If your lawn looked rough last summer \u2013 patchy grass, brown spots or lots of dandelions<\/a> and weeds \u2013 there\u2019s one simple thing lawn experts say can make a surprisingly big difference: sharpen your mower blade.<\/p>\n

It sounds almost too easy, but a dull mower blade can quietly wreck an otherwise healthy lawn. And right now is the perfect time to fix it before the season of regular lawn mowing<\/a> begins.<\/p>\n

What happens when your mower blade is dull<\/p>\n

Torn grass blades are more vulnerable to disease, fungus and common garden pests<\/a>. Frayed grass tips create openings where problems can spread quickly during hot, humid weather.<\/p>\n
