Always take care of your garden and lawn a few weeks before winter kicks in. However, many people wonder whether the lawn should be kept long or cut short during these winter months.
Firstly, we don’t recommend that you mow your lawn during winter as this can significantly damage the grass. While some believe the grass should remain short during the winter, others argue that it should be kept quite long to protect the roots from possible snow and frost.
Your grass shouldn’t be too long or too short during winter. We highly recommend that you maintain the same length of grass during these cold months as during the warmer seasons where it’s regularly cut. For the healthiest grass, you should cut about ⅓ of its height as this will protect the grass and keep it healthier for longer.
The perfect length to cut your grass just before winter is between 2.5 to 3 inches long. This will maintain your grass’s health all year long, especially during winter.
