The lawn should be mowed frequently enough so that no more than 1/3 of the leaf blade length is removed during any one mowing. During periods of active turf grass growth, many lawns will require mowing more than once per week if this recommendation is to be followed.. If extended wet periods prevent timely mowing and the turf grass gets excessively tall, move the mower height adjustment to the highest setting and mow the lawn. Once the clippings dry, lower the height adjustment to the desired height and then mow the lawn a second time in a different direction. This approach is termed "Double Cutting."
