Question: How much grass should I cut when I mow?

Answer: Never remove more than 1/3 of your grass height when you mow. Cutting the lawn too low can severely limit its ability to manufacture food and resist weed invasion.

Question: Can I leave grass too tall?

Answer: Grass that's too tall can promote thatch build up, encouraging insect and disease damage.

Question: How often should I mow my lawn?

Answer: Mow frequently enough that only a small portion of green leaf is lost at any one clipping- ideally once a week so that no more than 1/3 of the leaf blade is removed.

Question: What happens if I mow the lawn too short?

Answer: The lower portion of the grass is exposed to the sun and this bums it. If this happens too often the grass reacts by developing shallow roots. Shallow rooted lawns are prone to disease and weed problems and can eventually die.
