Stringey grass ends?

Just wondered if anyone knows why the ends of the grass blades are stringey? And how to fix it?

Thanks
Steve

 

What sort of mower do you have, It looks to me it needs sharpening.

 

I thought that so i sharpen it and still the same so i brought a new blade and still the same. Been like it for 3 years, since we moved here. didn't have this problem at last house

 

Hmm no easy fix then, lets hope one of our grass/lawn experts happens by.

 

I had this problem last year. The heat was too much for the grass and surprisingly the roots to handle. I would try some lawn feed. if it does not pick up i would cut it and place some new seed down.

 

Its definitely a bad mower, you can see where its shredded the grass but not cut it cleanly.

Maybe you have coarse grass, but a good mower would still cut it clean.

Is it electric?

 

Been feeding it since we moved in and its the same in a part that is shadded from the sun both front and back lawns are the same. Thanks for all your help

 

Yes its electric, i had a great looking lawn in last house and only since we have moved had this problem. I've tried sharpening the blade but that made no difference so i brought a new blade and that made no difference

 

Well it looks a bit long to me.

Electric mowers are ok for a light trim, but I cant help thinking you need something with a bit more oooommpfff.

 

Ive since invested in a new lawn mower and problem solved, now to get rid of all the weeds and level it
