How to perfectly time the final mow before winter to maintain a healthy lawn

Mowing a lawn in fall with fallen leaves on the grass.

The drop in temperatures during fall sees the growth of grass slow down, but you may want to give your lawn one final cut before the arrival of winter. It can be difficult to judge when it is the right time for the final mow of the season, as you do not want to ultimately harm the health of your lawn.

Getting the timing and height of the final mow before winter correct can be important as part of any lawn care regime. Leaving the grass a little bit longer can protect the roots from winter cold and see it emerge healthy again next spring.
