          Also, generally speaking, I would agree that lawn is cut way too short, but again it depends on the grass. Bermuda kind of likes being kept short. St. Augustine looks better when it’s a bit longer.

            I’ve always heard it recommended to cut short after it goes dormant. It helps the grass come back quickly in the spring and cuts down on thatch.

            That does look really short though

              Interesting. I always thought you cut it short in fall to allow light to get to new seed. I thought the best way to dethatch was a power rake.

          Depends on the grass. Some go dormant in the colder months. Some don’t. In the south, St Augustine and Bermuda grasses are pretty popular. Both will go dormant if the area gets a decent winter. In the mid-Atlantic region, you’ll see tall Fescue handle winter just fine.

            No, our grass has been in our backyard for 15+ years now, never having anything else done then being mowed occasionally and yet it’s still green 365 days a year. So I’m genuinely confused.

              Well I’m glad you are enjoying your summer beach house

              You do realized not everyone lives in the same climate right? My guess is that you live somewhere that stays about freezing consistently

          Nope. Americans are obsessed with a boring tiny plant that stays dormant for at least a quarter of the year, closing in on half of it.

          Where are you?

          I’ve never seen grass stay green over winter, in the northeast US

              The best cut changes seasonally

              • cut medium in the spring to better control it in fast growth
              • cut long in the summer to hold more moisture and choke out weeds, to better handle dry season
              • cut short in fall, to help it green up faster in the Spring, reduce thatch, and make it easier to keep clean of debris over winter

              Once grass is hibernating, it’s not like cutting it short inhibits anything: that part of the grass isn’t coming back to life

              I mean, different regions have different plants which they call “grass”, not to mention different climates. It is genuinely possible that even grass in the wild goes brown in that region…

        I planted an oak and a redbud this year. In a couple decades they’ll look okay, I hope. Literally have to wrap them with special paper to keep them from getting sunburned while they are small.

        This area naturally only grows trees along creek beds. The natural plants are Blackland Prairie- tall grasses and “weeds.” The HOA would have a cow if I let it go natural.
