Reel Mowing — The Augusta Standard

Rotary mowers rip grass blades with blunt-force impact. Reel mowers shear each blade clean, like scissors, at heights rotary decks can’t touch. Getting that real Augusta-style density means mowing more often — reel mowers take off less per pass, so 2 to 3 cuts a week is standard for the full course look. Prefer lower maintenance? A weekly schedule still gets you the healthier, denser cut, just built up more gradually.
