Mowing Height
The optimum cutting height is determined by the growth
habit and leaf width of the turfgrass species. Grass species
that have fine textured (narrow) leaf blades and that grow
horizontally are usually mowed shorter than an uprightgrowing grass with coarser (wider) leaf blades. For example,
bermudagrass is mowed at low heights because of its
numerous narrow leaf blades and low growth habit (Figure
1). In contrast, St. Augustinegrass is mowed at higher
heights because it has coarse-textured leaf blades.
Turfgrass undergoes physiological stress with each mowing event, particularly if too much leaf tissue is removed
(Figure 2). Effects of “scalping,” or removal of too much
shoot tissue at one time, can produce long-term damage
to the turf. This can leave turf susceptible to other stresses

Turfgrass Species Optimal Mowing Height (inches) Preferred Mower Type
Bahiagrass 3.0–4.0 Rotary
Bermudagrass 0.5–1.5 Reel/Rotary
Centipedegrass 1.5–2.0 Rotary
St. Augustinegrass 2.5–4.0* Rotary
Zoysiagrass (Coarse types) 2.0–2.5 Rotary
*Dwarf and semi-dwarf cultivars of St. Augustinegrass (Captiva, Delmar, Seville) are the only cultivars of this species that should be mowed at
2.5” Other cultivars should be mowed at 3.5–4”
