1. It Supports Healthy Grass Shoots

Each yard contains some healthy grass shoots and some...not as healthy grass shoots. Each pass of the lawn mower helps take out the brittle, weak grass shoots. The strongest shoots are then left behind. They are able to multiply and spread, adding more healthy shoots to your yard. Consistently using your lawn mower makes your yard stronger.

2. It Cuts Down Weeds

Your lawn mower trims your grass - and anything else in your yard. If there are any weeds in the area, they also get a trim. Grass recovers faster than weeds, so each time you use the lawn mower you give your grass a 'head start' on growth. 

3. It Returns Nutrients To The Soil

As you use your lawn mower, you will end up with fallen shoots of grass. These are composted quickly and add valuable nutrients back into the soil. If your lawn mower has a mulching kit, you can enjoy these benefits even more. Each pass of the lawn mower helps boost the nutrients in your soil, which supports grass health.

4. It Promotes Consistent Growth

An evenly cut lawn is more than beautiful looking. It’s set up for success! When grass is evenly cut, it’s able to maximize the resources from sunlight and water. These resources can be evenly spread throughout the yard, which promotes grass growth.

5. It Attacks Pests

It's not uncommon for yards to contain pesky bugs. But these critters don't stand a chance against the sharp blades of a lawn mower. Your lawn mower can help cut down the insect population.

6. It Reduces Debris

Using a lawn mower helps prevent debris from overrunning your yard. Before you use your lawn mower, walk around and gather up big chunks of debris that could harm your equipment (such as fallen branches). When you use your lawn mower, your equipment is able to handle smaller debris (such as fallen leaves).

7. It Gets You Outside

Research study after research study shows that people benefit from being outside. There's the mood-boosting Vitamin D, the tranquil atmosphere, and other perks that make us healthier. When you mow your lawn, you get valuable time in nature.

8. It Instantly Improves Your Property's Aesthetic

Finally, using your lawn mower keeps your yard looking amazing. Transform overgrown brush into a perfectly manicured lawn. You can tackle other landscaping projects, but none can provide such a quick and immediate transformation as mowing your lawn.
