Here’s the surprising truth: your grass doesn’t care about the day of the week. It cares about inches. A good rule of thumb is to let your grass grow to about three to four inches tall before you even think about touching it.
When you cut, never remove more than one-third of the blade length. Think of it like getting a trim, not a buzzcut. If you scalp the lawn, you’re basically yelling, “Hey, weeds and drought, come live here for free!”
Fun fact: longer grass means deeper roots, which means less watering. You’re being lazy and environmentally responsible. You’re a hero.
