During peak growing season, most High Point lawns need mowing every seven days to stay within the one-third rule without stressing the grass. In July and August when heat slows growth, every ten days may be enough. Skipping two weeks is usually too long, especially in a wet summer when turf can get tall enough that mowing it back to height causes shock.

Pre-emergent for crabgrass needs to go down in early spring, before soil temperatures hit 55 degrees, which in High Point typically falls in late February to mid-March depending on the year. Missing that window means hand-pulling or post-emergent treatments, both of which are more work. Fall pre-emergent for winter annuals like annual bluegrass goes down in late August. Timing it right matters more than the product.
