Have you ever wondered when the best time to cut your grass is?
Have you ever wondered when the best time to cut your grass is? Timing is key when it comes to maintaining a healthy lawn, and as the grass cutting season arrives, it’s important to understand when and how often to mow for the best results. Cutting your grass at the right time of year encourages strong growth, prevents weed infestations, and keeps your garden looking lush and vibrant.
If you’d rather leave the hard work to a professional gardener, our Grounds and Garden Maintenance Services include garden strimming and a reliable lawn mowing service, keeping your lawn neat and healthy all season long.
1) When is the Best Time of Year to Cut Your Grass?
Knowing when to start and how often to mow your lawn throughout the year is crucial for keeping it in top condition. Here’s a seasonal breakdown to help you time your mowing routine perfectly:
📌 Spring (March – May)
This is the start of the grass cutting season, as temperatures begin to rise and grass starts growing again.
Begin with a light mow at a higher setting to avoid stressing the grass.
Gradually increase mowing frequency as the growth rate picks up.
📌 Summer (June – August)
During peak growing months, mow at least once a week (or more often if needed).
Keep your grass slightly longer during hot, dry spells to protect the soil from drying out.
Consider using a grass cutting service to maintain a healthy, even lawn during busy summer months.
📌 Autumn (September – November)
As growth slows down, reduce mowing frequency to every two weeks.
Start raising the mower height to help the grass prepare for winter.
This is also an ideal time for lawn care maintenance, such as aeration and overseeding.
📌 Winter (December – February)
Grass growth stops or slows significantly in winter.
Mowing is rarely necessary, but if there’s a mild spell, you can do an occasional trim on a dry day.
Avoid mowing when the ground is frosty or waterlogged, as this can damage the grass.
By following these seasonal guidelines, you’ll ensure your lawn stays healthy and resilient all year round. If you need expert help, our Lawn Care Services provide professional lawn restoration and revitalisation to keep your grass in peak condition.
2) Check Your Equipment
Before your first mow of the season, inspect your lawnmower and tools. Ensure the mower blades are sharp, the engine is in good working order, and that you're using the right height setting for early-season mowing.

3) Mow at the Right Height
One of the most common mistakes in garden maintenance is cutting the grass too short. Keeping your grass at around 2.5 to 3 inches will encourage stronger roots and prevent weeds from taking hold. Lowering the height gradually throughout the season will keep your lawn looking its best.
For those who prefer a grass cutting service, our team ensures your lawn is mowed at the optimal height for healthy, long-lasting growth.
4) Lawn Restoration & Revitalisation: Is Your Lawn Looking Tired?
If your lawn is patchy, uneven, or struggling to grow, simple mowing might not be enough. Our Lawn Care Service specialises in lawn restoration and revitalisation, bringing tired lawns back to life with aeration, overseeding, and fertilisation.
📌 Lawn care maintenance includes:
✔ Aeration to improve soil health
✔ Overseeding to fill in bald spots
✔ Specialist treatments for a greener, healthier lawn

5) Keep Weeds Under Control.
Regular mowing helps prevent weeds, but for long-term control, targeted treatments are needed. If your lawn is being overtaken by dandelions, moss, or clover, our Weed Control Services can help eliminate them effectively while protecting your grass.
A professional gardening service can ensure your lawn remains weed-free while keeping it looking lush and vibrant.
6) Regular Maintenance for a Beautiful Lawn All Year Round
Mowing is just one part of keeping a lawn in top shape. To keep your grass lush and green, don’t forget:
Mulching grass clippings for extra nutrients
Fertilising to encourage healthy growth
Watering deeply during dry spells
Our full range of Garden Maintenance Services ensures your lawn receives the care it needs, from seasonal treatments to regular lawn care maintenance. Whether you need a gardener to handle the work or a full-scale gardening service, we’ve got you covered.
Conclusion
The grass cutting season is here, and whether you prefer DIY lawn care or want expert help, now is the time to act. By following these simple steps, you’ll have a healthy, green lawn all summer long.
