Summer is a vibrant, growing season for lawns across Inner West Sydney, but it can also be a tricky time for homeowners. Hot weather, intense sun, and rapid grass growth combine to create conditions where mistakes like lawn scalping are all too common. Scalping occurs when grass is cut too short, exposing the soil and damaging roots, which can leave your lawn looking patchy, stressed, and vulnerable to weeds and disease. At Bizzy Mowing, we’ve spent years helping Sydney homeowners maintain lush, healthy lawns. In this guide, we’ll explore how to prevent lawn scalping, how to repair scalped lawns, and provide tips specifically tailored to summer lawn care in the Inner West.
