Mowing Height: The Easiest Way to a Better Lawn

Why taller grass is often healthier grass.

Follow the one-third rule

Never cut more than a third of the blade at once. Scalping stresses the grass.

Mow higher in summer

Taller grass shades the soil, holds moisture and crowds out weeds.

Keep blades sharp

Dull blades tear grass and leave brown tips. Sharpen at least once a season.
