Oftentimes those who typically do not care for the chore of cutting grass may be tempted to cut their grass very low due to the belief that it will save them time from exercising the chore as frequently in the future. This is, in fact, not only a MYTH but also potentially dangerous to your lawn health.

The FACT is simple. Consistently cutting grass too short can create an environment for disease infestation, w**d growth, and also causes the lawn to lose moisture much quicker than that of an average lawn height. Roots tend to become weaker as well with low-cut grass than if you were to let your grass grow and begin cutting with your mower set to a higher cutting height, which is often encouraged for stronger roots.
