Mow your lawn frequently, never cutting off more than about 30% of the length of the grass blades. If you let grass grow too long the grass will become less dense, and this leave room for weeds to grow.   Kevin Solway (173)

Blade Sharpness: A dull mower blade shreds the tips of the grass blades. The shredding opens the ends of the leaf blades for increased moisture loss and potentially provides a site for disease invasion. Lawns cut with a dull mower blade may have an overall white appearance from the shredded grass blades.   [guest]

Property value: A great lawn has more than just health value. Appraisers estimate that a well-landscaped and maintained lawn adds 7% to the value of residential property. A recent Gallup Survey concluded that a 15% increase in selling price can be realized when the home is nicely landscaped.   [guest]
