What are some tips for mowing?
A. Avoid cutting too short. Chopping off more than one-third of a grass blade’s height at once can be detrimental. For example, if you want a 3-inch mowed height, mow when the grass is just over 4 inches tall. Avoid cutting below the green leaf blades into the brown grass stems, which weakens the grass plants and leaves it vulnerable to aggressive weeds or pests. See the table on Recommended Mowing Heights in the YardWise Mowing section for the ideal height for your type.
