Mowing advice
Should I mow in autumn?
Yes, while grass is still growing and conditions are dry enough. Gradually reduce frequency as growth slows.
Why conditions matter
Autumn mowing keeps the lawn tidy and prevents long grass from matting.
Wet leaves and softer soil can make cutting unsafe or damaging.
Before you mow
- Remove leaves.
- Choose a dry window.
- Keep the final cuts moderate rather than very short.
Safety guidance
Clear slippery leaves and check light levels before mowing.
Regional considerations
Mild regions may need occasional cuts well into late autumn; colder areas stop sooner.
