How Often Should Grass Be Mowed?
The right mow frequency for a Sonora lawn — by season, grass type, and how you use the yard.
Mow frequency is one of the most-Googled lawn questions. In Sonora the honest answer is: weekly through the growing season, bi-weekly through winter, with adjustments for growth spurts.
The one-third rule
Never remove more than a third of the blade in a single cut. If you're skipping weeks and scalping to make up, you're stressing the lawn.
Sonora calendar
- April to October: weekly
- November to March: bi-weekly (or monthly for dormant lawns)
- Spring surge: sometimes twice a week for two to three weeks
When to hire it out
Weekly mowing is the number one hand-off. Once your Saturday is worth more than the service, the math works itself out.
