Mowing the grass or “Sod” on the East End of Long Island requires focus and knowledge of the local conditions. The lush grass needs regular care to stay healthy. Changing seasons affect how often mowing is needed, especially in spring when growth is rapid. The sandy soil can also influence how well the grass holds water and nutrients, making it necessary to adjust mower height to avoid cutting too short. Mowing is best done in the early morning, so that’s the time to enjoy the smell of fresh cut grass.
