MOWING TIPS
When to Mow
Most grasses should be mowed 
when they have grown 1/2 to 1 
inch above their recommended 
height.
More frequent mowing is required for mulching than for bagging. For 
best results, you may need to mow the lawn twice a week during the 
growing season.
Cutting Height
Consult a local nursery or lawn 
and garden center for cutting 
height recommendations and 
advice about specific types of 
grasses and growing conditions in 
your area.
If you look closely, you’ll see that 
most grass has stems and leaves. 
If you cut off the leaves, you’ll 
scalp the lawn. Let the grass 
recover between mowings. Your 
mower will work better, and your 
lawn will look better.
If your grass gets too tall, cut it once at the highest cutting height 
setting, then mow again in 2 or 3 days. Don’t take off more than one 
third of total grass height in any one mowing, or brown patches may 
develop.
Cutting height adjustment is explained on page 15.
Cutting Width
For an even lawn finish, overlap each mowing swath by a few inches. If 
the grass is very tall or thick, use more overlap and a narrower mowing 
swath.
LONG ENOUGH
TOO SHORT
