I figure two more hours of working in the back yard and pushing that push mower, then I will have to start on the front again. I work about thirty minutes at a time, probably twice a day. I will not do any yard work tomorrow,...

What is the Best Way to Mow a Lawn?

Steve Helmer @srhelmer (7047) • Beaver Dam, Wisconsin 21 May 16

Do you break your lawn down in sections and mow one section at a time? Or, do you mow the entire lawn at once? Is it mowed in a circular (or squared) fashion? Or do you mow in straight lines, back and forth.
