawn as the lawn is cut downwards rather than cross cut that is done in mowing. While March is the time for lawn scarifying, it shouldn’t be done if your lawn doesn’t need it. Brown grass or spongy grass doesn’t necessarily indicate thatch growth as they can be caused by other issues, the best idea is to take a sample of the lawn, and check for thatching between the grass and the soil anything from

When it comes to buying gardening equipment, many people think it should only be a summer pursuit but there are actually things to do in the garden all year round and you should be taking advantage of the time of year to keep your garden in check.

A Landscape Gardener or architect is responsible for the outdoor space making it in an attractive way. To create the designs, the architects need to use computer software called CAD (computer-aided Design). It provides both creative and practical support to transform your garden. In most cases, the landscape gardener begins with an initial client to look at the garden and discuss client needs and what they are looking for out of it. This is usually followed by a survey. On the 2nd meeting, this is to discuss generally about the budget and a more precise plan. The garden designer then starts to put into place the concept and ideas, with a working master plan with 3D perspectives. Once it is finished, the specifications are passed on to landscape contractors to price accurately. Whenever starting a landscaping project, a consideration you should look at is what kind of tools do you need? If you are new to the job, finding the right tools is very important, so talk to one of the representative at World of Mowers who will help you to choose the right ones. Choosing the right tools for your projects makes gardening much easier.

The appearance of your lawn is very important; it sets your home apart from every other on your street. If you are privileged enough to have a garden with a beautiful lawn, then it is well worth splashing out on a high quality lawn mower. A well kept mower makes the difference between a well kept lawn and an ill cut choppy one. Instead of having to buy a new lawn mower every couple of years, following these simple tips on how to care for your mower during the grass cutting season, may save you a bit of change for the holidays. In order for your mower to last longer, you need to know these simple basic steps. During the summer season, mowing your lawn puts wear and tear on the blades. Take the time to place clean gas and oil in your lawn mower and clear the carburettor area of dirt and debris on a regular basis. These may seem like obvious maintenance ideas, however, they are rarely if ever thought about by most. One of the most crucial parts of maintaining your mower is cleaning and sharpening the blades, which in an

Mowing the lawn is both a chore and a longstanding tradition in our country, and choosing the right lawn mower is key to making the task easier and more enjoyable. What follows are some tips to keep in mind when you set out to buy a new mower. 1. Learn about the different types of mowers on the market For example, a "rear bagger" will collect the clippings and help to ensure a pristine lawn, and a "side discharge" model will work well if you are cutting high grass and obstacles are not a major concern for you. 2. Keep your goal in mind Selecting the right mower will help you to create a good-looking healthy lawn, and you will want to keep the grass at a constant height all through the growing season. This means that you will also need to cut it frequently to control coarse grass and weeds. It should be long enough to nourish the roots, and short enough to make your lawn attractive.

From football pitches, to tennis courts to garden shows we’ve all seen those amazing stripes in their full glory adorning the grass. Striped lawns look good as they hide imperfections in a lawn such as slight differences in colour. This is because the stripes visually break up the lawn surface with narrow bands of different colour so gradual changes across a wider area are not so noticeable.  So how do you get this effect on your lawn, surely it takes a lot of time, effort and cultivation, specialised tools and a will of iron, no not mention the worlds greenest finger?Well actually no. Striped lawns are nowhere near as difficult as you might imagine, they just take a bit of knowhow, and the right tools for the job (Oh and a lawn). So what is this mythical set of tools required? Well actually it’s just a lawnmower. Granted it’s not just any lawnmower, but it’s not anything out of the ordinary either. As lawnmowers come in different types, with the most
