I've been noticing something strange since the weather has turned a bit cooler and wetter this autumn. After my husband and I replaced a damaged section of our lawn back in June—due to grubs destroying half of it—we've been keeping up with maintenance, and now it seems like the grass is growing like crazy! I've been mowing every single week, which feels unusual since I thought grass typically slows down as we approach winter. Is anyone else experiencing this rapid growth? Am I the only one having to deal with a lawnmower every week during this season?

This is pretty normal for autumn! Grass grows best in cooler seasons when there's increased moisture. We’re definitely in that 'autumn spurt' period now, so you can expect it to continue for a bit. Just enjoy the lush growth while it lasts—come winter, things will slow down significantly!
You're not alone! A lot of lawns are thriving right now due to perfect conditions—warm temperatures and plenty of rain. As long as your soil is still moist and not too cold (above 8-10°C), grass can keep growing. It's actually a great time for lawn renovations too; many gardeners are seeding and overseeding right now. Just keep an eye out for the last cuts of the season as the weather changes!
Absolutely! I’ve noticed my grass is looking amazing after a tough summer. We’re even planning to redo some areas next spring since the new grass has been flourishing.
I'm in the same boat! I've been cutting my grass every week lately. With the recent rain and mild temperatures, it's definitely not just you seeing this rapid growth. Grass loves a good drink after a dry spell, and as long as it stays mild, we can expect it to keep pushing out new growth.
Wow, I'm surprised it’s still growing like this! My lawn looked horrible when we moved in, but after treating it, it's transforming beautifully.
Exactly, it’s all about those conditions. I’d rather be mowing now than during the heat of summer when the grass was stressed!
