Last mow a little lower
The final cut on a cool-season lawn can sit a half-inch below summer height. You still want green leaf. Rake remaining leaves. Then put the mower away clean.
Steps
- Pick a dry day after growth has slowed.
- Mow one notch down from summer height.
- Rake or mulch remaining leaves. Clean the underside of the deck.
Tips
- If the lawn is still growing in a long fall, keep mowing. Don't ritualize a date.
