Mow lawns when necessary: the aim is to maintain a constant height throughout the year.

New lawns can be mown with the blades set to the highest setting, as soon as the grass reaches 5cm (2in) in height.

Your lawn may already need to be mowed: Set the cutting height at its maximum, and only mow when the grass is dry.

Mow your lawn now: Avoid too close mowing, which produces an attractive dense sward, but may result in weaker grass.

Mow your lawn less frequently, and raise the height of cut as the growth rate of the grass slows down.

Mow lightly and frequently so that short grass clippings can remain on the lawn to act as a moisture-retentive mulch.
