There's not one mowing schedule that works well for all lawns. The mowing schedule you stick to should be tailored to what's best for your area. The perfect mowing schedule for lawns in Plano, TX, should include bi-weekly mowing in March when your grass is slowly emerging from winter dormancy. Once April arrives, you should mow your lawn weekly until October to cover the growing season when your grass is growing the most. For the month of November, you should revert back to bi-weekly mowing as winter approaches and grass growth begins to slow down. Following this schedule will ensure an ideal grass height year-round!

Mow your lawn bi-weekly in March.

During winter, your lawn will go into a state of dormancy when the grass stops growing. You won't have to worry about mowing it in the winter since it will remain dormant until spring. In the spring, it will gradually emerge from its dormancy. At this time, the grass still isn't growing quickly just yet. For this reason, you won't need to mow it as often at the beginning of spring. Mowing your lawn bi-weekly in March as the growing season gets underway will keep your grass at an ideal height and reduce the risk of mowing it too short or wasting time mowing it when it's not needed.

String-trimming, blowing, and edging should also be done during the mowing process to help maintain a healthy lawn.

Your lawn should be mowed weekly from April to October.

Although it may take your grass some time to emerge out of winter dormancy during the beginning of spring, once it does emerge, it will begin to grow quickly. April to October is considered the growing season in Texas and this is when you'll notice your grass growing the fastest. At this time, you should mow your lawn weekly to make sure it stays well-maintained and manicured. If you don't mow your lawn every week during the growing season, it could quickly become overgrown and bring down your home's curb appeal.

Switch back to mowing on a bi-weekly basis in November.

In November, your grass growth will start to slow down again as the winter season approaches. During this time, temperatures are getting cooler and your lawn will stop growing so quickly. For this reason, you can reduce the frequency of how often you mow your lawn to bi-weekly during this month. After November, you won't need to mow your lawn until March, when it comes out of its winter slumber.

Always rotate your mowing patterns to prevent your grass from leaning in one direction and ruts from forming in your lawn.
