Spring Lawn Mowing Tips Auckland | Garden Experts
Spring in Auckland is the perfect time to give your lawn a fresh start. With warmer temperatures and more rain, grass begins to grow quickly, and proper mowing becomes more important than ever. Whether you're doing it yourself or looking for a lawn mowing service, spring is the best time to get your yard in shape.
At Garden Experts, we help homeowners, landlords, and businesses across Auckland keep their lawns tidy and healthy. And if you’re looking to explore more lawn mowing service options, our trusted partner Quick Cuts also provides reliable mowing across the Auckland region.
Below are five simple and smart mowing tips to help you get through the season.
1. Start with a Clean Cut – Sharpen Your Mower Blade
Before you mow for the first time this spring, check your mower blade. A dull blade can tear the grass, leaving brown edges and opening your lawn up to problems like fungus and patchy spots.
Quick tip: Sharpen or replace your blade at the start of spring, and clean it after every few mows. A sharp blade makes a big difference in the way your lawn looks and feels.
2. Don’t Cut the Grass Too Short
It can be tempting to give your grass a very short cut, but doing so can harm the roots and allow weeds to take over. In Auckland’s spring weather, it’s better to let the grass stay a little taller.
Ideal cutting height:
Around 3–5 cm depending on the grass type. A little more length helps your lawn keep moisture and grow stronger.
Bonus tip: Never remove more than one-third of the grass height in one mow.
3. Mow More Often, Not Less
In spring, grass can grow quickly—especially after rain. Leaving it too long between mows can shock the lawn when it’s finally cut.
Recommended mowing schedule:
Once every 7–10 days in early spring
Once a week during peak growth
Regular mowing helps promote thick growth and keeps weeds under control. It also gives your lawn a cleaner, more even look.
4. Don’t Forget the Lawn Edges
The edges of your lawn can make a big difference to the overall appearance. Clean, sharp edges along fences, driveways, and garden beds give your yard a tidy finish.
At Garden Experts, we always include edging in our lawn mowing Auckland service. It’s these small touches that keep your property looking cared for.
5. Decide What to Do with the Clippings
Grass clippings can either be left on the lawn or removed. In spring, mulching (leaving small clippings) can help return nutrients to the soil and improve moisture retention.
But if the grass was long or wet, clippings might clump up. In those cases, it’s better to remove them.
We offer both options – Just let us know your preference when booking your mowing job.
