There is a perfect time to mow the lawn. Despite the recommendations, few people take them into account. And yet, this is very important.
Mowing your lawn is part of the regular gardening work that any owner of a house with a garden must carry out to be able to enjoy it throughout the summer season. From the start of spring, the mower is out. But did you know that there is an ideal time to mow your lawn? There is indeed a best time to tackle this task, for which there are many reasons, and that is late in the day or early in the evening.
Mowing the lawn late in the afternoon actually has several advantages. But despite this recommendation, it is surprising to find that few people pay attention to it. Firstly, after a hot day, the ground has had time to dry, making mowing more efficient and preventing wet soil from building up in the mower. Mowing in the morning should be avoided, the lawn is wet due to humidity from dew or fog.
If you plan to mow on a rainy day, postpone the task and wait until your lawn is dry. Mowing wet grass is a bad idea, it can lead to uneven mowing. Another reason to avoid mowing when the grass is wet and the debris will be damp and can clog the mower.
Then, at the end of the afternoon, the temperature begins to drop, which makes the activity more bearable and reduces the risk of heat stroke. On the other hand, you should really avoid mowing during the hottest part of the day, when temperatures are high. This is not good for the mower or the lawn. Finally, mowing at this time can be less disruptive to neighbors, since most people are still at work or going about their own activities at the end of the day.
Finally, remember to check the times and days you are allowed to mow with your town hall. It may vary from one city to another, but often, exterior work is possible
- Weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.;
- Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.;
- And Sunday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Despite the obvious benefits of mowing in the late afternoon, many people opt for other times of the day. One common reason is procrastination. People often postpone the task of mowing until the weekend or their days off, without considering the optimal time to do it. Additionally, some people prefer to mow early in the morning to avoid the heat of the day or simply to start their day with a productive activity. In addition, there are those who mow whenever they want, without worrying about the preferences of neighbors or the efficiency of the task.
