Optimal Lawn Mowing Schedule

Maintaining the right mowing timing promotes a healthy, dense, and pest-resistant lawn throughout the seasons.

Proper timing for lawn mowings ensures a healthy, attractive lawn. The optimal mowing schedule depends on grass type, growth rate, and seasonal conditions. Regular mowing encourages dense growth and prevents pests and weeds from establishing.

Spring Mowing

Begin mowing when grass starts actively growing, typically when it reaches about 3 inches. Regular mowing promotes healthy growth and prepares the lawn for summer.

Summer Mowing

Maintain a height of 2.5 to 3 inches during peak growing months. Frequent mowing prevents heat stress and discourages pests.

Fall Mowing

Gradually reduce mowing frequency as growth slows. Keeping grass at a consistent height helps protect roots during winter.

Winter Considerations

Mowing is generally not necessary when grass is dormant. Avoid mowing during frost or when the ground is wet to prevent damage.
