Cut grass, or let grow this week?

Anonymous
Ordinarily I’d mow the lawn, but given the heat, would you leave it until next weekend?

It’s not out of control, but is looking a little tall.

Not good for the grass to let it get too tall.
Should never cut more than 1-2 inches off the top at a mowing.
Vary frequencies of mowing based on growth rate and season.
Letting it get too tall invites fungus problems also.

Actually, our lawn company has told us that keeping the grass tall is better in the heat.

I would leave it until the end of the week then mow at like 7 am.

I did not mow today. I do not think it will grow much this week and a bit long is good in the heat

Your health is more important than the grass.

During "drought" not "heat".
Taller grass is for keeping in moisture to prevent the need to water as much.

No, it's good for when it's not raining much. Bad for when it's very wet.

If you cut it, it may scorch in this heat. Not sure what type you have.

It's not that hot. You are just looking for excuses and wanting validation.

1 hour of work won't kill you unless you are very ill already, in which case you need to focus on your health instead and hire out the lawn work.

What's with this alpha dipshit call out mentality?

Lawn is small, and will take 5-10 minutes max. I was sincerely asking about what's good for the lawn. I don't love the weather, but I'll deal and am outside every day. No need to be an aggressive idiot.

My DH sometimes mows just the areas that have had some growth (for example, under a tree) to neaten things up.
