Mowing your Bermuda Grass

Believe it or not, there is a proper way to mow your bermuda grass to maintain a healthy, vibrant lawn.

• Avoid scalping your lawn. Grass that is too short uses more water.
• Common bermuda grass should be about 1.5-2" tall.
• Don't remove more than 1/3 of the grass at a time. If you can't mow frequently, incease your mowing height.
• Keep mower blades sharp.
• If you mow frequently and do not over-water or over-fertalize, you shouldn't need to bag your clippings, with the exception of some bermuda grass hybrids.
• Avoid following the same pattern each time you mow.
• Increase the mowing height by 25% in shady areas.
• Use a reel-type mower when mowing grass at a height of one inch or less
