        Grass Cutting Tips:
        1. Don’t let your grass grow really tall, then cut it all off in one mowing.
        2. Never mow off more than 1/3 of the leaf blade at a time.
        3. Mowing once a week should be sufficient. But if you’ve had a lot of rain and the grass has grown rapidly between mowings, you may have to mow more than once a week to honor the 1/3 rule.
        Here are the recommended heights that grasses need to be cut:
