Cutting Height Changes
Everything
The single most common lawn care mistake in Montgomery is cutting grass too short. See how we approach every mow. Scalping Bermuda stresses roots, invites weeds, and makes lawns vulnerable to summer heat damage. Cutting Centipede below 1.5 inches causes the same result.
We mow at the correct height — part of our complete lawn programme. Not whatever is fastest. We never remove more than one-third of the blade in a single mowing.
- Bermuda: 1–1.5 inches (bi-weekly or weekly in peak season)
- Zoysia: 1–2 inches depending on variety
- Centipede: 1.5–2.5 inches — never scalp
- St. Augustine: 3–4 inches — highest of all types
Mowing
Correct height, sharp blades, alternating patterns. Sharp blades reduce disease entry and tear damage.
Edging
Clean edges along driveways, walkways and beds on every visit. The most visible sign of a well-maintained lawn.
Trimming
String trimmer around trees, fences, mailboxes and obstacles the mower can't reach.
Blowing Clean
Clippings blown off driveways, walkways and beds before we leave. No mess left behind.

Why Sharp Blades Matter More Than You Think
A dull mowing blade does not cut grass — it tears it. The torn edge turns white or tan within a day, giving the lawn a stressed, hazy appearance even on perfectly healthy turf. More importantly, torn blade edges are open wounds. Fungal spores that would otherwise bounce off a clean cut can enter torn tissue and establish disease. A lawn that keeps getting dull-blade mowing will show consistently higher disease pressure over a season, regardless of what fungicide is applied.
We sharpen blades regularly — more often during peak growing season when mowing frequency is highest. You can usually feel the difference in how the lawn looks 48 hours after a visit: clean, defined edges rather than a faintly brown haze across the top of the canopy.
Month-by-Month Mowing in Montgomery
Mowing frequency in Montgomery follows the grass, not the calendar. Here is what a realistic schedule looks like for a Bermuda or Zoysia lawn through the year.
- January–February: Dormant warm-season grasses do not need mowing. St. Augustine may need an occasional trim if Montgomery has a mild winter.
- March: One to two mows as green-up begins. Do not cut short — let the grass strengthen before regular mowing starts.
- April–May: Weekly mowing begins as growth accelerates. This is the window where height matters most for density.
- June–August: Peak season. Weekly mowing essential for Bermuda. Bi-weekly acceptable for Zoysia and Centipede during heat.
- September–October: Growth slows. Shift toward bi-weekly. Final fall cuts should stay at normal height — do not scalp going into dormancy.
- November–December: Mowing ends as dormancy sets in. One final cleanup cut if the lawn needs tidying before winter.
Clippings management: for most Montgomery lawns, mulching clippings back into the turf is the right choice. Short clippings decompose quickly, return nutrients to the soil, and reduce fertilizer demand over time. The exception is a lawn under active fungal disease pressure — in that case, bagging and removing clippings reduces the spread of fungal material across the turf surface.
