I've been using the 1/3 of the grass height rule. If I can get into the yard and mow often the grass gets shorter. When the rain keeps me out of the yard (like now) and the grass gets tall before I mow, I raise the mower for the first cut. Then try to cut it again in a couple of days to get it back to a normal height. Each time I try to only cut the top 1/3.

The first mowings in spring I try to cut it as short as possible to retard weeds, as the grass starts to grow (night temps around 60 dagrees) I start raising the mower. My average height is about 21/2 - 3".
