Each season has its own rhythm, like a playlist for your yard. In spring, you can cut every 5–7 days because the grass is basically caffeinated with growth hormones.
By summer, slow down to every 10–14 days. Raise your mower deck to the tallest setting—your lawn will thank you by staying green while your neighbor’s turns brown.
Fall is the true power hour. The grass grows fast again, and you want to lower the blade slightly for the final cut. This prevents snow mold and makes winter cleanup easier.
Fun fact: Japanese gardeners practice Karikomi, where they carefully shape grass into spheres and waves. You don’t have to that—but you can borrow the philosophy of intention over speed.
