April showers don’t just bring May flowers—they also bring an explosion of grass growth. With spring rain and rising temperatures, lawns across the region are growing faster than ever. Whether you're a homeowner tackling weekly mowing or a landscaping professional managing multiple properties, having the right equipment makes all the difference. That’s where Scag comes in.

Why Spring Means More Mowing

Spring moisture combined with longer daylight hours creates the perfect conditions for grass to thrive. While this is great for lush, green lawns, it also means more frequent mowing is required to keep properties looking their best. Overgrown grass can lead to uneven cuts, clumping and extra strain on your mower. Investing in a high-quality mower now can save time and effort all season long.

Essential Spring Lawn Care Tips

To keep up with peak grass growth and maintain a healthy lawn, follow these essential tips:

1. Mow Frequently

Rather than cutting off large portions at once, aim to mow more often and remove only the top third of the grass. This encourages stronger root development and prevents stress on the lawn.

2. Keep Blades Sharp

Dull mower blades can tear grass instead of cutting it cleanly, leading to disease and discoloration. Regularly sharpening or replacing blades ensures a crisp, even cut.

3. Adjust Mowing Height

Avoid scalping your lawn by keeping your mower height at least 3 inches. Taller grass shades the soil, reducing moisture loss and preventing weeds from taking over.

4. Maintain Your Equipment

Peak mowing season is no time for unexpected breakdowns. Check your Scag mower for routine maintenance needs like oil changes, air filter replacements and belt inspections to keep it running at top performance.

Spring growth waits for no one. If your current mower isn’t keeping up, it’s time to upgrade to a Scag commercial mower. As an authorized Scag dealer, American Power Equipment has the top models in stock to help you tackle spring mowing season with ease.
