If search worked good I wouldn't have to ask this which im sure has been done many times before. Is there a best cutting height to set my 52'' Husqvarna zero on for a southern fescue lawn that gets cut by weekly?

Maintain or cut Fescue at a height of 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches, you can let it grow to 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 inches before cutting.

That might be what a diagram say but I can tell you it needs to be cut at 3 1/2 inches or higher. Due to the stress from the hot dry months.

What Is the Proper Mowing Height for Grass in Your Yard? | Today's Homeowner


Turf-type fescue can look very good when regularly mowed at 2.5 inches. Allow it to grow to 3.75 inches before mowing.
Mowing fescue too low leads to the grass rapidly thinning out and having a very clumpy look. If you fertilize moderately, mowing a lawn should only be needed once per week.

I'm working with a company that just installed a fescue Lawn for one of my clients and there telling me the same thing.

I understand what is being discussed but I live in the south where not every home is a 1/4 acre yard or less with a built in sprinkler system.

So, I'm about as far south as you can get and I get the same answers from company's that install the stuff as I get online and the OP is in Georgia.
