Many times lawn mowing is overlooked for how important it is to keep the lawn healthy and looking nice. In general cutting the lawn short causes physical damage to the lawn, allows more weeds and crabgrass to grow, and increases the need for water by allowing the more evaporation.

Everyone has the idea that the Lawn needs mowing once per week. This idea is popular because of scheduling. That is fine, and it should be cut a minimum of once per week. One secret for having a better than average lawn, is to mow more often. Twice per week is great! I mow my lawn 3 times per week.

Late Summer Lawn Stress

The late Summer brings multiple problems to the turf. When cultural practices such as mowing and watering are not properly managed, the turf will get weak and will allow for turf decline and weeds to move in.

The most common problem that I see is that the grass is cut too short. Cutting too short in the Summer will definitely cause the grass to decline and weeds and insects to move in by weakening the grass. Starting in Mid to Late June the lawn should be cut at a minimum of 4 inches or the highest setting on the mower if using a push mower or ride on tractor.

These are some things that breakdown the Crabgrass and W**d control Barrier
90+ Degree days
Cutting the lawn short
Lack of water
Traffic on the lawn
Pivot marks from mowing
Localized Ozone on hot days

We are now at the point in the season where Red Thread Disease will be present in your lawn. The disease starts appearing in the Spring when the weather is getting warm and it is humid. Red Thread will grow out of the lawn over time and no treatment is needed. The turf types that are most affected are Fine Fescue and Bluegrass. The disease may affect Ryegrass when present with Fine Fescue and Bluegrass.Long-term, more Tall Fescue should be planted in the turf to help make the turf more disease resistant.
