Do you have to cut your grass after rain? Professional advice on how to tend your wet lawn
Mowing wet grass, especially while it's raining, is not a smart idea. It's better to be patient until the grass and turf are completely dry. As of now, March and April have both been wet in certain areas. The tree service in Frankfort, KY will not mow lawns if the weather is too wet or if it's raining all day to ensure the safety of our equipment as well as to ensure the lawns are protected.
The issues are as follows:
When it's rainy and wet the grass can't stand up straight as is normal, and so it's not able to give a great cut and leaves grass clumps. When it's damp it is common for a large number of areas that don't get cut, leading to poor cut. The grass may grow so dense and heavy from water that it becomes difficult to blow off. This can result in dead spots.
The machine has the potential be damage the turf by causing indents and ruts. If it's so damp that the water covers the pavement or road it's an ideal idea to drive a big machine over the grass. It's likely to sink in and cause damages to the lawn and also create ruts that will make everything uneven.
The grass grows heavier when it is wet and can result in damages to the mower's drive and motor. Trying to mow the grass too short can result in the mower slowing down and slow. If you attempt to cut wet grass the same thing happens. It adheres to itself and becomes heavier due to the water weight, putting unnecessary strain on the motor and drive.
There are risks to safety while mowing lawns under rainy or humid conditions. It is more likely not to slip and fall in rainy conditions. This makes it extremely risky to work in the vicinity of the spinning blades. It's no surprise the operation of a mower that plugs into and operates on electric power in wet or under damp conditions is extremely risky. In the United States, approximately 69 people die each year due to lawn mower injuries. Safety of the lawnmower is essential to tree services Frankfort Lawn Mowing.
The advantages of mowing your lawn during rainy weather are not worth the hassles. As I read about lawn care in rainy weather, I came across some tips. The advice was that you should only cut your lawn if absolutely needed.
-
Drag a hose along the lawn to eliminate of some of the water. The grass will then dry quickly.

Empty the bag on more frequently.
