When can I mow my grass and how high; and do I need a special mower?

FAQ's Bermuda Grasses
You can generally start mowing 3-4 weeks after seeding your Bermuda lawn. Occasionally if growth is rampant, you may need to mow within 2 weeks after planting. Thereafter, mowing will be required in a range of 3 to 7 days depending on various factors. Bermudas are mowed from around 3/8 inch to 1 & 1/2 inches in height. Lower mowings require more frequent mowing. Height below around 1 inch may require a "reel" type mower to prevent scalping. See similar questions...

How high should I mow my grass?

Common Lawn Questions -
You should mow the grass at the highest setting on your mower or at least 3 inches. Each time you mow, you should cut no more than 1/3 of the grass height. Note: There are exceptions for some warm season grasses such as bermuda centipede, and bentgrass that grow more dense at lower mower settings. See similar questions...

Do I need to mow my grass as often in the spring as in the fall?

Johnson Irrigation - Montreal's sprinkler and lighting contr...
No. Mowing frequency varies by the season. In the spring, established lawns should be mown as soon as the grass greens and begins to grow. In the summer, close mowing (especially during hot weather) can weaken some grass varieties. As autumn approaches, cool-season grasses begin to grow faster and produce more clippings. Conversely, warm-season grasses begin to slow down. Adjust your mowing habits accordingly. See similar questions...

How often should I mow my grass?

Frequently Asked Questions
Aim to mow your lawn on 4- or 5-day intervals while it is growing most rapidly during the summer. That way you'll not remove more than one-third of its growth at any given time. Letting the grass grow taller weakens it. White grub worms (larval form of June beetles) devour turf roots (both bermuda and St. Augustine) leaving the grass dead and lifeless on top of the soil. Their prime season of activity starts 6 weeks after the major June beetle flight in early summer and continues until frost. See similar questions...

Q: How high should I mow?

Agro Lawn FAQ page
Mowing heights vary depending on the dominant grasses in each lawn. As a rule of thumb Tall Fescues should be kept between 3-3 1/2", Bluegrasses should be kept at 2 1/2" and Zoysia should be kept at 1 1/2". These heights should be maintained throughout the growing season. Be careful not to let the lawn get so high that you cut off more than 1/3 of the plant when you mow. This can damage the plant and open it up for disease. See similar questions...

How low should I mow my grass?

Johnson Irrigation - Montreal's sprinkler and lighting contr...
Optimum grass height varies by region - and by grass type. For example, creeping bentgrass spreads by stolons and should be mown below a 1/2 inch. In fact, if you mow this grass variety too high, it may develop thatch problems. Conversely, Canada bluegrass won't tolerate close cuttings and needs to be kept above 2-1/2 inches in order to survive. Here are some general mowing guidelines for many of today's most popular grass varieties: Recommended Mowing Heights See similar questions...

When does Gate of Heaven Cemetery mow the grass and trim the markers?

Gate of Heaven
We typically mow the lawn weekly. We are sometimes able to cut it twice in one week during the heavy growing season. We usually trim markers six times during the growing season. Families are welcome to trim their markers more often if they wish, provided they take care not to disturb the soil. Soil disruption allows for weed seeds to take root and grow.

Why does my grass develop yellow patches after I mow?

Johnson Irrigation - Montreal's sprinkler and lighting contr...
Improper mowing is probably the cause. You’re probably removing too much of the grass leaf at each mowing. You should either mow more frequently so you never remove more than one third of the leaf blade, or you need to level out your yard’s high spots because the mower is cutting too low as it goes over bumps. You’re looking a common lawn problem: iron deficiency. Usually, you’ll find this condition in soils with high pH. See similar questions...

what length should the grass be cut the last time we mow in the fall?

lawn care
We recommend cutting at the same length as it has been mowed all through the year. If we cut it real short and have an open winter we have more chances of winter damage. If we leave it long and we have a slow melt in the spring, snow mold will be a greater problem. See similar questions...
