Hi All,

Well, I am at that point where the first cut is required, and I don't
want to pull up the grass shoots, so what mower type is needed? I
recall seeing a thread that detailed a rotary mower, but from my POV,
all mower types are rotary; whether the rotary motion is vertical or
lateral is the key point.

Which one do I need then, the vertical axis mower or the lateral axis
mower?

PLUS, I've noticed some of my neighbours have left their newly seeded
grass to grow up to 4 inches or more, but I though you should cut it
before it reaches that height...... but they might know more than
me.......

thanking you.....

Normally, people don't have a lot of choice in the matter, as they
usually already have a mower. Any typical power rotary mower with a
sharp blade will do fine.

How high to cut it depends on the type of grass. Generally, you don't
need to let new grass get real high. You can cut it to about the
same height as you normally would maintain the lawn.
