Mowing Grass in Texas During the Winter: The Right Height for a Healthy Lawn

How Low Should I Go??

Winter in Texas can be unpredictable, but with the right approach to lawn care, you can ensure your grass stays healthy through the cooler months and bounces back beautifully in spring. One key factor in maintaining your lawn's health during winter is the correct mowing height.

For most types of grass in Texas—such as Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Zoysia—it’s recommended to keep your grass at a height of about 2 to 2.5 inches during the winter. This height helps protect your lawn from cold stress and sets it up for a strong start in the spring.

Proper lawn care during winter is essential. Mowing your grass too short can leave it vulnerable to frost damage, while allowing it to grow too long can lead to pests and disease. A sharp mower blade will ensure a clean cut, and it's best to mow when the grass is dry to avoid soil compaction.
