in early spring before the new growth starts
In New England, I cut back my grass sometime in winter or very early spring. It could be done in late fall. But I like to leave the grass for winter interest and animals.
usually in the fall
Early spring.....I love the beauty of the dried stalks during the winter.
Hi Jeanann,
Our landscaper told us to do it in late fall. We experimented with spring & fall and found that we got taller plants if we did it in the fall. You could try experimenting too, to see how your plants react. Wishing you the best.
