What you'll learn
Why is mowing in spring important?
The first mow after winter sets the tone for the rest of the season. It helps your grass grow thicker, healthier and more evenly. Regular mowing also prevents weeds from taking over your lawn.
When should you start mowing your lawn?
You can start mowing when the grass begins to grow again, usually when temperatures are consistently above 8–10°C. This is often around early spring.
- Grass should be dry before mowing
- Avoid mowing during frost or very wet conditions
- Wait until the grass is around 8–10 cm high
