Grass Height

Many home owners don’t really pay attention that much as to when they should cut their lawns or at which height they should cut it. With that being said, it is hard to find that perfect height so that you don’t cut the grass to short or go the opposite and not cut enough of the grass. There are some reasons why you don’t want to cut your lawn to short. The first reason is that it gives to a higher chance of scalping your lawn. Scalping your lawn is when the blade hits the bottom of your lawn giving your lawn a bald look. Also if you cut your lawn to short it will be more susceptible to get burned out from the sun and droughts. The first reason why you don’t want to leave the grass on your lawn to long is that it gives a better chance for your lawn to get weeds. Another reason is that if you have a tendency to keep your grass long you may begin to cut it less and less often and at some point in time your lawn just might get a little too out of control for you to keep up with. So when you are determining at which height you are going to cut your grass at remember that not only are your personal preferences a factor but that there are some legitimate reasons why you shouldn’t cut your lawn to short or not cut that much off of your lawn.
