How often should you mow the lawn?

They have opted for a new gasoline lawnmower with drive and now want to use it full of energy. But how often should you use it? And what should be considered in particular?

Experts emphasize that a utility lawn in the garden should be mowed weekly in season. In any case, you should use your new gasoline lawnmower regularly for care. A powerful motor and sharp knives are the basic prerequisites for a precise cutting result, whereby you can use resilient quality in this respect with the models you can order here. You should generally mow the lawn from spring to autumn. The exact data makes little sense, as the concrete weather is crucial. As soon as the first frost sets in and the lawn visibly stops growing, you should store your lawnmower until spring.

Stick to the one-third rule when mowing the lawn

This rule states that you should never cut the grass too short. Specifically, you should never mow more than a third of the existing leaf mass. Especially in summer at very hot temperatures, the lawn can otherwise burn quickly. Unsightly yellow or possibly bald spots would be the result. If you have been on holiday for a long time and the lawn has grown vigorously in the meantime, you should carefully mow it in several stages. To do this, take advantage of the individual adjustability of the cutting height provided for many models. So you can bring your lawn back to the usual cutting height.

In wet conditions, you should not mow the lawn!

Keep in mind that stalks and leaves partially bend when wet and therefore cannot be cut evenly. In addition, the cuttings can clump together and thus ensure an imprecise result. Apart from that, the wheels can penetrate more strongly into the softened ground and lead to unsightly damage (in the worst case even to the grass scar). And finally, you would make yourself unnecessary work, because cleaning a wet lawn mower is much more complex.

Again and again on Sundays? On this day you are not allowed to mow the lawn!

On weekends, as a garden lover, you will find time and leisure to use your new motor lawnmower. But is mowing the lawn allowed on Sundays? No, you need to bring this gardening forward to Saturday. According to the Federal Emission Protection Act, mowing in residential areas is generally prohibited on Sundays and public holidays.

Maintenance and care of the gasoline lawnmower – What do you have to consider?

Basically, when caring for a gasoline lawnmower, you should make sure to clean it immediately after each use. So dirt has no chance to settle in the first place. When cleaning/checking the underbody, you should make sure that the spark plug is removed. An accidental start must be ruled out in any case during cleaning or maintenance work. If you handle the sharp knives, you should put on protective gloves to consistently protect yourself from cuts. Ventilation slots attached to the housing must always be free of grass so that the air can circulate completely freely.

Sharpening the knives

The sharpness of the knives is crucial for a precise and uniform result when mowing. In this respect, you can read the condition of the mower blades on the cutting pattern. By the way, it’s no different in the kitchen: Here, too, chefs sharpen the knives with a certain regularity. The cutting unit of modern lawn mowers is very robust and designed for durability. However, if you use your motor lawn mower very regularly, it makes sense to regrind the knives once a year. If you do not want to do this yourself or do not have the necessary equipment, you can quickly have this maintenance work carried out in a specialist workshop.

Check the air filter and replace it if necessary

A glance at the air filters of a petrol lawnmower with wheel drive is usually enough to get a meaningful picture. If the slats are visibly discolored, the filter is likely to be clogged. You should then replace it. If you wait too long, too little air may arrive at the carburetor. A noticeable drop in performance would be the result. If you find traces of oil on the air filter, this may indicate problems in the engine area. In such rare cases, a defect in the cylinder head gasket is particularly suitable.

Replace spark plugs

Nothing is more annoying than a petrol lawnmower, whose engine simply does not want to start even after umpteen attempts. The spark plugs quickly come into focus as a possible cause. As a rule, they fall out as a cause if they are dry and have a grayish or brown discoloration. If signs of wear become visible on the outer edges, then the spark for ignition can no longer jump. To prevent future problems and ensure smooth functionality, you should replace the spark plugs about every 3 years. This value is to be understood as a rough orientation if you use your motor lawn mower regularly. If the spark plugs are in an obviously sooty condition during maintenance checks, this is an indication of a fuel mixture that is too fat. The reason for this can be an added air filter.

Performing an oil change on a motor lawn mower

Experts recommend changing the oil once a year. The oil filter should also be replaced in a single operation. This is especially true if you use your lawnmower very regularly. Which oil is suitable for this, you can read here in compact form. Please make sure to dispose of the drained oil in an environmentally conscious manner at a recycling center.
