Varying the pattern in which you mow will help to allow the blades to grow straighter and healthier. Grass blades tend to grow in the direction in which they are mowed. Alternating the pattern allows the blades to return to a more upright position

In general, most lawns in Western Australia require mowing every one to two weeks during the growing season, which typically runs from spring through autumn. During the winter months, when grass growth slows down, you can reduce the mowing frequency to once every three weeks depending on the rainfall, temperature and direct light on the lawn.

During Winter, you can generally keep your lawn longer than you would in the warmer seasons, to allow the lawn to get more light and grow thicker. However, the more frequent rain experienced in Winter will make your lawn grow quickly meaning a more often mow may be required.

There are a few simple lawn care tips that you can use to help get your lawn back on track. These include mowing your lawn regularly, fertilizing if you haven’t already recently and raking out dead plant material.
