Default Why mowing contractors do not use mulching mowers

we've never collect the clip from the lawn, i always say to people (i
used to mow lawns for a living as well) the best place for the clip is
on the lawn.

for us it has meant no fertilising so no lawn grubs and also our lawns
grow thicker and lusher (without watering) and we also cut them higher
and in dier periods ourt lawn always looks greener longer.

Simple;

1) If people pay you to mow their lawn, they expect to see something for
the $$$ and bags of grass clippings adds to their satisfaction.

2) Some people do not like the fine mulched grass that a mulching mower
leaves behind.

3) You become upgrade to a lawn maintenance consultant and charge more
because you then can add a "lawn fertilising service."


Leaving chopped up grass on your lawn is not a good idea.

Far better to compost the clippings for at least 6 months then put them on the garden.


With peace and brightest of blessings,
