Select Optimal Cutting Height for Health

What happens here

Adopt a strategy of mowing at a higher setting, ideally between 4 and 5 inches. The speaker specifically recommends 4 to 4.5 inches for his lawn. This taller grass provides several benefits: it encourages deeper root systems, helps the soil retain moisture, shades out weed seeds to prevent germination, and makes the grass more resilient during hot summer months. Avoid cutting too short, as this stresses the grass and can lead to browning and weed proliferation.

Goal: Choose a higher cutting height, typically between 4 to 5 inches, to promote root growth, retain soil moisture, and naturally suppress weeds for overall lawn health.
