No. Improper water and fertilizing can lead to turfgrass disease. How often should I mulch mow my yard? You should mow often enough that you never remove more than one-third of the lawn height. You may need to mow about every five to ten days depending on how fast your lawn grows. Recommended Mowing Heights for Lawns: • Kentucky bluegrass: 1.5 to 2.5 inches • Tall fescue: 2 to 3 inches • Perennial ryegrass: 1.5 to 2.5 inches • Bermudagrass: 0.5 to 1 inch • Zoysiagrass: 0.5 to 1 inch • St. Augustinegrass: 1.5 to 2.
