Weekly and Biweekly Mowing Schedules

In Atlanta and its neighboring communities, where both warm-season grasses and cool-season grasses are prevalent, understanding the growth cycles of these grass types is crucial for proper turf management. 

Warm-season grasses, such as Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede, and St. Augustine, are highly responsive to warmer temperatures, with active growth occurring during late spring through summer. These grasses undergo rapid vegetative growth, which, if not managed properly, can lead to thatch buildup, uneven growth , and weed encroachment. 

A weekly mowing schedule helps to maintain a uniform turf canopy, prevent excessive stem elongation, and reduce the risk of thatch formation. Frequent mowing encourages lateral growth, which improves turf density and ensure the grass continues to thrive. Additionally, frequent mowing helps to prevent the grass from becoming overgrown, which can lead to less resilient and less appealing lawn. 

In contrast, cool-season grasses, such as Fescue and Ryegrass, experience peak growth during cooler months, particularly in early spring and fall. During the hot summer months, these grasses slow their growth and enter a state of dormancy. A biweekly mowing schedule is essential for theses grasses during the summer months, as they require less frequent maintenance due to their reduced growth rate. 

This schedule allows the grass to naturally conserve energy, minimizing the risk of stressing the true or cutting too much leaf tissue at once. 

However, during the cooler months, when cool-season grasses are actively growing, more frequent mowing may be needed to prevent excessive vertical  growth, which could hinder proper air circulation, reduce sunlight penetration, and increase the risk of disease.
