However, we still have cold, wet weather forecasted for March and beyond. We are beginning to start our mowing and will do our best to get properties mowed without causing damage from the saturated soil conditions. We want to avoid the damage pictured below with mower wheel ruts. Wet grass is also quite difficult to mow and bag. We are monitoring conditions and will work around the weather to mow when we can, but this is shaping up to be a very challenging start to the mowing season. Spring Weather Challenges Cold Delays Growth: The cold weather has delayed normal spring grass growth Wet Conditions: Extended cold and wet weather forecasted for March Soil Saturation: Saturated soil is easily damaged by heavy equipment Delayed Winter Work: February's cold, snowy, and icy conditions delayed some normal winter preparation Our Mowing Approach Timing: Mowing only when conditions allow to prevent damage Careful Monitoring: Regularly assessing soil moisture conditions Priority Balance: Finishing winter pruning and bed preparation when too wet to mow Patient Approach: Working around weather patterns to ensure quality service If there is any consolation, the cold weather has delayed normal spring grass growth, so the need to mow is less than in a typical year. The cold, snowy, and icy conditions in February did delay our normal winter work to prepare for spring, but luckily we were ahead of schedule due to the dry January. Additionally, the reduced pressure to mow has allowed us to finish up winter pruning and shrub bed preparation for the coming spring. Ah, what about spring? The equinox is in three weeks, but the forecast calls for extended cold and wet weather. Yes, last Friday and Saturday were teases\u2014real spring won't be here for a while. When We Can & Can't Mow Conditions Good for Mowing Dry soil that doesn't compact under foot Morning temperatures above freezing Clear days with no rainfall Dry grass that cuts and bags cleanly Conditions That Prevent Mowing Saturated soil that shows footprints Morning frost or temperatures below freezing Active rainfall or immediately after Standing water on lawns TAGS: Lawn Care Soil Preparation Wet Soil Weather Challenges Mowing Tips Share this article: Facebook LinkedIn Twitter","source_bloq_id":646315,"bloq_type":"bloq-blog-details","position":0,"word_count":387,"citeable":true}],"word_count":0,"character_count":0,"schema_enhanced":true,"last_schema_update":"2026-03-04 17:34:31 PST"},"media":{"images":[{"url":"\/\/8bloqs.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/4020-1284\/PLM-Blog---Careful-Mowing-Begins-Around-Weather-1742478597-640w.webp","alt":"Three images of a person in orange safety gear operating different lawn mowers on a grassy area: a sit-down mower, a stand-on mower, and a push mower.","has_alt":true,"source_bloq_id":646315,"bloq_type":"bloq-blog-details","position_in_page":0},{"url":"\/\/8bloqs.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/4020-1284\/teamorangicon-1742478836-640w.webp","alt":"Illustration of landscapers in orange uniforms trimming hedges and bushes in a suburban area, with rows of houses and green trees in the background.","has_alt":true,"source_bloq_id":646315,"bloq_type":"bloq-blog-details","position_in_page":0},{"url":"https:\/\/files.constantcontact.com\/0adea0f5101\/c0487e8c-0edc-40ae-b2d6-c1c24a650807.jpg","alt":"Lawn damage from wet mowing","has_alt":true,"source_bloq_id":646315,"bloq_type":"bloq-blog-details","position_in_page":0},{"url":"https:\/\/files.constantcontact.com\/0adea0f5101\/9f4e2906-b3f3-4ab8-9a50-661344b36390.jpg","alt":"Spring forecast","has_alt":true,"source_bloq_id":646315,"bloq_type":"bloq-blog-details","position_in_page":0}],"videos":[],"galleries":[]},"links":{"internal":[],"external":[],"navigation":[]},"entities":{"people":[],"organizations":[],"products":[],"locations":["Issaquah","WA "],"landmarks":[],"businesses":[],"events":[]},"schema_org":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":{"0":{"@type":"LandscapingBusiness","@id":"https:\/\/www.pacscape-wa.com#organization","name":"Pacscape","url":"https:\/\/www.pacscape-wa.com","description":"Pacscape delivers full landscape management for HOAs and commercial properties.
