How tall should my grass be?

When using a Bad Boy mower, the ideal grass cutting height typically ranges from 2.5 to 4 inches, depending on the type of grass and the season. For most lawns, cutting at 3 to 3.5 inches promotes healthier grass by encouraging deeper root growth, improving drought resistance, and helping shade out weeds. Bad Boy mowers come with easy-to-adjust cutting height settings, allowing you to fine-tune the deck height for optimal results. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade at a time, as mowing too short—known as "scalping"—can stress the lawn and lead to brown patches or weed invasion. Adjust your cutting height higher during hot, dry months to keep your lawn lush and resilient.
