Experts at Flymo have announced that Sunday 23rd March is the perfect day to cut the lawn for the first time this year.
Following the rain and ice from the winter, choosing the right tools and techniques to prepare your garden for the summer is crucial.
First Cut Sunday is eagerly awaited by homes up and down the country, marking the beginning of the season of garden parties and barbecues.
Flymo’s lawn experts have shared their First Cut Sunday top tips and product recommendations to give your lawn some love.
For small gardens:
Darren Feasey, Senior Director Product Strategy at Flymo, said: “If you don’t have lots of space in your garden, maximising space and convenience is key.
“The 18V SimpliMow 320 Kit is compact and lightweight, making it easy to pack away and use.
“Make sure to look over your lawn before mowing, removing any large sticks or rubbish that might have gathered from the winter.
“Potted plants will help to add some colour without taking away from lawn space. ”
For medium gardens:
Darren said: “Sticking with convenience, the 36V EasiStore 340R Kit is great for gardens with a bit more space to freshen up for the year.
“At Flymo, we recommend never cutting more than a third of the grass height at once, as it can stress the lawn. Ensuring your blade height is not too low will stop this from happening.
“Using a trimmer to clean up the borders of your lawn is an easy way to make it look tidier.”
For large gardens:
Darren said: “If you have the space, leaving an area uncut helps biodiversity in your garden to thrive.
“Whether that’s a strip in the middle or a border around a pond, wildflowers and insects can benefit from some room to grow.
“The 36V EasiStore 380R has a powerful motor to get the perfect lawn without the effort, with a rear roller to produce perfectly striped grass.
“First Cut Sunday is looked forward to by many green-thumbed gardeners, but for those who would rather spend their time looking at their lawn than tending to it, robot lawnmowers are becoming increasingly popular.
“The Flymo EasiLife range can be scheduled from your phone to cut the grass when it suits you - whether that’s at night or while you’re at work.
“Let your robot get excited for First Cut Sunday if you’re not.”
