How we score a mowing day
Boosts the score
- · Dry weather (under 1 mm rain)
- · Highs between 12 and 22°C
- · Light wind (under 20 mph)
- · No active growth-suppressing cold snap
Drops the score
- · Rain on the day or the day before (wet grass tears)
- · Highs below 6°C (grass barely growing)
- · Highs above 25°C (heat-stressed grass should stay long)
- · Wind over 25 mph (clippings blow everywhere)
Tip: Lawn dew lifts about 90 minutes after sunrise. Mid-morning to mid-afternoon is the sweet spot in Fife, see our Daylight Hours tracker for today's window.
Let us catch the right day
On a maintenance round we watch the weather for you and slide the visit to the day the lawn actually wants. Smarter cutting, better lawns.
