Lawn Maintenance Mississauga

By Terry Rajaram


Maintaining your lawn is important to make sure that the grasses do no dry up or overgrow. Mowing is a maintenance job that makes sure that the grasses do not overgrow and fungus do not grow in the lawns. In Mississauga, many lawn trooping companies offer mowing as a regular maintenance job. Mowing also helps in weed control Mississauga.

What are weeds?: Weed is basically a plant that grows along with some important plants. The problem with weeds is that they have a very little or almost no importance. They have no medicinal, nutritional or energy value which can be helpful. Often, weeds grow quite rapidly, making garden maintenance difficult. Also, they take up more nutrients and water than the surrounding plants, which are important. Some of the weeds are even noxious or injurious. So, it is important to stop their growth.

How to mow: Lawn cutting should be done on a regular basis. An overgrown grass should be prevented. Grasses should be mowed carefully. The outside edges of the grass should be cut first, followed by mowing in straight lines. A double width should be left at the ends. Finally, missed patches, if any should be looked for and mown properly. You can additionally mow the lawn diagonally or in curved lines to make it look attractive.

Mulching: Mulching is very beneficial to the soil. It not only keeps the soil moist and cool, it also prevents weed growth by depriving them of light. Organic weeds are even more helpful as they act as a host to crickets and beetles. Crickets can help to destroy thousands of weed seeds.

Types of mowers: Use of good mowers is important for grass maintenance. There are different types of mowers which can be used. Rotary mower is one type in which the rotating blades of the mower cut the grass at a very high speed. Cylinder mowers and string trimmers are also often used.
