Overview

• Experts warn against mowing in early morning, at midday or after dusk to avoid dew damage, heat stress and fungal attacks.
• Chris Cooper of Hayter identifies late morning and mid-late afternoon as the best windows for June lawn trims.
• Accelerated grass growth in June typically requires weekly mowing and twice-weekly cuts if growth is rapid and hydration is adequate.
• Gardeners should lower mower cutting height in June but must never remove more than one-third of the grass blade at once.
• Weekly mowing is recommended unless turf shows extreme dryness, in which case gardeners should delay trimming until moisture levels recover.
