How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? A Simple Guide to General Lawn Care
Posted by Tamed by Krista | Fraser Coast & Wide Bay Lawn Mowing Services
Keeping your lawn looking lush, healthy, and neat takes more than the occasional weekend mow. One of the most common questions we get asked is: how often should I mow my lawn? The answer depends on a few things — your grass type, the season, and how you want your lawn to look.
In General: Mow Every 1–2 Weeks
For most lawns in the Fraser Coast and Wide Bay regions, mowing every 1–2 weeks during spring and summer is ideal. Grass grows faster in warm, wet weather, so regular mowing helps keep it healthy and prevents weeds from taking over.
What About Winter?
In the cooler months, your lawn’s growth will slow down. You can usually get away with mowing every 3–4 weeks. Just be sure to avoid mowing if the grass is wet or frosty, as this can damage the turf.
The One-Third Rule
No matter the season, never cut more than one-third of your lawn’s height at once. Cutting too short can stress your grass and lead to patchiness. Aim for a neat trim that encourages strong root growth and better drought resistance.
Don’t Forget the Edges
While mowing keeps the bulk of your lawn tidy, edging adds that professional finish. We recommend doing a quick edge trim around paths, driveways, and garden beds every second mow.
Why Regular Mowing Matters
- Encourages thicker, healthier grass
- Helps prevent weeds and pests
- Makes watering and fertilising more effective
- Keeps your home looking neat and well-maintained
