@mom2four0418 , the issue is not so much the mowing but when he trims...sorry if I was not clear....the mowing does leave a mess but I think most of it is from trimming around the sidewalk and flower beds.

DH just needs to blow the grass is a different direction.  I only need to use my blower if the grass is long.  Maybe he needs to mow more often or the mower deck is set too low?

The easiest option for picking up grass is having a bagger on the mower or even having a mulching mower.

I know what you mean -- I hate that also.  DH's riding mowing used to have a thing attached to it that would catch all the grass cuttings and then you would empty it out, but it wore out.  Now he mows and grass cuttings get thrown every where.  I have a blower thing but it is heavy and tedious.  I love summer but hate the work!

Grass clippings should be left on the lawn so when they disintegrate, they keep feeding the lawn.

@JustJazzmom ...the issue is not grass in the yard....he seems to get clippings everywhere, in my flower beds, around the stones near our pond, etc.

@Mom2Dogs I understand. It’s a shame the clippings don’t lay where the grass is.

@Mom2Dogs , the short answer is you have to convince your DH not to clip or trim into the beds.  I do the trimming here and it can be done.  DH mows the grass blowing away from the beds as I give me he11 if he doesn’t😲. I realize that some DHs are easier to train than other.  Good luck!  LM

Yes. The Worx brand is great.

@Lilysmom ...I have been trying to retrain him....lately it has been hit or miss.

Clippings will lay on the grass if a mulching blade is used.
