Why is my lawn yellow after mowing?
Mowing - Brownish lawn after mowing
If your lawn is yellow or brown after mowing, it may mean you are cutting it too short. The shorter you cut the longer it will take the roots to begin growing again. At worst, if you cut too close, the grass roots may never grow again. Clippings 1/2 inch or smaller can be left on the lawn, and they will help to reduce thatch buildup and help to provide your lawn with valuable nutrients.
