My neighbors grass is about eight inches long; is there anything I can do?

Bartlett, Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
If your neighbor does not respond to your concerns, contact the Village Hall. Village Code prohibits residents from allowing their grass or weeds to grow to exceed a maximum height of eight inches. The neighbor will be contacted and warned of his violation. If the violation continues, the lawn will be mowed and a bill will be sent to the violator.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
