The mower height is adjustable for a good reason. When you cut your grass, your mower height should be between 2 1/2 -3″ for the whole year, except during the last cut of the season, when the blade should be at 1 1/3″. This helps keep your grass healthy during the winter by reducing snow mold and matting.

Mow the most often during the spring, when the grass is growing quickly. Even if your grass is high, you should never cut more than 1/3 of the grass blade at once. You shouldn’t mow when it’s very wet or hot outside.

Your blades should be sharpened by a specialist at least three times a year, especially if you live in an area that gets a lot of rain and therefore a lot of growth. A sharp blade means a deeper green color and clean cut.

That’s called scalping. It should be avoided because it can make your grass thin out, lose color, and introduce more weeds and crabgrass. If a lawn is scalped during the hot summer, it will look yellow and burned out.If your lawn is mowed properly, it will be healthier, have a deeper color, be more resistant to disease and insects, and be less likely to be taken over by weeds.
