Michael shares his top tips to mowing the perfect lawn in time for summer.

• We have a range of mowers accessible to us with many different rotary and cylinder mower brands.
• We are also seeing a big shift into electric and battery-operated mowers which is fantastic for the environment.
• The most important is making sure the blades on your mower are sharp so that the leaf of the plant is not damaged or torn during cutting.
• Regular maintenance to keep your blades sharp is essential and if it’s a cylinder mower you are using it is also important to make sure that there is just the right amount of contact between the cylinder and the bed knife.
• Scalping your lawn will also send the plant in to shock and shorten the root system so remember to only ever remove 30% of the leaf with each cut.
