🌿 How Often Should I Mow My Lawn? A Local Guide for Etobicoke Homeowners
Keeping your lawn healthy and lush doesn’t just depend on watering and fertilizing — regular mowing is one of the most important parts of turf care. But how often should you actually mow your lawn? Let’s break it down for Etobicoke and surrounding areas.
For most grass types in Etobicoke, weekly mowing is ideal from late spring through early fall. Once your grass starts actively growing (typically in May), it should be mowed every 7 days to:
Maintain even growth
Prevent weeds from taking over
Keep your lawn looking sharp and healthy
If you wait too long between cuts, your mower could scalp the lawn or leave clumps of clippings that smother the grass below.
Never remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade in one mow. Cutting too much at once stresses your lawn and weakens the root system. Instead, stay consistent with short, regular trims — your grass will thank you.
As temperatures drop in late September and October, grass growth slows down. You can start mowing every 10–14 days before stopping completely once the lawn goes dormant.
Uneven growth, patches, or weeds could signal other issues like soil compaction, lack of nutrients, or poor irrigation coverage. We offer lawn aeration, overseeding, and irrigation system checks to get your lawn back on track.
