Lawn Look Brown After Mowing? Try This...

- Have you ever wondered why your lawn sometimes looks brown after you mow it? There are a handful of reason why this might be the case that I address in this video.
Of all the reasons most of the time it has to do with mowing the grass too low and needing to run a dethatcher over the lawn. Bring the mower deck up and run a power rake over the lawn a couple times a year and a lot of that brown tingle will go away.

The single most advice I’ve given my friends and neighbors is to raise your cut height. They thank me every year. Thank you for your content.
I sharpened my mower blade a week or so ago(I wait until I get the yards totally cleaned up of any sticks and pebbles, and the grass is growing good) and I can clearly tell the cut and color is so much better
It's always surprising how much of a difference that tip alone makes
So i sharpen my blade every time i cut so the leaf blade isnt torn to leave it open to disease. I cut at 4 inches and my grass is green all the time. These 2 things are so important. My yard is the talk of the neiborhood people cant beleive how thick and green that it is all year long. I have tall fescue. Im a yard guy and i love working in the yard. You know you get out of something what you put in. Again keep that blade sharpe every cut and cut all the way to the higest level on your lawnmower. Of course i bag my lawn so its clean and neat with no chunks of grass or anything. Good luck and enjoy your cut.
Very informational. Great video
Interesting information, thank you.
Been preaching for years now the simplest thing to do is raise the blade and make sure it’s been sharpened, as well as balanced. Good info, newly subbed. (Cool season grass referring to above)
I think the RUclips algorithms is in my head. I just got done mowing, notice the same thing (brownish color). Got done, grabbed a beer to wind down while watching the game…this video pops up. Crazy.
They know too much about us 😂
@@TurfMechanicThey do. Either way, the video was insightful and helped me out a lot. Thanks.
Thats great to hear, glad it was worth the watch. I'm casually watching the Dodgers now, thinking of switching over to the A's game. It's a good day.
What is the green square in the middle of the lawn?
Is turf more likely to stay green if it's cut often?
Yes, because optimally you don’t want to ever cut more than 1/3 of the grass blade off because any more than that can stress the grass which can easily effect color. Mowing frequently and never breaking the 1/3rd rule is the easiest way to get the most out of your lawn without adding a single fertilizer
@@chrisglenn2096 thanks! My lawn looks scalped everytime I mow. I'm going to try mowing at least every three days this season to see if it helps.
You'll be amazed at how well this works if you keep to it all year.
Whats the reason for the planters along side the lawn.
not sure what planters you are talking about exactly. I have a small ornamental bed up by my silver car parked at the road in this video, we grow artichokes in a planter bed near the garage door, not sure that ever made it in shot in this video, and possibly you are thinking of the parkway strip in front of the house? That's Buffalograss maturing from seed. West face of the house is hibiscus and a succulent ground cover that may get renovated later this year.
Driveway and sidewalk closer to the road
Ohh, you are talking about the pots up there. Those are pots of different grass types. most of those types I don't grow in the lawn. I use them to learn more about them, compare them, use them for video footage, and of course for visual interest and decoration out front. Currently those pots are Centipede Grass, Whittet Kikuyu, Citrablue St Augustine, Prestige Buffalo, and the tiny ones are some cool season grasses that I need to pot up.
you planted ANNUAL ryegrass?
I think he did on certain areas of his lawn. I could be wrong.
Probably has it for the winter to cover up the brown warm season grass & keep the lawn green through the winter.
CanadianLawnStriper got it right. I grew it over my dormant Bermudagrass lawn through the winter. It can transition back to Bermuda naturally as temperatures increase in late Spring or it can be killed off earlier to have a full warm season lawn for a longer season. The side lawn by my driveway is young Kentucky Bluegrass, it's not ready for a full dethatching, too young.
yep, just the main yard out front, since it's so shady there in the winter and it was dormant warm season grass
you got it
I ironically used my Greenworks power rake earlier today and the owner’s manual clearly says NOT to run it backward, only forward.
Those manuals are there for a reason...don't mind me doing it backwards though, it just seems to work better in that direction 🤔
Nice flat lawn.
Thanks a lot, did a couple smallish leveling jobs last spring and it paid off. 👊
Stop cutting it low. It doesn’t mean you have to cut less often. Unless you have a golf course for a yard. The lower you cut, your inviting you hot spot to die and weeds come in. Then your weeds are tall and you mow again. Next thing you know you’re killing you grass and don’t even know it. The canopy of your grass is good for it. Unless you are manicuring it meticulously if course.
I cut my Bermuda low and often in the spring to train it to grow horizontal and thicker. That prepares it for the hot, dry summers in central Texas. As it gets hotter, I gradually raise the blade for a thicker lawn that shades itself and retains more water.
