How high should you cut the grass when you mow in fall? Well, there's a general rule of thumb for determining grass height (regardless of the season), and in fall it's generally easy to stick to that rule of thumb.
An optimal height for a cool-season grass in fall is about 2 1/2 inches. And at each mowing, you should only be removing about the top 1/3 of the grass blade. Consequently, a good time to mow lawns is when your grass is about 3 2/3 inches high.
Why is 2 1/2 inches an optimal grass height? Well, what you’re striving for is a balance. On the one hand, mowing the grass is like "pinching" a garden plant to stimulate rugged growth. So if you’re letting the grass get tall, you’re not mowing very much, which means you’re passing up opportunities to make your lawn healthier and more attractive. But if you cut grass too short, you stress it
