Do you cut your grass short, or do you like to keep it long? Well, in either case, we’re not here to judge you. The best way to maintain your lawn depends on your property’s unique circumstances. The type of grass, the season’s weather, and your homeowners association or city regulations will likely play a big part in your decisions.
However, there are some general concepts to keep in mind when it comes to keeping your grass in good condition. First, overgrown grass can be attractive to insects and unwanted pests like rodents or snakes. Then, when it is mowed, unless you have the proper equipment, the cut grass will lay on top of your lawn, killing the grass underneath it.
The alternative can bring some issues as well. Cutting your grass too frequently or too short encourages your grass to grow shallow roots, which can make it more vulnerable to heat and drought. All said and done, it’s typically best to have a moderate, regular routine of lawn mowing to have healthy grass.
