Mower Blade Height Secrets

Most people murder their grass without knowing it. Your mower blade height is crucial.

Cool season grasses need 3-4 inches in summer to shade roots and survive

heat stress. Warm season grasses like Bermuda prefer 1-2 inches, as they love

direct sun exposure. But here's a secret: never cut more than one third

of the blade length at once. Over-cutting shocks the plant, forcing it into

survival mode. It stops growing roots. The grass blade is its solar

panel. You're cutting off its power source. Don't do it!
