General rule of thumb for Bermuda grass: if it’s green before you cut it, it should be green after you cut it.
Mowing frequency determines your mowing height. If you were gonna mow the lawn every two weeks like this client, then it is important to raise the height of your mowing deck accordingly. This will keep the lawn lush and green throughout the entire summer.
This is because only the top third of Bermuda grass is green. Bermuda grass is designed to be mowed every 3 to 5 days but in a residential situation that is not practical for most homeowners. So, raising the height throughout the growing season will give you the same results as a golf course with just higher turf.
