Recommendations Regarding Mowing by Mike Mingo, Natural Resources Planner, ADOT (602) 712-6993:

 

Mowing should be done in late October, after the plants have mature seed heads. The mower deck should be no lower than 6 inches from the ground. This height will ensure protection of the grass plants.  If a spring mowing is needed for early weeds, avoid having the blade height too low. Grasses need to shade themselves until the summer rains come.
