Once the root system of your new lawn attaches to the soil, you may begin a regular mowing schedule. Proper mowing height is dependent on the overall height of your grass. A good rule to follow is to never cut more than 1/3 of the leaf blade at a time. Allowing your grass to grow for long periods of time and then chopping it off will damage the leaf blades. Our recommendation is to mow regularly and keep the grass around an inch in height. If you want to reduce your mowing schedule, raise your mower height up and lower your nutrient level down. For a highly manicured look you will want to lower your mower height, fertilize often and mow often.
