Lawn Mowing Heights by Season
Adjusting your lawn’s height by, say, an inch or so may not sound like much. But it makes a real difference in the health of your lawn.
Our recommendation for the best height to mow your lawn based on the time of year and the type of grass you have:
- Spring: mow cool-season grasses to a height of 3+ inches and cut warm-season grasses as low as half an inch and up to 1.5 inches
- Summer: mow your cool-season grass to 3 or 3.5 inches in summer, or up to 4 inches for tall fescue and perennial ryegrass. Warm-season grasses should round out at about 2 to 2.5 inches
- Fall: Shorten your cool-season grass to about 2.5 inches before the first frost in winter. Mow warm-season grasses to 1.5 or 2 inches in fall
Different grass types have different needs, so you’ll want to make sure you’re catering to your unique type when you mow.
>> Here’s how to tell if you have cool-season grasses or warm-season grasses.
