What is the proper mowing height for my lawn?
The proper mowing height of your lawn is 3″ – 3.5″. It is more beneficial for your lawn to be cut this way. It will require fewer nutrients and water because its allowing it to shade itself form the stresses summer heat can dish out. Try not to remove more than one third of the grass blade at one time. If your lawn was meant to be cut short it would on the green of a golf course. You will only cause more problems if you cut too short like the need for additional fertilizer and care with greater potential of weed invasion.
