What is the recommended cutting height for a general purpose lawn?

Hello all

It is getting to the time now when the lawns will need to be cut and since I am now looking at trying to do this myself could someone please tell me what the recommended cutting height is for a general purpose lawn?

The lawn will not be walked on much as I now have a path leading to the Patio and I live alone so no pets etc. will be using it.

I am not sure on the types of grass but I believe it is a mixture of Fescue and Rye, I think

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Kevin

 

Hi Kevin

all depends on what you want but a nice 1.5 inches to 2 inches is fine. The longer the grass is the better the root growth. You can alter this to suit your conditions.

 

Hello @Liz the pot

Thanks for the reply and the information.

I will start at 2" and hopefully that will work for my conditions.

Thanks

Kevin
