How I TRANSFORMED My Lawn // Tall Cut Grass to Short Cut Grass

One of the most common questions that I receive is how did transition from mowing your lawn taller to mowing it much shorter?
Today I want to explain the process that I've gone through to bring my lawn from a 3-4 inch mowing height down to a 1/2" golf course style and what is involved in ongoing maintenance etc. A reel mower is the key to the short cut as well as spoon feeding fertilizer and nutrients and dialing in your irrigation. For those of us in a humid climate it will also be important to stay on top of fungus issues during the mid summer. I still learn something new everyday with short cut turf but it truly is the lawn of my dreams!

What happens when you've overseeded a tall fescue lawn with an elite seed that can be mowed low? Can you still mow low ?

[@keanuwick1082]

Hey Ryan I live in Michigan and used Scotts Midwest grass seed mix...and followed your spring overseeding from from April 2020 to a T. It will be 2 weeks 5/9....weeds started to slowly turn white maybe a week in. As of today they are more and more each day. Watering like I should couple times a day....and I've had 4 days of the time nice spring rain. Was starting to worry because hadn't seen signs of germination yet....plus my lawn is starting to look kinda crap(not being cut in 2 weeks).....looked out there today and NEW grass popping thru!! Was worried about my flowering tree dropping pedals everywhere and maybe too much peat moss in some spots. Only concern I have now is I have alot of wild violet....tenacity says it kills wild violet.....but it doesn't look effected yet......any experience? Is it just a matter of cutting it and it doesn't come back deal? Or is it suppose to turn white?

How much money do you have? That's always the first question haha

[@ehhhhhhhhhh]

Is there a way to determine how high you should cut your grass based on frequency of mowing? I don't see myself mowing every 2 - 3 days. Mowing once every 4 - 6 days is definitely more ideal.

[@fiercenet]

It's based on your rate of growth. Never cut more than a third... So if you are cutting at 3/4 you need to cut again when it hits about an inch and an eighth. That may 1 to 3 days. If you are cutting at an inch and a half, you cut at 2.25" and might get away with 4 days.

[@LemonScentedSquid]

Not me cutting my front with my new reel mower (manual fiskars) and chopping down one section to 1.25 inches just to see what happens with my established, wild mix yard... 100% it's probably gonna die this summer but it needed to be redone anyway.

I'm rarely thoughtful about lawns, but last summer, deep in covid, we got takeout from the best burger bar in the state last summer. Being Covid time, we couldn't eat inside, so we ended up on that lawn of a Catholic church across the street, in the middle of this small farming community. The church had luxurious 3", perfect lawn. While I appreciate Ryan's short lawn, I have to admit that I would love to have that perfect, thick lawn.

[@ukaszszwitalla2839]

Hello Ryan, here Łukasz from Poland. I have question about mixing type of Grass on my lawn. Currently i got fescue ( Barenburg " dry & strong") but im not so happy with that doesnt look so good . So i thinking about overseeding with another Barenburg ( Rye Grass , RPR Bar power ) what you think about that ? Will be visible aby difference between this two after germination ? Thanks in advance

[@RobWhittlestone]

Ryan, thanks for this super helpful video. I'm in northwest Switzerland and have a young (under 2 years) lawn. It was poor on nutrients (clover areas appearing) and I'm correcting that slowly to improve growth density. I was previously too timid with fertilizing and will be doing it much more often now I have seen what can be achieved. I have a cheap rotary mower and currently cut at 2 inches but will move to a cylinder (reel) mower at 1.25" probably next year. I verticut/scarify spring & autumn (fall) and notice how this frees the grass plants for growth. Topdressing is needed which will help with levelling and provide a medium for the overseeding that I plan for autumn (fall). Our soil is heavy clay so the topdressing will be primarily lawn humus and not sand on account of the poor nutrient situation. I find your experience and advice very helpful in planning actions on my lawn, even though the products and grass varieties don't translate directly. You have a new subscriber! All the best, Rob

[@DigitalPaintCan]

The best cost effective, gas powered reel mower is? I've been using a manual (love it) - looking to move up and cut lower. @digitalpaintcan

[@godfather1116]

I started from scratch, glyphosate everything, rip the old grass, level the ground and planted last fall of 2020. Leveled the ground again in early spring, replaced the rotary with an Allett reel mower and I am enjoying all the hard work. Getting ready for that growth regulator already.

[@Longenecker1776]

This would never work for me unless I leveled my whole yard and took out the existing trees (Maple in front yard and Honey Locust in back yard). I’ll have to settle for my striped 4 inch Tall Fescue mix 🤷🏻‍♂️. Yours looks amazing, though.

[@mercmanwon]

I wacked my Bluegrass down to about 1” last fall for the last few mows. This spring I kept the cut height the same and the grass looks great. I’ll cut every 3rd day or so and the cut is quick and clean. Still beating the weeds back, but I’m winning.

Hi. I am a fan your chanel and i have a situation. I have overseeded my lawn and i did not cut the grass for 3 weeks because of a cold period that has slowed down the growing of the new grass. After that, i have cut it to 6,5 cm (2,5 inches) and then i went lower, to 2 inches, but in some areas the grass looks like straws, with few leaves that are wide. This is what you mean by taking a few weeks to acomodate tonthe new height? That thisbappearance will gradually improove? No more straws and wide leaf blades?

[@Threxx]

Mowing my lawn every other day is just not possible. It's 3/4 of an acre. It's already a time commitment to mow it once a week with my walk behind mower. Would you consider reviewing a robotic lawnmower and testing it out on your lawn for a month or so? I've heard they can be a good alternative way to keep your lawn short since they can constantly mow for you.

Whats up, Ryan? I've decided to start reel mowing. I do have a question. Did you use growth regulator on your turf when you started out mowing lower? Another question is when are you going to come out with a manual reel mower kinda like the Hudson star for example that some of us middle class home owners would be able to afford lol? I've modified a scotts classic 20" that will go down to a little under an inch. That's what I'll be using. As always me and my family love your content. Best wishes as you continue moving forward.

Hi Ryan. Been watching a lot of your videos lately to help improve my little slice of heaven. Living up in Ontario, Canada I face some of the challenges you yourself face with colder temperatures. Milogranite isn't available here, so after some reading and research I found a product called Acti-Soil which is a natural hen manure fertilizer (5-3-2) in pellet form. Going to apply every six weeks and I am hoping for great results. My question is, when would be a good time to start my weed control? Can I start applying it now? Or should I wait a bit after applying this new fertilizer? Any help would be appreciated.

[@GregVanGorp]

Hey Ryan, let's just say you want a short turf lawn pretty level with the driveway/sidewalk but the soil/base is already like 2 inches above the cement. So with a 3" cut, the top of the lawn is 5" above. Obviously you can't just cut that down to an inch and start the transition, I'd have to move some serious dirt. Do you have any videos like that or know how I could start from scratch and get that level?

[@davewilliams9948]

I really enjoy the content Ryan. I just laid Tiffway sod in the front yard 4 days ago. I'm sure it's going to be slightly bumpy for the first couple of cuts. I use a California Trimmer 20 inch.

One day I'll get there though.

[@boostedfools]

Good step by step, Ryan. One thing I would add is when taking the lawn low in one step, make sure to do it at the right time of year when the grass is growing the fastest to make recovery faster. I did my lawn last year and took it from 3.5" to 0.8" and it recovered in about a month's time since it was Zoysia in July when I scalped.
