FEBRUARY 01 2022 /
March is officially here! With the change in season, comes change in your grass. Not all grass is made the same, in fact it is important to understand your grass when considering the best ways to take care of your lawn. Most importantly, deciding when to first cut your lawn in the spring will put you on pace to have an awesome looking lawn throughout the season.
If the ground is still frozen and cold from February weather, it's best to avoid cutting your grass until it's fully thawed out. This usually happens when the beautiful North Carolina trees start blooming in the middle of March (although lately the weather has been getting much warmer, much faster).
Grass is especially prone to injury in the spring when the climate is hot and dry. To avoid injuring grass, wait until the grass is standing at least 2 inches tall before starting your first cut. This allows its roots to fully mature.
After your first cut of the spring, your grass grass requires mowing about once a week to keep it healthy. If you would like some help, consider hiring a professional or setting a schedule for yourself to mow every Sunday.
