A simple question to everyone, a poll if you wish.

Do you trim then mow the lawn, or mow the lawn and then trim?

Just curious!

I usually trim first, then mow -- so I can mow up the trimmings.

Trim, then mow - gets the edges before they get mashed down by the mower
wheels, and cuts up the trimmings so you don't have a mess to rake up (I use
a mulch mower...)

I just mow. Why would you trim?

My lawn is laid-out to avoid obstructions. The edges almost all are such
that I can run the wheels off the lawn. The trimmer comes out for the
weeds along the fence that's not near the lawn, and for the sprouting
birdseed cast-offs around the feeders, so I don't always even do it the
same day I mow. The edger comes out every couple of months,
re-establishing different parts each time, again, not always related to
when I mow.

When I was a kid, my dad had me trim after he mowed. It was after so I
could see where he missed, and match the height to what he got. And I
had to do it all by hand on my knees. That's part of why I've removed
part of the lawn where I couldn't mow to the edge at my house.

I don't find the order important, but usually it is mow then trim.
Cold beer can be at anytime and sweeping is last.

I find that drinking a cold beer while WATCHING a lawn being mowed is the
most satisfying ;-)

I give the beer to the slugs. See earlier post!

Bermuda and St. Augustine grasses. You will not longer know where the
yard ends and the sidewalk begins if you don't trim.

Trim then mow. That way I have clear path over the curb and driveway.
Besides, whacking those little impudent grasses that dare mess up my nice
lawn is a lot more fun for me than pushing a mower in circles. I have a
cordless electric trimmer. I might feel different if I had to mess with
an ext. cord.

I think there was a blurb in Parade (Sunday newspaper supplement) that
also said trimming first was better. I don't remember why ... might have
been a hokey reason.
