Sir Walter can be mown at various heights ranging from 15mm to 50mm, however correct height can depend on personal preference and climatic conditions. Mow higher in shady areas. It is recommended to raise your mowing height prior to winter. Generally, a longer leaf will encourage a deeper root system, which is preferred to encourage drought tolerance.

Prevention is always better than cure. If a Sir Walter lawn is kept in a healthy and well fertilised condition, weed eradication is rarely necessary. If in the rare circumstance weed spray is required, we suggest that you first heavily fertilise when weeds are noticed, followed by at least two mowings in a three-week period. This will usually reduce the problem to a minimum. If spraying is still required, there are several herbicides that can be used.

Yes you can. If insect damage occurs, apply any turf-registered insecticide (eg Baythroid) following the manufacturers instructions.

It is not a good idea to mow your lawn when it is wet. It can cause uneven mowing and ruts in your lawn. The clippings from mowing a wet lawn will be messy and they can mat and suffocate the grass. It is better to mow the grass when it is dry, even though it may look bad for a couple of days.

You can request a time of week (beginning of the week, near the weekend, etc.) and we will try to accommodate you. However, to maximize efficiency we try to mow all lawns in the same area on the same day, especially lawns in the same neighborhood.

Cutting a lawn too often, particularly with the blade set low, exposes the lower portion of grass leaves to bright sun, burning them. If this happens repeatedly, grass reacts by developing shallow roots. Shallow-rooted lawns are particularly prone to disease and weed problems. In addition, poor rooting does not provide enough nutrients to the grass leaves. A lawn with shallow roots may eventually die out.

Generally speaking, it takes from 2 to 3 times longer for the Robomower to mow than a walk-behind mower. This can be an understandable concern from people who have never used the Robomower, but remember, this is an automated process, no human time is involved.

The two most important components of mowing are cutting height and frequency. The highest setting of the mower should be used to condition the turf. You should never mow off more than 1/3 of the blade when cutting. This will minimize stress on the lawn and will leave enough leaf surface for photosynthesis to occur which provides food for regrowth.

If you are talking about the blues, I drop the blade to cut just above the green that can be seen underneath. This means that my blade is usually set for one to one and a half inches. If you have the money, it is; if you don’t, it isn’t. It all depends on whether you feel the convenience is worth it.

Generally speaking, it takes from 2 to 3 times longer for the Robomower? to mow than a walk-behind mower.

Wait at least six weeks after last bloom. Cutting off a daffodil's leaves before then will weaken the bulb and it will eventually die out. The leaves manufacture food for next year's bloom.
