Looking for a small reel mower for a small zoysia yard. Any recommendations?
Never have used one. So maybe not the route to go?Have you used a reel mower before? Not to dissuade you but you'll be cutting Zoysia twice a week more when there's a lot of rain
Don’t really know. Won’t be a large yard.Manual or motor?
ZoysiaIf you do it get a tru cut. Cut every week or every 3/4 days. You will be amazed at the cut. Nothing better. Don’t let it seed out either. What kind of grass?
If you reel cut it you will be the envy of the neighborhood. Trust me.Zoysia
If it’s taken to the erf mow away. Just try and not scalp it. Cut a little highWhen does one start mowing Zoysia after sodding? We had some sod put down when we had our pool installed and with all the rain and us watering it's taken hold pretty good. So when do I mow it?
You can chemical mow with round up also. Check the label and much cheaperI was cutting my Bermudagrass front yard every 3, at most 4, days. On August 19th I sprayed a plant growth regulator on the lawn. Next time I mowed was August 31st, then again on Sept 13th. Each time I took about 3/8” to 1/2” off. Currently grass height is about 2-1/2”. Next spring, I will control at a much shorter length. Directions say to apply every 4 weeks during active growing season. Greatly reduces leaf length growth, encourages root growth and turf density. So far I see only multiple benefits, no negatives. If interested, Google and YouTube are your friends. Stuff I bought is T-Nex. A gallon cost me about $140, but enough for at least a couple years - about 170,000 sq ft, more for some grasses. Zoysia requires 1/3 the amount as Bermudagrass. And I got a 24V rechargeable 4 gallon sprayer. Look into it if you’re spending too much time mowing.
