Mowing done the right way
How a lawn is cut matters as much as how often. A few tips from UW Madison Extension:
Height that helps
UW Madison Extension puts an ideal mowing height around three inches. Taller grass shades the soil, which helps hold back crabgrass.

Remove no more than a third of the grass blade in a single mowing. Follow it and the clippings can stay on the lawn.

Returned clippings break down and give back nitrogen, and they do not cause thatch.

How high should my lawn be cut?
Around three inches is an ideal height, according to UW Madison Extension. Taller grass shades the soil and helps hold back crabgrass, and the guidance is to take off no more than a third of the blade at a time.

Usually not. When no more than a third of the blade comes off in a mowing, the clippings filter down, break down and return nitrogen to the lawn. UW Madison Extension notes that returned clippings do not cause thatch.
