When do you start mowing your grass after the winter has gone?

We have pasture not lawns. And this year I am very glad, it's been so wet no one has been able to mow, as soon as it drys out all the lawns in town are goin to be a mess.

You wait until the ground is thawed and the grass is growing. You would have to check and see what zone you are in and then see when professional mowing companies are beginning their season. I would think that you would start mowing when the grass is growing again but I would check first and see.

Personally since we live in Tacoma, WA which is like 40 mins from Seattle, we have a lot of rain here during the Spring so you have to start mowing at least by April or you will have a jungle for sure. It can be a lot of time and work to keep your yard looking nice so when it rains a lot doing it more than once a week is sometimes required. Having your yard looking nice for others is a good thing.

Never, if I can get away with it! We have a lot of land, and a lot of grass. We strim it as we require a clean piece (for tents for instance) or to cut hay around now.

When it starts to grow and looks unkept, that is usually when it starts getting mowed here. If we wait too long, it is a lot harder to mow the first time.

You know, I am glad that I do not have to worry about all that. I live in New York City, there is no grass in front or in back of my house. All I do is hose down the concrete. Maybe if I want grass, I could just paint the concrete green. I do know that when the grass starts growing, you should not wait until it's a jungle. When it starts getting long, just mow it and try to keep up with it until winter.

I usually wait to mow until the grass is actively growing and green, and the lawn's dry enough so I don't make ruts in the lawn. Once it gets a few inches up, it's time for a mowing. I live in northern Ohio, and if I waited until summer to mow, it would be too tall to even get a mower through it. Here, in the spring, we often have to mow it twice a week until later in June or July when it slows down it's growth some. This year, we had the rainiest May in our areas history, so it's been a real challenge to get out there and mow even though it's growing so fast. The lawn is like walking on a sponge lol.

I generally wait until there is not likely to be a ground frost. Grass begins to grow at 45 deg F (and only quite slowly then). If it is damaged by cutting just before a frosty night, it takes it a lot longer to recover because the growing point (which is in the centre of the plant) is damaged and exposed.

Spring comes earlier here, I guess. I try to put it off until Easter in case I want to hide eggs, but usually by the end of April I am mowing. Right now it looks like we need to mow twice a week.

My lawn has been mowed several times already...the next door neighbor takes care of doing my lawn work....so the minute it gets tall enough...then it gets mowed!

I'm not able to mow so i have to hire it done. it has already beem mowed a bunch of times. I like for it to look neat.

hi, for me,i will start to mow my grasses when i see that grass is now ugly and more taller,because taller grass also not good because it will looks like intersperse,so its better to mow or to reduce there height.

There's not really a difference if you're worried about damaging the mower, I would mow as soon as there is enough grass for you to consider mowing.
