The Benefits of Regularly Mowing Your Lawn

Most people mow their lawns because they feel they have to in order to keep it somewhat tidy and looking good for curb appeal. However, there are actually a lot of benefits to mowing your lawn that you may not be aware of, from improved grass health to removing debris and pests.

Bobcat of Buffalo in Lockport is your New York lawn mower dealer. Here are just a few of the many benefits you can derive from regularly mowing your lawn with a quality lawn mower.

1. Cuts Down on Debris

Before every mowing, you have to walk around your front and back yards to pick up any items that may get caught in your mower: stones, branches, dog toys, sports equipment and so forth. This helps to keep your yard cleaner. The actual act of mowing also helps to cut down on debris because your machine chops up dead leaves with the mulching kit to prevent them accumulating too much.

2. Returns Nutrients Into the Soil

Worried about the health of your grass? Mowing your lawn allows the strongest shoots to flourish and cuts down the weaker shoots. Those fallen shoots quickly compost, providing the healthy grass with the nutrients it needs to grow lusher and greener than ever before. 

3. Prevents Weed Growth

Mowing your lawn helps you to prevent weeds from taking over the whole yard, because you can cut them off right down to the ground, stopping them from spreading their seeds and propagating further. Your grass recovers much more quickly than weeds can, so each time you mow, you’re keeping those weeds in check.

4. Makes Your Yard Look Nice

This is the most common benefit that people derive from mowing, of course, but it’s still worth mentioning. While other home improvement tasks or landscaping projects may take you weeks to complete, mowing your lawn is a quick and easy way to make your property look great.

5. Gets You Active and Outside

Finally, another great reason to mow your lawn is that it helps you to be more active and ensures you get yourself out into the sunshine for a while. As you know, sunshine helps your body to produce vitamin D, while spending time outside boosts your immune system and lowers stress levels. Lawn mowing is an easy chore to do if you want to be outdoors.
