✂️ The 1/3 Rule: One of the Most Important Lawn Care Tips
Did you know you should never remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade in a single mowing?
Cutting too much at once can:
🚫 Stress your lawn
🚫 Weaken root growth
🚫 Cause brown or scalped patches
🚫 Make your lawn more vulnerable to heat and drought
✅ Following the 1/3 rule helps maintain a healthier, greener lawn with stronger roots and more consistent growth.
For example, if your grass is 4.5 inches tall, you should only remove about 1.5 inches during that mowing session.
Regular mowing isn’t just about appearance—it’s about keeping your lawn healthy all season long.
