Having a beautiful, green lawn around your home is something that most homeowners love. Unfortunately, it may sometimes be a struggle to achieve that goal. There are many things that affect your lawn, its growth and appearance. One of the major influences is how often and how short you cut your lawn. Allowing your lawn to grow wild is of course not the answer, since it will go from a beautiful cover to a wild looking, neglected plot of land in a very short time. However, cutting your lawn too short can cause serious damage to your lawn, leaving you with yellowing or even bare patches. Instead, you should keep it trimmed at regular intervals, so that you can keep it at an appealing length.

In some areas, it might be necessary to irrigate your lawn to keep it healthy, especially during dry periods, but if it is doing well just from natural rain and dew, this is a cheaper and more environmentally friendly option.
