Weekly vs. Biweekly Mowing: What’s Best for Your Lawn?

Contact Nathan's Lawn Care

When it comes to maintaining a healthy, great-looking lawn, mowing frequency makes all the difference. At Nathan’s Lawn Care LLC, we often get asked by Argyle homeowners whether weekly or biweekly mowing is the better choice. The truth is—it depends on your goals, your grass type, and how you want your yard to look year-round. Let’s break down the key differences.

🌿 Weekly Mowing: Healthier Growth and Curb Appeal

Weekly mowing keeps your lawn consistently trimmed, which promotes stronger, more uniform growth. Cutting your grass regularly prevents overgrowth that can stress the turf and invites pests or disease.

Benefits of weekly mowing include:

• Healthier turf: Frequent cuts encourage lateral growth and a thicker, more resilient lawn.

• Consistent curb appeal: Your yard always looks fresh and manicured.

• Better weed control: Shorter intervals between cuts prevent weeds from seeding and spreading.

• Reduced stress on grass blades: Removing smaller amounts of grass each time helps maintain moisture and color.

For most North Texas lawns—especially during peak growing seasons—weekly mowing is ideal to handle the fast growth caused by warm temperatures and spring rains.

🌾 Biweekly Mowing: Lower Maintenance, But Higher Risk

Biweekly mowing may sound appealing for its lower cost and less frequent visits, but it often leads to challenges, especially in Argyle’s hot, humid climate. When grass grows too tall between cuts, it can scalp easily or leave unsightly clumps after mowing.

Potential drawbacks include:

• Scalping and uneven cuts from tall, stressed grass.

• Increased thatch buildup and weaker roots.

• More visible weeds and discoloration between services.

• Higher risk of pests like chinch bugs and grubs.

While biweekly mowing can work during cooler months or in shaded areas where grass grows slower, it’s generally not recommended for long-term lawn health.

🌱 The Nathan’s Lawn Care Recommendation

For the best results, we recommend weekly mowing during the growing season (March through October) and adjusting frequency in the winter as growth slows. This schedule keeps your yard healthy, dense, and ready to impress—without the headaches of overgrown grass or patchy spots.
