Turf mowing guide: frequency and timing

Mowing frequency depends on how fast the lawn is growing — and that depends on water and feed. After installation, take the first cut from 8 cm down to 6 cm. From the second cut onwards, mow at 3.5–4 cm and hold that height as the standard. In summer, when irrigation runs higher, growth picks up and you may need to mow twice — or in heavy growth, three times — per week. The cardinal rule across all of it: never remove more than one-third of the leaf in a single cut.
