Advice for Mowing Around Trees, Shrubs, and Other Obstacles

Mowing the lawn can be a tedious task, but it doesn’t have to be difficult. If you know how to mow around trees, shrubs, and other obstacles in your yard such as swing sets and clotheslines, it will make the process much easier. In this blog post, we will give you tips for mowing around these objects so that your lawn looks its best. Follow these tips and you’ll be able to mow like a pro!

One of the most important tips for mowing around trees, shrubs, and other obstacles is to be careful. Before starting, be completely aware of the layout of your lawn and the location of these objects before you start mowing. Once you know where they are, take your time and be careful not to hit them. This will prevent damage to your lawn mower and the objects themselves.

Another thing you could do to help is to adjust your blade height. If you’re mowing around delicate flowers or shrubs, you’ll want to make sure that your blade is set at a higher setting because this will prevent the mower blades from damaging the plants. Conversely, if you’re mowing around tough tree roots or thick grass, you may want to lower your blade setting so that it can more easily cut through these.

Why not also consider using a whipper snipper to help with your yard work too? This would be especially useful if you have a lot of obstacles in your lawn that you need to avoid. A whipper snipper can help you get into tight spaces and make quick work of any trimming that needs to be done. This then leaves plenty of room to get out the mower and finish off the job efficiently.

What should you do if you hit an obstacle when mowing?

If this happens, the first thing you should do is turn off the mower. Once it’s safely turned off, assess the situation and determine if there’s been any damage done. If you notice an issue, don’t try to continue mowing; instead, call us to take a look at it and make any necessary repairs. If there appears to be no damage, simply restart your mower and continue on with your work but be sure to listen for any strange noises coming from the mower. If you hear anything out of the ordinary, turn off the mower and call us for repairs before attempting to use it again.

We hope that these tips will be helpful to you the next time you go to mow your lawn! Be sure to follow them so that you can avoid any damage to your lawn or obstacles.
