Man mowing lawn.

In a blink of an eye, spring will be here, and the ideal time to get outdoors and enjoy your backyard. And if your lawn has managed to beat the frost this winter, you’ll also need to know how and when to prepare your lawn for its first grass cut of the year.

Similar to knowing how often should you mow the lawn, you can’t just cut grass whenever you feel like it. There are various factors to consider, ranging from the weather conditions to grass type and the fertilizer you use. However, there is a general rule of thumb that experts advise as to when you should give your lawn its first haircut. In fact, this can make all the difference to the growth and quality of your lush lawn, and can help to make grass greener.
