Properly mowed lawns will have fewer weed populations, better moisture stress tolerance and generally better quality than improperly mowed lawns. Plus, they look spiffy-er, too.


Low heights have limited leaf area to sustain photosynthesis rates to maintain good plant vigor. In addition, your grass will develop a stronger root system.
