Contrary to what most people think, leaving the grass clippings on your lawn is very beneficial. The clippings add valuable nutrients and needed organic matter to your lawn. Studies have found that after one full year of mowing and leaving the clippings on the lawn it contributed to less than 1/16” of thatch buildup. If you feel the clippings are a nuisance consider re-cycling bi-weekly or at least once a month.
1-888 Lawn Tec recommends re-cycling grass clippings at least once a month and after each of our service applications. However, weekly grass re-cycling is best and is now recommended by any lawn care expert.
