How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn in San Antonio? — San Antonio yard

Most San Antonio lawns need mowing more often during the warm growing season and less in the cooler months. Watch how fast your grass grows and avoid cutting off too much at once.

Growth sets the schedule

St. Augustine and Bermuda grass, the two most common lawns around San Antonio, grow fastest in the long, hot growing season. When growth slows in cooler weather, mowing can be spaced further apart.

Rather than mowing on a fixed calendar alone, watch how quickly your grass gets shaggy. A lawn that looks uneven a few days after a cut is telling you it needs attention more often.

Don't scalp in the heat

Cutting grass too short during South Texas heat can stress the lawn and expose soil to the sun. Taking off a little at a time keeps the lawn looking even and healthier.

St. Augustine generally looks best kept a bit taller than Bermuda. If you are unsure, ask about a height that suits your yard.

Keep it clean

A tidy mow includes clearing clippings off sidewalks and driveways. Pairing mowing with edging gives the whole yard a finished look.
