How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn?

Most homeowners mow on a calendar. The healthiest lawns are mowed on a rhythm that follows how fast the grass is actually growing, which changes with the season, the weather, and how much you water and feed.

Never remove more than one-third of the grass blade in a single cut. Cutting too much at once stresses the plant, invites weeds, and leaves the lawn looking scalped and brown.

In peak growing season that usually means mowing weekly. In slower months, every ten to fourteen days is often plenty.

Taller grass grows deeper roots, shades out weeds, and holds moisture better. For most warm-season lawns, keeping the mower a notch or two higher than you think is the right move — especially heading into the heat of summer.

A dull blade tears grass instead of cutting it cleanly, leaving ragged, browning tips that stress the whole lawn. A sharp blade is one of the cheapest upgrades you can make.
