If your lawn is really tall, and you need to get it down to the desired height, you may need to do multiple mowings, removing 1/3 of the grass each time. (Wait a few days between each mowing.) So, if you're targeting a 3-inch grass height, you should mow whenever your lawn reaches 4.5-inches. As to how often you should mow to achieve that, it will depend on how fast your lawn grows. One other thing to consider: If you have a huge riding mower, the tires will also be rough on the lawn. So, if you have to mow very often (once a week or more), you may end up harming the lawn.
