3", and I'm cutting it every 3-4 days.
Really it is suppose to depend on the type of grass, rain fall etc. One inportant consideration most people dont think about is the taller they cut the grass the fewer weeds that grow. Many companies recommending mowing a 3.5 or 4 nowdays.
ooops sorry. If it makes you feel any better I still usually mow mine at 3 cause I am too lazy to mow more often.
I don't understand? What does height have to do with the amount of times you mow. You typically cut about the same off every time. Grass grows at the same speed whether it is one inch or six inches.
I can let it grow a couple of inches if I cut it at three. If I cut it at 4 and it grows a couple of inches it looks really shaggy and turns to seed. I dunno, I probably could get away with mowing at 4 all the time.
You are not supposed to cut more than an inch off of it at a time from what I read in the past.
That works for me. I started out cutting at 4 1/2 this season but have now backed down to 4 inches. It looks healthier at that cut, and it does not clump near as often. Since I don't fertilize I have some areas that grow faster than the rest of the yard, and the grass is thicker in those areas. Cutting higher the mower does not throw out clumps of grass so it looks much better.4". The higher the better for your lawn. The taller grass keeps itself cooler and does not dry out as easy and weeds germinating don't have as easy of a chance.
