Maintaining a lush, green lawn requires more than just regular mowing and watering. There are common lawn care mistakes that can lead to patchy grass, weeds, and other issues. Here, we’ll explore these pitfalls and how BJ Mowing can help you avoid them for a healthier, more vibrant lawn.

Overwatering or Underwatering

Watering your lawn may seem straightforward, but it’s easy to overdo or underdo it. Overwatering can lead to fungal diseases and shallow root growth, while underwatering stresses the grass, causing it to brown and die.

To maintain the right moisture level, it's crucial to understand your lawn's specific needs. BJ Mowing provides expert advice and services to ensure your lawn receives the optimum amount of water.

Incorrect Mowing Techniques

Many homeowners make the mistake of cutting their grass too short, thinking it will reduce the frequency of mowing. However, this can harm your lawn by exposing the soil to sunlight, encouraging weed growth, and weakening grass roots.

BJ Mowing uses professional techniques to determine the ideal mowing height for your grass type, ensuring a healthy and robust lawn.
