That's great for a green lawn, but it also means it gets away on you quickly. How often you should mow depends on the season and the type of grass you have. ## Spring and summer: every one to two weeks From around September to March, growth is at its fastest. Many Auckland lawns are kikuyu or have kikuyu through them. Kikuyu loves warm weather and spreads quickly, so weekly mowing is often needed in peak summer. Slower-growing lawns can usually go a fortnight. ## Autumn: every two to three weeks As temperatures drop, growth slows. Keep mowing regularly so the lawn goes into winter tidy and at a healthy height. ## Winter: every three to four weeks, or as needed Auckland winters are mild, so grass keeps growing slowly. Mow when it looks untidy, and avoid mowing when the ground is waterlogged, which damages the lawn and leaves ruts. ## Height matters as much as frequency The golden rule is never to remove more than a third of the grass height in one mow. If a lawn has grown long, bring it down over two or three cuts rather than all at once. Leaving the grass slightly longer in the heat of summer also helps it hold moisture and stay green. ## Signs your mowing schedule isn't working - Yellow or brown patches after mowing (cut too short) - Clumps of clippings left on the lawn (left too long between mows) - Weeds and bare patches spreading through the lawn ## Let us keep it on schedule Regular mowing is the easiest way to keep your lawn healthy and your weekends free.
