whats a good cutting height??
Spring: 3 to 3.5 inches. This height encourages deep root growth and helps the grass recover from winter dormancy while shading out weeds.
Summer: 3.5 to 4 inches. A taller cut helps shade the soil, retain moisture, and reduce heat stress during warmer months.
Fall: 3 to 3.5 inches. Maintain a slightly shorter height to promote air circulation and reduce disease risk as temperatures cool.
Winter: 2.5 to 3 inches (if mowing is needed). A shorter cut before dormancy minimizes matting and fungal issues, but avoid scalping.
Always follow the "one-third rule": never remove more than one-third of the grass blade at a time to avoid stress. Adjust based on local climate, soil conditions, and grass health. For precise recommendations, check with your local cooperative extension service.
