That being said, there are many conditions that affect<br \/>\nhow often you should mow your lawn:<\/p>\n<h2>Where You Live:<\/h2>\n<p>Here in Massachusetts we have predominantly \u201ccoarse-loamy\u201d soil. Which means our soil is a<br \/>\nslightly sandy mix that drains moisture well and is strongly acidic. This means your lawn may<br \/>\nneed to be watered a bit more often and may require more fertilizer than other soil types.<\/p>\n<h2>The Time of Year<\/h2>\n<p>Because we are a four seasons climate in New England, our lawns typically grow fastest in the<br \/>\nspring and fall when the soil reaches the perfect temperature for growing grass. We recommend<br \/>\nmowing on a weekly basis during these times. Growing tends to slow during the hotter months<br \/>\nand your mowing schedule may be less frequent.<\/p>\n<h2>If You Use Fertilizer<\/h2>\n<p>Not a big secret here. If you use fertilizer, your grass will grow faster and you will need to mow<br \/>\nmore often. The trick is to know the amount of fertilizer you need for your soil type.<\/p>\n<h2>How You Water:<\/h2>\n<p>Obviously, if you stop watering, or cut back, your grass won\u2019t grow as fast. But watering serves<br \/>\ntwo purposes. It feeds and nourishes your grass, but it also helps moderate your soil<br \/>\ntemperature. And as we know, grass grows fastest when the soil temperature is optimal.<\/p>\n<p>Luna Landscaping can help you determine how often your lawn needs to be mowed. We offer<br \/>\nreasonable rates, flexible schedules and reliable service.
