Lawn Care Secrets: Cut Height

Most people destroy their lawn by cutting grass too short. But here's a

secret nobody tells you about lawn care. I learned this after accidentally killing

three lawns myself! Different grass types need different heights to truly thrive. Cool season grasses

like fescue prefer three to four inches. Warm season types like Bermuda?

One to two inches is perfect. The real surprise? My mower was cutting lower than

its setting! I measured with a ruler and couldn't believe the difference.

I had been unknowingly scalping my lawn for months. Always verify your actual cut height

with a ruler, not just the setting. This simple check saved my lawn
