Planting seeds grass is a great way to start or clog the lawn to revitalize or cover naked spots. You don’t want to mow too early or you will destroy the grass. But if you wait for too long, the lawn becomes undeveloped.
Keep your new shaded grass healthy and untouched and learn when mowing the lawn after the seed with the help of lawn care experts.
When mowing the seed for the lawn
You will know that time is to mow a new sown turf when the grass grows 3 to 4 inches high, recommended by Green Pal co-founder of the Caballero genene.
The love of lawn The Director General of Steve Corcoran agrees with the length method, but suggests and looking into the proportion:
“I find it better to wait to mow the seed lawn when using the height of the grass as a decisive factor, no time,” Corcoran says. “Ideally, you should wait to mow until the knives are grassed one third higher than the recommended height.”

Height for mowing newlyed grass
Depending on the type of grass seed, cut the lawn when it reaches between 3 and 6 inches. Cut the grass up to a height between 2 and 4 inches.
“Time time is different from the types of grass from cold varieties, such as fescue and rye, develop faster than hot-season grasses, like Bermuda and Zoysia,” says Corcoran and Zoysia.
Grass | When you mow | Completive height |
Bermuda grass | 3 to 4 inches | 2 to 2-1 / 2 inches |
Centipede Grass | 3 to 4 inches | 2 to 2-1 / 2 inches |
Fine fescue grass | 4 to 6 inches | 3 to 4 inches |
Kentucky Bluegrass | 4 to 6 inches | 3 to 4 inches |
St. Augustine Grass | 3 to 4 inches | 2 to 2-1 / 2 inches |
Multi-annual expansion | 4 to 6 inches | 3 to 4 inches |
High grass | 4 to 6 inches | 3 to 4 inches |
Zoysia grass | 3 to 4 inches | 2 to 2-1 / 2 inches |
How long have you been waiting to mow the new lawn
If the conditions are favorable, generally lasts between four to six weeks for a new grass to reach its recommended skin height.
“Environmental factors can affect how much time it takes to grow grass,” Corcoran says. “Because different grass varieties have different ideal heights, I think it is best to use the length of length, not waiting for a certain amount of time.”
Why should you avoid mowing before
Mowing of new days of lawn is too damaged by grass and soil.
- Knife stresses: The intersection of too many lawns, too early, emphasizes the blades of leaves, damaging them.
- It hurts roots: “Premature cutting will damage young roots,” says Caballero. Once the roots are damaged, they may not return.
- Removes seeds: Sensitive grass seeds, it is still not rooted, can be kicked and removed by mowing too soon.
- Thrupi soil: Loose ground that contains grass seeds can be routed or monitored by mowers mowers. Only when the roots are beginning to establish, the soil will be strong enough to support the wheel mowers.
How to safely reduce the new lawn
Look for the right signs to know when you mow the lawn after the seed and cut the lawn the right path safely – with care.
“Instead of following the schedule, I would pay attention to a unique growth and made sure that he was strong enough to continue to move,” says Caballero.
- Check the height: Keep the shortest grass blades with one hand and measure with the ribbon measure. They should be anywhere from 3 to 6 inches.
- Check the proportion: Also be sure that the grass is about one third higher than the recommended length for a certain type of grass.
- Cut when dried: Avoid cutting newspaper lawns or any lawns – when wet, because it emphasizes the grass.
- Cut at the best time: The best time of the day to cut the lawn is in the summer 8:30 and 13:00. Before and after summer, wait until about 10:30 to start mowing.
- Use a sharp cutter mower: Sharpen the mower blade or fit into a new blade.
- Mount towel: Steve Corcoran recommends using high containers. This forces to reduce more than one-third of the length of the grass blades, which protects grass roots.
