Lawns should be mowed on a regular schedule to maintain their health and appearance. The frequency of mowing will depend on several factors, including the type of grass in your lawn, the time of year, and the growth rate of your lawn.
In general, most lawns in the United States should be mowed once a week during the growing season, which typically runs from spring to fall. During the growing season, the grass will be actively growing and will need to be mowed more frequently to keep it at the desired height.
However, it’s important to note that the frequency of mowing may vary depending on the type of grass in your lawn. For example, cool-season grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass and fescue should be mowed more frequently, typically every 5-7 days, while warm-season grasses such as Bermuda and zoysia can be mowed less frequently, typically every 10-14 days.
Also, it’s important to adjust the mowing height according to the season, for example, in spring and summer, it’s best to keep the lawn height at 2-3 inches, but during fall it’s better to keep it higher, about 3-4 inches.
It’s always a good idea to consult with a lawn care professional or to refer to the specific instructions provided by the grass seed or sod supplier regarding the mowing schedule and height for the type of grass you have in your lawn.
