Please explain further?


You won't get a consistent cut, the grass will mat down. You increase the chances of fungal diseases caused by clumps and thatch buildup.

Depends upon what type of turf is being mowed, at what height and by what type of machinery.

Grass clippings are natural fertilizers as they possess necessary nutrients that are available to the plant. Thatch is the area just below the surface of the crown. Normally the first 1-3" of soil. Plus, I highly doubt most lawn owners are verticutting and aerifying their home lawns on a consistent basis to fight off thatch accumulation.

Check your local ordinances; mowing this early may be again' the law.

I would be so pissed if my neighbor cut his grass at 630


Completely agree with guy on Page before. I'd make a lot of noise at night. If he bitches then boom negotiations

Somebody in your neighborhood is going to be an alpha, and the rest are going to be betas. Which are you?

I got an ugly look from a neighbor and then bitched out by my wife when I came in. Screw it, it's gonna be too hot later.




So your neighbor works his arse off all week, but you getting out to cut the grass before the break of dawn is more important than him getting some deserved shut eye? Seriously, how much hotter is it going to get if you wait 2 hours? You're an a-hole.

Cut grass in the late evening: 6:00ish.

Grass will be full of dew and take longer to cut early AM.

Where I live in the summertime.....6 am is like 89 degrees....8 am it's already up to 105 degrees sometimes.....2 hours makes a huge difference in some places.

Bump to say I just finished and I didn't start till 7 this morning. Still got bitched at when I came in but no neighbors came out. So maybe 7 is ok? Glad I got it done before the miserable heat. I barely broke a sweat. Go saints and go lsu, what a glorious weekend it's gonna be.

Must be getting old if you're up at 6:30 am on a Saturday looking to cut the grass.

Get all work done as early as possible is what I say. It opens up the rest of the day for fun.
I'm sure your neighbors have done something you didn't like. Payback is hell.

Yes and you know it is, otherwise you wouldn't have to ask.

Let people sleep in. Personally I wouldn't cut any earlier than 8 and even that is a bit early and would still piss some people off. I would say wait until this evening but college football and all...
