Q:Will it damage my bermuda lawn if I mow it when it has turned brown? I just want to clean it up a little.

A: Mowing your lawn high once or twice in winter is a good way to clean up leaves and cut down any winter weeds that have sprouted. Do your very best not to repeat the same mowing pattern. Winter soil is often soggy and it is easy to compact. Weeds are much more likely to thrive in compacted soil than in soft soil.
