What is mowing?

Mowing is an important process aimed at maintaining the health and beauty of green spaces. This agronomic method involves cutting grass to a specific height, which promotes its active growth and strengthening. Proper mowing not only prevents the rampant overgrowth of undesirable plants but also helps restore balance in the ecosystem, supporting biodiversity.

During the mowing process, various techniques can be encountered, including mechanical, manual, and even combined methods. Mechanical mowers provide a quick and efficient cut, allowing coverage of large areas, while manual tools such as sickles and scythes offer a more careful approach in hard-to-reach places. Each of these approaches has its unique technique, making mowing an essential part of gardening and landscape design.

Physical characteristics of mowing include the choice of cutting height and the specifics of the tools used. The optimal cutting height depends on the type of herbaceous plants and their intended use: in decorative gardens, this value will differ from that in sports and agricultural lands. Additionally, properly executed mowing helps prevent the development of fungal diseases and pests, strengthening the root system and improving soil aeration.

The environment for mowing can vary from home gardens and park areas to agricultural fields and sports grounds. Here, mowing plays a key role in ensuring the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the space. Depending on the season, this procedure may change its characteristics: in spring and summer, mowing is performed more often to maintain freshness and growth, while in autumn and winter, it may take on a lighter, restorative nature.
