Step 3 · Mow the Lawn

Start the lawn mower according to its operating instructions. Begin mowing the lawn, maintaining a consistent pace. For a professional look, follow a pattern such as mowing in straight, overlapping lines. If the grass is very tall, consider mowing at a higher setting first, then lowering the height for a second pass. Ensure you are cutting no more than one-third of the grass blade height at a time.
