The most ideal length for many grasses is two to three inches long during the majority of the year. You can go a bit longer during the summer months. This is the length that keeps the grass it’s healthiest and also helps to keep invasive weeds down. The grass can then be allowed to grow to 5 inches before cutting. When you do mow your lawn make sure not to cut off more then a third of the length at any given point in time. If your grass has gotten too long consider doing two cuts on the grass to get it to the desired length. Get your soil tested before adding any fertilizers or additives. In order to get the best lawn you need to know what your soil is lacking and what it is good on. For example you may need to add a large amount of nitrogen but no phosphorus. You will be wasting time and money if you put things on your soil you don't need. One of the best things you can do is actually mulch your grass clipping and leave it on the ground instead of bagging it. If you have clay or heavy soil, you may have to aerate the soil to get the best lawn. Aerating the soil will help your grass grow healthier by promoting root growth. There are different ways you can aerate your lawn. You can get aerators that go on your B000BX1GMC, that go on the B000WWO2QE, or B0007CWJZK models. There are also a number of people that swear by rolling their yards to increase grass growth. People with clay soils should probably not do this because of already compressed soil.
