How to Properly Mow Your Lawn | For Cool Season Grasses Like Bluegrass and Fescue

Описание: Mowing your lawn correctly is one of the simplest ways to improve turf health, reduce weeds, and build deeper roots. In this video, we explain how proper mowing height and technique can make a major difference in the appearance and resilience of your lawn.

You’ll learn:
• Why mowing your lawn at 3 inches or taller improves root growth
• How taller grass shades the soil and reduces water evaporation
• Why mowing too short can lead to thinner turf and more weeds
• The one-third rule for reducing lawn stress
• Why mulching clippings returns nutrients back to the soil
• How sharp mower blades improve lawn health and disease resistance

Cool season grasses like bluegrass and fescue thrive when maintained at a taller mowing height, typically between 2.5 to 3.5 inches, which helps promote deeper root systems and improved drought tolerance. Taller grass also shades the soil, helping suppress weed germination and reduce moisture loss.

Small changes in mowing practices can lead to thicker turf, better color, reduced watering needs, and improved resistance to heat stress and disease.
