Damage to Grass Cut too Short. Cutting height directly affects grass root growth and mass. Cutting grass at the proper height and with appropriate frequency and technique helps to maintain dense, healthy and attractive turf. A low mowing height can leave brown or bare-looking spots in the grass. If the grass is repeatedly cut too short or scalped, it can seriously deplete the grass's energy reserves, weakening or killing grass and leaving the lawn vulnerable to weed invasion. Although it varies between grass species, the ideal minimum mowing height for most turf grasses is 2 1/2 to 3 inches.
