We are a
professional landscape and lawn maintenance company. While we prefer to perform lawn maintenance when the grass is dry, we don't always have the luxury of waiting.
Let's first establish that the grass cannot be soaked. For example, if it has rained 3 inches in the morning, we are obviously going to postpone our lawn cuttings until the grass is no longer saturated.
When we do cut the grass when it is wet, we make sure to go slower than normal - especially around turns and trees so that we don't make ruts in the lawn with our lawnmower wheels. In addition, we will take the extra time to bag the clippings when the grass is wet. This will help reduce the clumping of clippings from the mower when cutting wet grass.
While both of these steps increase the time it takes to cut the grass, our customers appreciate the extra care. Their lawns are not filled with muddy ruts and there are not clippings all over the place.
It is our experience that our customers prefer to have their grass cut on their normal days as long as when we cut, we do a good job and do not damage their lawn when cutting.
