Mr. Know-It-All: Grass Height.
Don't remove any more than one third of the grass leaf at any one cutting. If circumstances arise that a lawn gets too tall and you just have to lop off a bunch to get caught up, bite the bullet and break it down into several mowing's to get caught up with 3 or so days between cuttings. NEVER SCALP YOUR LAWN. Scalping severely damages the root system to such a degree that it may die.
