How Close/ Often do you cut your Grass/ Lawn? Is it healthy OR Thatchy?

I keep it at 2.5 inches, which is in the recommended height range (2.5 – 3.5 in) for a healthy lawn.

So much of it depends on where you live and what kind of grass you have. Where I live, we are looking at the snow on the grass at the moment. During the season, I only cut off the top ⅓ when mowing and the frequency of mowing depends on the amount of rain (i.e., the amount of growth) the lawn gets. I have a blue fescue mix. I aerate it in the spring and fertilize it in the spring and fall. I also treat for broadleaf weeds. I haven’t had to de-thatch it.

In the Spring and Summer we have a service that cuts it. It is usually healthy.

In the summer. Every week.

In the winter. Every month.

Twice a month? I mow it when I get to it, at the highest setting on the mower. Probably once a month most of the year, twice a month or weekly in the spring, if I can. I also start mowing later in the spring and stop sooner in the summer than my neighbors.

My building’s gardeners cut the lawn once a month from April to October/November and leave it be over the winter.

I never cut it, it’s to prickly when it grows back.

@XOIIO And what kind of Grass do you have?

Oh that kind of grass. Not “grass”. Nevermind.

the big stemmed stuff that you can’t kill and mows like crap. that one kind that’s prickly!

@XOIIO – when I read this question, I thought it was “grass” too. :P

I have no idea! It is always a perfect length.. We have a gardener, but I never hear the lawn lower! Weird.

@Violet ; I could be your Gardener… I have a quiet lawnmower that clients go “Wow! you were just here, I didn’t hear you cut the grass and blow…

@Violet
When my crew comes I can’t hear the TV till their done or talk on the phone. Consider yourself fortunate.

Yeh- the “Hummmmmmmm” of several blowers, weedwackers and other things from the “Mow and Bow” crews!

I am sorry I can’t find anyone who does a decent job anymore. I pay a lot and they do a lousy job .

I giess your gonna have to move to the East Bay in California like Castro Valley, Oakland or Berkeley. Then I can do your yard and you will have to check the green can to tell I have been by…

I have a friend who use to live in San Jose. Our property taxes are bad . Yours and New Jersey are the worst in the country. I live in New York.
California is beautiful but despite your climate Earthquakes frighten me. My friend survived one in 1989 . I saw it on TV . The Baseball game was on.
My friend stood in the doorway in his home. While the house fell a part around him.
I wish I could hire you.
They will not even cut my brushes or trees.

@phil196662 that would be great!!
@philosopher my guy must wait a street away, and waits for me to leave, because I never see/hear him!

@Violet
That is actually funny.
Seriously Violet I am happy to see you here.

@philosopher awww, thank you. You are so sweet
