When to cut grass after winter: The exact date you should start mowing

According to the Woodland Trust, March 18 is the best time to begin cutting your grass.

The Woodland Trust said: “Records from our citizen science project, Nature’s Calendar, over the last few years, illustrate how the weather influences our grass cutting habits.

“The Beast from the East in early 2018 brought widespread snow and low temperatures, delaying the average first lawn cut to six days after the benchmark year (2001).

“In contrast, a mild start to 2019 and 2020 resulted in early grass growth, with the average date being 21 and 18 days earlier than the benchmark year respectively.”
