1. Puts Nutrients Back In The Ground
Lawn mowers leave behind discarded shoots of grass. This yard debris will decompose and add important nutrients back into the soil, which aids the growth of the grass. Models with a mulching kit can get even more of these nutrients returned into the ground in a convenient way.
2. Get Rid Of Pests
Bugs are no match for the sharp blades found on a lawn mower. With every pass on the grass, insects meet their end. It's a simple way to help keep the pest population under control before you turn to bug spray.
3. Get Rid Of Weeds
With every pass of the lawn mower, weeds get cut down. But weeds take longer to recover than grass shoots. Mowing your lawn helps give the grass a "head start" to grow strong before weeds can start to cause harm.
4. Support The Strongest Grass Shoots
Every yard contains some healthy shoots and some less than healthy shoots. Using a lawn mower cuts all of the shoots, but the strongest ones are the ones left thriving. The sturdy shoots multiply and leave the weak ones behind. Consistent mowing helps improve the overall health of the yard, making it stronger against bad weather and pests.
5. Reign In Debris
It's amazing how quickly an area can get overrun with debris. Fallen leaves, kicked-up rocks, and other hazards can add unsightly clutter—not to mention, debris interferes with the grass' ability to soak up rain and sunshine. Before you mow your grass, you will need to walk around and pick up large pieces of debris. Otherwise, these items can cause expensive damage to your lawn mower. Plowing over a fallen branch, for example, could result in quite the repair bill. Regularly mowing your lawn also results in regularly cleaning up debris off of your yard.
You'll need to pick up the large pieces, but your lawn mower can handle the small bits of debris. All you need is a mulching kit attached to your lawn mower. It'll be able to handle items such as fallen leaves, helping to prevent buildup.
6. Get Instant Visual Improvement
An overgrown, unkempt yard is appealing to no one. Improve the appearance of your property with a quick mowing. It's one of the easiest landscaping options with the quickest aesthetic impact.
7. Maintain Consistent Growth
Not all grass shoots grow at the same rate. Left to their own devices, the various shoots would end up at different heights. This could make resource distribution (such as sunlight and water) harder to keep even, which makes even growth tougher to achieve. Regular mowing, on the other hand, keeps the shoots at the same height and promotes even resource distribution. This leads to an overall healthier yard.
8. Re-Familiarize Self With Your Yard
When you mow your yard, you end up traversing the entire area. See your property from new spots and angles, which can give you valuable insight. Maybe you notice a pest infestation in a far corner that you can't see from your house. Maybe you come up with inspiration for the next landscaping undertaking. Spending time walking your property helps you re-familiarize yourself with it, which can result in uncovering new projects.
9. Soak Up Nature's Benefits
Spending time in nature is important for physical, mental, and emotional health. Mowing your yard gets you outside where you can enjoy perks such as improving your immune system and reducing your blood pressure. It's nice when a chore can improve your health!
