Knowing How Often You Should Cut Your Lawn

Regardless of whether you are the kind of person who loves working in your yard and wants to be out there all the time or are the kind of person who wants to spend as little time working in your yard as possible, there is one question you have probably wondered at one time or another: How often should I cut my lawn? If you do hate working in the yard, the answer to the question is not likely to make you thrilled, as you should cut your lawn "often"; but if you are the kind of person who loves working in your yard, "often" might not be quite as often as you think.

The health of your grass will be largely dependent on how frequently you cut your grass, as it will need regular trimming in order to be healthy and will also need to be kept at a certain, ideal height in order for it to thrive. As far as exactly what cutting your grass "often" means, the basic rule of thumb is that you should cut your grass no more frequently than once every seven days, and you should cut it no more infrequently than once every ten days!

Although this might sound like an excessive amount of work, you will actually save time in the long run by mowing every seven to ten days, as this will keep your lawn from growing so tall that mowing becomes a difficult task, and will also keep your lawn healthier - which means you will need to spend less time trying to rescue it. You will also find (especially if you mow your lawn on a specific day every weekend) that you will get into a routine with your lawn, and when this happens, things will become a whole lot easier.

When you mow your lawn in this manner, you will be able to experience the rewards of a healthy lawn - without wondering if you are cutting your lawn frequently enough!
