Mowing height is one of the most important things that we should pay attention to while we are doing our lawns. The height of the grass depends on what season it is. In summer, shorter heights are preferred to allow sunlight to grow more. In winter when there is less light, taller heights are needed so snow doesn't get blown around and fall on your lawn.
Choosing the right height for your mower will make it easy for you to maintain a healthy lawn. If you have thin or sparse grass, use a higher setting, and if you have dense, green grass, use a lower setting.
Consider keeping it at a height of 2.5 inches. If your lawn is taller than 2.5 inches, it will give your leaves and other detritus more time to decompose into the soil. And when this happens, the nutrients in this soil will be depleted and it will affect your lawn's health over time.
