Florida lawn care

How often should you mow a Florida lawn?

During the warm growing season, many Jacksonville lawns need mowing about once a week. Growth slows during cooler or drier periods, so the schedule may stretch to every two weeks or longer.

Let the grass guide the schedule

Avoid removing more than roughly one-third of the grass blade at one time. Cutting too much at once can stress the lawn and leave it looking thin or scalped.

Weather changes everything

Rain, heat, irrigation, shade and grass type all affect growth. A fixed calendar is useful, but the actual condition of the lawn matters more.
