While trying to save time, don’t be tempted to scrimp on mower coverage. When you mow, it’s important to overlap each pass by at least three inches. That will ensure an even mowing with no skipped strips. One of the best ways to save time is to use a mower with a wide cutting bed.

One of the best ways to cut your mowing time is to use the largest mower that’s practical for your lawn. Mowing a one-acre lawn with a 24-inch mower will save about an hour over mowing the same size lawn with an 18-inch wide mower.

Maneuvering around trees consumes a lot of time while mowing the lawn. You can reduce the wasted time by surrounding trees with mulch to make mowing easier.

The more corners your lawn contains, the more time you’ll waste mowing in and out of them. Design your lawn with soft circular sides and no sharp edges and you’ll save lots of time.
