Does It Matter When You Mow Your Lawn?

• There are certainly some periods during the day
  in which you shouldnt mow your lawn, and while
  it may not always be convenient for you, its
  important that you adhere to the timetable to
  prevent damaging your lawn.
• Early morning mowing
• This is often considered to be the very worst
  time to mow your lawn, since dew will likely be
  covering the grass, making it harder for your
  mower to cut it evenly without damaging the
  blades of grass. Grass that is damaged can
  quickly become the ideal breeding ground for
  disease and fungi, and then you have a bigger
  problem than just an overgrown lawn.

• Mid-morning mowing
• While open to debate, it is widely thought that
  the middle of the morning is the best time to mow
  a lawn. This is mainly because grass needs some
  time to recover from mowing before nightfall sets
  in, and so cutting it mid-morning gives it ample
  time to dry out and heal throughout the rest of
  the day.
• Midday mowing
• It may be safe enough to mow your lawn in the
  middle of the day, but it isnt necessarily the
  best time to do so.

• Not only might you get hot and bothered doing the
  mowing in the heat of the midday sun during the
  summer months, but the turf may become stressed
  during the hot conditions and if you need to mow
  an overgrown lawn, you put the grass at risk of
  burning.
• Afternoon mowing
• This is another time of the day in which it might
  be best to mow your lawn, since the grass wont
  be wet from early morning dew or at risk of being
  burned by the heat of the midday sun.

• Evening mowing
• Leaving the lawn to be mown at the end of the day
  can have equally as catastrophic results as doing
  so first thing in the morning. As night falls, so
  does the dew, and your lawn is at risk of being
  exposed to disease and fungal infections that
  will thrive in the damp conditions.
• While its important to know when you should and
  shouldnt mow your lawn, its perhaps more
  important to never do so with a blunted blade. A
  sharp blade will not tear your lawn and damage
  the grass, but if the blade is at all blunt, then
  you risk ruining your lawn.
