I've read/heard from many sources that you should only cut up to 1/3 of the
length at any one time. More can be damaging. So the longer you start
with, the longer it will end up. Longer/thicker lawns can also be more weed
resistant. Shorter in the fall for the last cut will also help protect from
winter molds/fungus and matting if you live where there's lots of snow.

What is the correct cutting height to set mower blades at to have a nice
thick lawn? Seems the idea would be to have it where you can look at the
yard and know it's been mowed.
