Mulched grass clippings improve soil structure by adding organic matter, which enhances the soil’s water absorption by up to 12%. This means less water is needed to keep your lawn healthy, making mulching a great choice in areas with water restrictions. Toro mowers with Vortex Technology increase airflow to the deck, ensuring clippings decompose quickly and effectively.

Mulching with Toro’s Recycler® Technology creates a natural barrier that helps prevent weed seeds from reaching the soil, reducing the chances of weed growth. Regular mulching also promotes thicker, healthier grass, which can outcompete weeds, further minimizing their spread​.

NOTE: If your lawn already has large sections of weeds, mulching could inadvertently spread weed seeds. In such cases, it’s better to bag the clippings to avoid spreading those weeds to other areas. Once the weeds are under control, you can return to mulching to promote a healthier lawn​.

Mulching mowers, like those from Toro, help recycle grass clippings back into your lawn, providing nutrients and reducing the need for fertilizer. Studies show that mulched clippings can reduce nitrogen fertilizer usage by up to 50% since the nitrogen from the clippings is slowly released back into the soil. Toro’s Recycler® Technology finely chops the grass, creating “Lawn Vitamins” that naturally enrich your lawn’s soil​.
