How Often Should I Mow My Lawn?  (And Why It Matters) Introduction Many homeowners wonder,  “How often should I mow my lawn?”  The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. Mowing frequency affects grass health, weed prevention, and the long-term appearance of your lawn. Cut too often, and you weaken the grass. Cut too little, and your lawn becomes overgrown, patchy, and more prone to pests and disease. The key is to mow often enough to keep your lawn healthy while avoiding common mowing mistakes. Here’s how to find the best mowing schedule based on grass type, season, and growth conditions.

Myth #2: You Should Dethatch Right Away in Spring Dethatching can be beneficial, but doing it too early in the season can rip up tender new grass ...
