🌱 There's no single answer to "how often" - it depends on your grass and the season. But there's a sensible default that works for most Coast lawns: fortnightly through the growing season, monthly once things slow down.
☀️ Growing season (Sep–May)
Couch and kikuyu push hard. Stretch beyond two weeks and you end up taking more off in one cut than the rule of one-third allows, and the lawn yellows for a fortnight afterwards. Fortnightly keeps it tidy and keeps the colour.
🍂 Winter (Jun–Aug)
Growth eases off. Most lawns can sit at three to four weeks between cuts. Wet patches and shaded sections might still need a tidy more often.
📏 Cut height by grass type
Buffalo lawns like Sir Walter are slower than couch but want a higher cut - we sit the deck at 40–50mm. On a tightly-knit couch, around 25mm.
🌾 Got a thin lawn?
The answer is usually "mow more often, at a higher height" - not less often. Frequent, shallow cuts thicken a lawn faster than letting it grow tall and then taking the lot off.
Frequency beats force, every time.
