It’s important to maintain a consistent lawn mowing schedule if you want your lawn to look its best throughout the summer. Mowing keeps the grass at a healthy length and ensures that it grows in an even, manageable way, while removing any unwanted debris. Despite this necessity, it can be tricky to find the time to mow since it’s a time-consuming chore that needs to be done in socially acceptable hours! But there’s another complicating factor: the weather. While mowing your lawn often is important, mowing wet grass can actually do more harm than good.
While mowing a wet lawn isn’t impossible, it’s not recommended. Wet grass behaves differently than dry grass when cut and therefore creates new problems. Not only will the overall look be unsatisfactory but cutting wet grass can end up damaging your lawn and your mower, with the potential for injury as well. Even if you don’t see these results after a single mowing session, don’t let that fool you. Here are five ways that repeated mowing of a wet lawn will increase your risk of long-term damage to your yard and your tools.
