Go Bagless

Why Do You Go Bagless?

I Do It Because It's Easy

No bagging and dragging of grass required
Reduces the need to water your lawn by putting moisture in the ground. Grass cut to a height of 6-8 cm (2.5-3 inches) will slow water evaporation from your soil
Reduces the need to fertilize your lawn. The grass clippings quickly decompose, naturally fertilizing your lawn with nutrients after each mow
By Going Bagless for one summer, you can save up to a full day of your time
Going Bagless gives you a lush, healthy lawn which helps prevent disease, thatch and weed growth. Learn more
