How to Mow Like a Pro

- For some, mowing is a daunting chore. For others it's therapeutic. Mowing can be even more enjoyable and rewarding if you have a nice patch to cut. Mowing your lawn properly is the single most important step that you can take to improve the quality of your grass no matter what type of turf you have, or where you live. There isn't really a secret to how to go about it, in this video I explain the steps that I take to mow my cool season lawn and how to get the best results from mowing frequently. You can also lay down some nice looking stripes which is the icing on the cake if you want to dominate your neighbors.
Thanks for watching, enjoy!

The lawn looks great! You have 5 inch grass (4.25 after cut) and I have 0.5” grass and I think it can look great both ways! 👍🏼
Believe me, if I could reel mow I’d do it in a heartbeat. Reel low alpha grass is something to be admired!
Bush League Lawns what grass seed do you use? I’m in transition zone
Marvin Mensah I use a blend of jaguar 4G, Padre, abs sungazer TTTF.

E TX doesn't حس
Me as a kid: I dont want to mow the lawn again -_-
Me as an adult: 🤔how do i mow my lawn properly
Literally starting to become me 😂
This is me right now.. I'm actually enjoying mowing day now 😅
Nah I’m doing this to impress my parents
I’m the exact same way as a kid I never thought about mowing as a teen I was worried and scared about it I’m 21 currently and yesterday I helped my mom mow for the first time in my life I was actually a little sad that there wasn’t more to mow, I was having fun!😂
Im about to mow a lawn for the first time ever and im 36. I was raised by a mysoginistic man who said women belonged in the kitchen. Well my husband is out of town and couldnt get to the lawn so wish me luck and thank you for this!
Wish my daughter would cut the lawn.
How’d it go?
Get out there and mow, it's therapeutic.
@nickwick35 it went great! I felt a huge sense of independence. Definitely tiring, but rewarding!
@grahamt5924 maybe give her an incentive to start mowing the lawn! Like an allowance or extra time to do something fun on weekends
Thankkk youuu! I am helping my disabled mother and I want her lawn to look THE BEST in the neighborhood great content !
Glad I could help!
Ur an actual angel that’s so sweet :,)
@@despairthewumbo9804 thank you I truly believe in honoring my mother she was the real angel now she watches over me
You’re a good kid bro, don’t ever let anything hold you back
Ain't no body cared
Looking fantastic. I'm glad you mentioned the blade being sharp. I sharpen my rotary about every 20,000 sqft of mowing.
Thank you so much, we just bought a house after living in apartments all our lives so I have no clue how to cut a lawn.
I really appreciate your knowledge have a blessed one!
Great video! I learned a lot from this video. I cannot wait to make my yard look good.
Mowing is the single most important thing you can do!
Awesome! I’m making a real effort with my lawn recently, used some feed on it about 6 weeks ago and I would say 90% of the weeds have gone, I’ve tried cutting it at least once a week if not more some weeks, I’ve also tried to make sure I’m watering it every 2 days. In those 6 weeks it looks fantastic, not perfect but just shows if you put the work in then it works.
Funny how my older clients always want a longer cut and the younger ones want it scalped. Voices of experience. The nice full green lawns get cut 2 to 3 times a month, the brownish green ones every 3 weeks or so. Great advice!
Thanks for sharing!
this video is very nicely organized and informative and for whatever reason very relaxing
Glad you enjoyed it!
this video w headphones on is amazing lol. Rock n roll
The most beating lawn I’ve seen thus far 😮
I love the lines. Looks so good!
On a normal day I was looking around TH-cam bored in my room then suddenly I found this video so I sent this to ritesh so he can learn word to bro this video helped a lot word to my motha
You're speaking my language in this one! Lawn looks awesome!
This is the song of my people.
@@TurfCulture haha. Yeah my whole channel is all about those cultural practices and saving $$$. Keep up the good work!
☀️ Nice looking stripes! Great video! ☀️
Thank you! 😀
Ron Swanson would be proud of you
Lawn is thick! Looking great bro
Thanks! it's definitely more aggressive this year. I tried doing a fall nitro blitz last November.
Lawn is looking fantastic. Keep doing what you're doing. PITTL brother
I really don't want to "dominate" my neighbors, but I do want them to know I am a reliable and capable neighbor. Thank you for the mowing information.
Show them that you are more than capable!
Loved seeing this while doing a math worksheet while our teacher played this in the background
Lawn looks fantastic dude!
Thanks!
Beautiful lawn ❤!
Taking mowing to a competive side 😆 asumme youre dominance love it 😄 nice videos thks for the tips ✌
thanks for watching!
Lawn is looking so good bud! All these guys with Timemasters, I gotta get me one!
Lazy Lawns feel like I’m being left in the dust will all the reel mowing lately!
@@TurfCulture you're not. The majority of people across the country and the world use rotary mowers.
A little side discharge action. Good tips bro.
I've always felt like I get a cleaner cut with side discharge.
Big help. Thank you
You're welcome!
Buddy my dad would be so jealous of your lawn
Not gonna lie. The background music goes so crazy. 🔥
Great information!
Dang! Your lawn is so awesome, I thought you were filming in Ladue or Town & Country! 😊😉
I'd be shocked if folks in Ladue and Town & Country were mowing their own lawns.
beautiful content, we all love lawns , thats what we spend most our day here in Calgary- mowing lawns 16 hours every day.
That is some nice looking grass. I don't usually crank my hoc up until closer to summer. I like my TTTF at 3.5 for the spring and fall.
Sam here, it has been growing pretty aggressively this year I not usually mowing this high already.
Very nice video. Good points for your climate. However, your headline says, “Mow like a Pro.” In my experience, that’s generally not good advice. While there are some good “Professionals” (i.e., those you pay to do it for you), many, if not most, are focused mainly on going through motions to get the job done fast and get out as quickly as possible. (To them it’s only about making as much money as quickly as possible, not about caring for your lawn.) Most of them tear over your modest yard with a huge industrial, sit-on or stand-on beast of a mower in the same direction (the easiest) each time. The mower is often set to cut too short, and leaves tire ruts and sometimes even skid marks. Then, using a string trimmer, they do a quick, pitiful hack-job of trimming where they rip the grass on an angle down to the dirt along your house and other objects, and perform so-called edging where they continue to hold their string trimmer horizontally (either because they’re too lazy or just don’t know better), and do the same angled scalping of the grass in strips alongside the pavement or bed. (It’s as though they’re not there to take care of your lawn, they’re there to kill it.) If you care about how your lawn looks, mow, trim, and edge it yourself using the good advice of this video as long as you can. When you no longer can do it yourself and need to hire a “Professional” service to do it, good luck.
Good tips, thanks
Great advice. Thank you.
The lawn is looking great!
Thanks!
Looks great bro
Only because that machine weighs close to nothing that it didn’t leave mark going or the actual concrete but well done on the cut regardless
The Toro Timemaster weights almost 200lbs, pretty heavy for a homeowner mower.
Question Im a beginner , when I cut the grass I go
Straight up and instead of turning I go backward to the beginning where I started and then move over is that bad or good
Thank you
Very professional. How much a machine like that runs for?
About $1,500 these days
I gotta dominate. Thats why im here.
I am not a landscape designer or golf course expert but I sharpen my blades three time per season as my first rule.
I cut my tall fescue around 3 inches and mulch and plant clover in certain spots for my bunnies. I never bag, side discharge maybe a half dozen times per season.
Dogs, deer, kids, bunnies all love my lawn.
Plus...I never use toxic chemicals only lime, over seed and aerate(mechanically and biological once per season)..all cheap and easy.
My lawn is healthy, gorgeous and can take abuse of kids, dogs, footb traffic and many parties/tents.
It's easy when you mow once per week and stay away from toxic chemicals.
Needed this 🔥
Nice video, thank you, lawn looks great
Thank you for the nice feedback!
I recommend EGO 56V Electric
Its not something we wanna do but we gotta do it you feel me
Kid: Mom can we have Hank Shrader?
Mom: We have Hank Shrader at home honey.
The Hank Shrader at home
Thanks?
Go Toro!!!
Awesome information 👏 And remember the ones who can't mow a straight line are the ones who's parents told them it's OK to color outside the lines 😂
I cut the Lawn today,Also Weedeated,& Blew the grass out to the street,60 years old ,still pushing on,lmao
You blew the grass out into the street??
I had surgery and hired a couple guys to mow while I heal. I noticed their mow is better than mine and I think it's because they go over it twice. Should I make 2 passes?
The commercial mowers give you a much better cut quality than a residential model. Double cut always looks better to me!
Good content mate, just subbed 🤙🏽
Lawn Dreams Thanks!! Subbed back.
Grass clippings go back into yard or in a catch type bag?
Mulched back into the lawn
On your passes, do you follow the tires tracks back and forth or overlap some?
See how ur grass from the wheels makes the grass mat down ? Mine does it too but then it turns brown..
Are you changing the blade height each different row or line you cut ? It's looks like it ? Thanks
I like to mow at the same height for most of the season
@@TurfCulture how do u determine what grass height to cut ?
your lawn looks like plush carpet !
Those foot tracks did something to my anxiety
My neighbor is a lawn fanatic I swear he mows every day and walks around and waters it and sprays and I feel bad because I dont spray my lawn and I have a ton of weeds
Ohh, so you're THAT neighbor...
You do not have to care for your lawn any more than the city requires.
*thats a nice buzz cut you're giving your grass*
Thanks for the video
To Dominate you say,what exactly are YOU dominating at? sports? art? In academics? Innovations?
All of the above
What’s the best inches to to cut with a lawn mower.
What grass type do you have?
Warm season grasses typically need to be cut 1.5 or lower depending on whether u have a reel mower or not. Cool season grasses probably need to be at 2-2.5. I’ve found personally that fescue will survive at this range of heights
I have a regular push mower what height level should I put the wheels at?
What type of grass do you have?
ohhh you lift it on the back wheels to turn 4:30
Precisely
how does the lawn come out like two different colors. I can barely mow and i have a shitty old mower. Does it have to do with cutting different lengths? When i cut the lawn the tracks of the wheels make it look really bad.
nvm watched till the end and found out my answer but any tips would help
Mowing in different directions with the sun to your back creates stripes in the lawn.
@@TurfCulture thank you 🙏
👍🏾
🔥🔥
I bet this guy grills a mean burger
You bet your ass
So many people say a zero turn mower is better than a hand rotary mower. Not true.
Better for acerage and lots of room
Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.
Hi Turf Culture, How do you mow the grass if you have a 21in deck mower? Would you do double lines?
Try some different mowing patters, double stripes look great!
@@TurfCulture I also don't have a striping kit, will it still work with the flap included
Where are you it's go time need some new content from you😊
how often should you sharpen your blades?
I take a look at the blades every few weeks, if they look like they need to be sharpened I just take care of it then.
Hmmm maybe I need a new mower
The Milwaukee M18 is my favorite!
What mower and stripe kit is that?
Checkmate by Big League
What's that roller on the back?
That is a Big League Lawns stripe kit
what mower are you using? thats a wide sucker!
Toro Timemaster
what am i supposed to put my front and back wheels on?
I’m confused.
what mower do you use?
I have several
@@TurfCulture what mower is that one ?
Normally bagged my grass, far better than leaving it on the Lawn.
Not as good for your yard, recycling nutrients is good
Doesn't throwing the grass cuttings back into the lawn create thatch buildup?
No, excessive amounts of nitrogen will though.
This guy mows
Indeed he does.
What’s that called
Sad but true. Poor people mow lawns.
Not everyone that mows lawns are poor
Its war😂😂😂
Aren't you supposed to cut 2 times a day
3
If you aren’t using a laser to line up with then are you even really trying?
How tall should I mow st. Augustine grass ?
Tall
@@TurfCulture टंज
what going on big boy??
MowlikeaPro,Ido900,000%Bing
What type of grass is this
Turf type tall fescue
Let me give you a proposition! Great video BTW. When my firm reaches a net worth of 15 million dollars you will be getting a 0,5% equity, have a great day
My lawn looks terrible.
Go get it done!
So the last two time I’ve mowed my lawn I’ve noticed I been leaving strips of long grass in between stripes how could I fix that?
Same
