Discuss mowing considerations for both cool-season and warm-season grasses
What mistakes do homeowners typically make when mowing the lawn?
What will be an ideal response?
Cool-season grasses should not be cut shorter than 2 to 3 inches, while warm-season
grasses are cut shorter, from ½ to 1¼ inches, depending upon the grass variety. Because
warm-season grasses grow rapidly during warm weather, they are better able to
compete with weeds growing during the same season. Bermuda grass should be clipped
to ½ to 1 inch and zoysia ¾ to 1¼ inches. Lawns should be mowed often enough so that no more than one-third of the top is cut off in any one mowing. A common mistake
among homeowners is to cut the grass too short, which prevents the plant from making
enough food.
