Done consistently, it also cuts down on how much water and fertilizer you need. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canr.msu.edu\/outreach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Michigan State University Extension<\/a>, mowing at the right height can even eliminate the need for pesticides when paired with modest fertilizing and regular watering.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The flip side is equally true: cutting too short, <a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/how-to-mow-wet-grass\/\">mowing wet grass<\/a>, or running dull blades weakens turf and opens the door to weeds, disease, and patchy growth.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/lawn-mowing-mistakes\/\">Common Lawn Mowing Mistakes<\/a><\/li>    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/when-not-to-mow-your-lawn\/\">When Not to Mow Your Lawn<\/a><\/li> <\/ul>    <h2 id=\"1-before-you-mow\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"before-you-mow\">Before you mow<\/span><\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walk the lawn before every mow and remove anything that could jam the blade or become a projectile: sticks, rocks, toys, lawn furniture.

With a walk-behind, move horizontally or diagonally across the slope rather than straight up and down. With a riding mower, do the opposite: drive straight up and down, never sideways.

Grass clippings are roughly 80\u201385 percent water and decompose quickly, returning nitrogen and moisture to the soil. Returning clippings to the lawn provides up to 25% of your lawn&#8217;s total fertilizer needs, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.missouri.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University of Missouri Extension<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bag when:<\/strong><\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>The lawn has a disease you don&#8217;t want to spread<\/li>    <li>Grass is overgrown, and clippings are thick enough to smother the turf<\/li>    <li>There&#8217;s an active insect infestation<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read more: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/landscaping-grass-clippings-composting\/\">How to Compost Your Grass Clippings<\/a><\/p>    <h2 id=\"10-faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/span><\/h2>    <div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779296122451\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What do I do if my lawn gets too long between mows?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Don&#8217;t try to cut it back to the right height in one pass. Mow at the highest setting first to remove the top third, wait a few days, then mow again. Repeat until you&#8217;re back at the correct height for your grass type. If the clippings are thick and heavy after that first cut, bag them rather than mulching.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779296133213\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Should you mow after fertilizing?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Wait at least 48 hours after fertilizing before mowing. Mowing too soon strips treated grass before it can absorb nutrients, or scatters granular fertilizer off the lawn.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779296144963\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long should I wait to mow a new lawn?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For seeded lawns, wait up to 2 months and mow for the first time when the grass reaches about 3\u20134 inches. Plugs, sprigs, or stolons need 3\u20136 weeks. After laying sod, wait 2\u20134 weeks until roots are established. Gently tug on the turf, and if it holds firm, it&#8217;s ready.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>    <h2 id=\"11-hire-a-pro-who-knows-how-to-mow\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"hire-a-pro-who-knows-how-to-mow\">Hire a pro who knows how to mow<\/span><\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good mowing comes down to consistency and technique.
