The frequency of mowing your lawn depends on the grass growth rate, season, and type of grass, but generally:
- During the growing season, mowing once a week is usually sufficient to keep the lawn healthy and neat
- In spring and autumn, mow about once a week to every 10 days, allowing grass to recover between cuts
- In summer, when growth is fastest, mowing twice a week may be necessary, especially for warm-season grasses
- During drought or dry periods, reduce mowing frequency and raise the mower height to conserve moisture
- In winter or dormant seasons, mowing is rarely needed and can be done occasionally on a high cut setting if grass continues to grow
- Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade at a time to prevent stressing the lawn
In summary, a typical mowing schedule is weekly during active growth, less often during slow growth or dormancy, and more frequent in peak growth periods like summer
. Adjust based on your local climate, grass type, and lawn condition.
