When should you start mowing in Bettendorf & Davenport?
Bettendorf LawnCare • March 18, 2026
As spring rolls in across the Quad Cities, one of the most common questions we get is: “Is it time to mow yet?
Most lawns in Bettendorf and Davenport are ready for the first mow when:
• Grass reaches about 3–4 inches tall
• The ground is dry enough to avoid ruts
• Temperatures are consistently staying above 50°F
For our area, this usually falls between late March and mid-April, depending on how quickly things warm up.
Starting too early can damage your lawn, but waiting too long can lead to uneven growth and stress on the grass.
At Bettendorf Lawn Care, we keep a close eye on conditions so you don’t have to. We’ll make sure your lawn gets its first cut at the right time — setting it up for a clean, healthy season.
Spring schedules are filling up fast, so now’s the time to get on the list.
