7 Hints on tending the lawn 7.1 7.2 7.3 7.4 Spring Summer Autumn Winter 7.1 Spring Cleaning: The first cut and the cleaning should be done two or three weeks before the normal growth starts. To mow, the cutting height should be adjusted in such way that approx. 1.5 cm of the resting grass will be cut off. Thus an early greening of the lawn will be effected.
