The Benefits of Mowing Your Lawn

You may think of your lawn mower as a useful item for one purpose: cutting your grass shorter. However, did you know that there are a number of benefits to mowing your lawn that make your mower a vital tool in your yard maintenance arsenal? Keep reading to learn more about some of the ways that mowing your lawn can be helpful.

1. Gives Your Lawn Necessary Nutrients

When you mow your lawn, the grass clippings compost and release their nutrients back into the soil under your yard. This helps to boost the health of the grass as it grows, right from the root, which makes your yard stronger and lusher.

2. Reduces Pests & Weeds

Another great reason to mow your lawn is that you’ll be culling both pests and weeds by doing so. Your lawn mower can reduce the population of insects and grubs that chew up your grass, in addition to chopping up those pesky weeds that are sucking up vital water and nutrients. 

3. Helps You Clean Your Yard Up

Finally, mowing your lawn encourages you to tidy it up first, since you’ll have to pick up rocks, stones, branches, dog and kid toys, gardening tools, and any other items that might be lying around. You’ll end up with a much nicer-looking yard when you’re done!
