Because it’s winter. I don’t know what you expected.
Your guys grass isn't green all year round?
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.
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.
Is this sarcasm? Maybe you should review how seasons work.
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
Same, the only time it's that colour is in summer during a drought.
bro.... grass is green in Winter if its normal length
Bro… not all grass is the same, not all winters are the same, not all soil are the same. Bro.
Where are you?
I’ve never seen grass stay green over winter, in the northeast US
yeah, cuz america apperantly has no real grass, also everybody cuts it like 2mm big... who expects that to survive?
The best cut changes seasonally
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...
