How to Mow Your Lawn in Northwest Indiana Without Hurting It

In this episode of the Perma-Green Lawn Maintenance Podcast, Steve Daly, and Jim Jano break down one of the most overlooked factors in lawn health: proper mowing.

Every spring across Northwest Indiana, the same mowing mistakes appear. Cutting too short. Removing too much blade at once. Bagging clippings unnecessarily. Mowing at the wrong time of day. These habits can stress turf and reduce the effectiveness of lawn treatments.

Steve explains how mowing height, frequency, and timing directly affect long-term lawn performance and how homeowner mowing habits either support or undermine professional fertilization programs.

This episode covers:

• Ideal mowing heights by season in Northwest Indiana
• Why grass clippings should usually stay and act as natural mulch
• When mowing frequency should increase or decrease
• How mowing height influences weed pressure and root development
• What to know about the last mow of the season in Indiana

If you want your lawn treatments to work the way they’re designed to, mowing correctly is essential.
