Lawns in Rhode Island and Massachusetts are comprised of mostly Kentucky blue grass, perennial rye and fescue, so your lawn should be mowed at a height of 3”.

Mowing at 3" helps the lawn retain moisture and defend against weed infestations. Also, root depth is directly related the grass blade height – the longer the grass the deeper the roots.
How often you mow is dependant on the time of year. In the spring and fall you will be mowing more often, summer time less. You should try to mow at least once a week removing only 1/3 of the blade of grass. If you find you are removing more than 1/3, you may need to mow more often.
No, as long as you are removing only 1/3 of the grass blade you do not need to bag. If, out of necessity, you need to remove more than 1/3 you should bag as heave clippings will suffocate the lawn.
Your lawn should receive 1.5" – 2” of water per week, this includes rainfall. Generally, watering every other day or every third day for 20 – 30 minutes per section/zone should suffice. Remember, deep infrequent waterings are preferable to light frequent waterings.
In the morning, after 6am, is usually the best time to water as the sun will be coming up to dry the grass blades and there is usually less wind at this time. Watering at night is not recommended.
Always follow your local watering restrictions. If during the summer your lawn suffers from drought stress, the GreenWorks program will help it recover.
Proper mowing and watering are key to preventing disease problems. Regular mowing with a sharp blade and watering after 6am will cut down on problems dramatically. A dull lawn mower blade will shred the grass blade allowing disease spores to enter the plant. A dull blade also causes rapid dehydration of the grass. If you are watering at night the water sits on the grass blades providing the perfect environment for diseases. Pruning back trees to allow more air circulation will help as well. Sometimes due to humidity or other environmental factors, nothing will get rid of disease problems.
