How High Should I Cut My Grass?

Creating a great lawn is almost an art form. You need to cut your grass at the perfect length to help it not only look great, but also remain healthy. If you plan on cutting the grass yourself, you need to know a few things. First, different types of grass have different ideal lengths. Get to know your specific type of grass to help ensure you’re cutting it off at the right spot.

 

Second, never cut more than 1/3rd of the grass at a time, no matter how long your grass is now and how short you want it to be. Any shorter and you risk damaging the grass stalks and opening them up for disease.

Ideal grass height is, on average, somewhere between 2 and 3 inches.
