We love to Mow High: May, June, July. Although, when we head into Winter, we want to gradually take that mowing height down. View our last blog on Mulching Leaves on Your Lawn to learn about leaf management. Here, I’ll be covering the basics of mowing in the Fall (Late-September through October).

When we say “gradually reduce mowing height”, we mean: don’t cut more than more than 1/3 of the blade at a time. Cutting the grass too short can weaken the turf and make it more susceptible to stress, diseases, and weeds. If your grass is too long, plan to get it to your goal height with a couple of mows and then maintain.
