How to Mow the Lawn Fast! Read Our 10 Tips on How to Reduce the Time it Takes to Cut the Grass
1. Use a lawnmower with a wide cutting width– this will reduce the number of times you have to go up and down the garden
2. Invest in a good quality mower – this will be less prone to breaking down and will make mowing feel easier
3. Consider a mulching mower or one with a large cuttings bag to reduce time spent picking up/emptying clippings
4. Clear the grass of toys, tools and stones and other debris before you start
5. Cut the lawn when it is dry - wet grass is more difficult to mow
6. To avoid missing spots make sure that the line between the cut and uncut grass stays inside the mower’s far wheel
7. Try to make long straight cuts as turning the lawnmower takes time. Fewer turns mean less time taken away from actual mowing
8. Try to speed up your natural walking pace while mowing. Try listening to fast paced music and match your steps to the beat
9. Take a knife or trowel with you and clear weeds where you see them as you go along
10. Get someone else to do it – your kids, your neighbours’ kids, a professional –it doesn’t matter – allowing you to sit back with a cold one and admire all the hard work
