In this video, I talk through one of the biggest questions in lawn care: what height should you actually cut your grass?
A lot of people want that short, tidy, golf-course style lawn, but there’s one simple rule you need to understand first:
The lower you cut your lawn, the more often you need to mow it.
If you cut your grass short but only mow once every week or two, you can quickly end up stressing the lawn, taking too much off at once, and making it look worse instead of better. But if you want an easier, lower-maintenance lawn, cutting slightly longer can make a massive difference.
In this video, I cover:
- How short or long you should cut your lawn
- Why mowing frequency matters more than most people think
- The difference between a short lawn and a longer lawn
- Why cutting too low can stress your grass
- How to keep your lawn looking tidy without overcomplicating it
- The simple mowing rule I’d follow for most UK lawns this summer
Whether you’re cutting with a rotary mower, cylinder mower, or just trying to keep your lawn looking neat through summer, this should help you choose the right mowing height for your lawn.
