There are a lot of expressions around that use grass growing as a unit of time measurement, such as “he’s not one to let the grass grow under his feet”, or “it’s like watching grass grow and paint dry”. But all of these expressions beg the question, just how long does it take for grass to grow?
Well, there’s no simple one-answer-fits-all solution to this question, as there are a lot of different variables that could affect the answer; is the grass growing from seed? Is it freshly mown grass? What season of the year is it?
There are a lot of different potential answers to this question, but the best way to approach this question is to break it down into the seasons. It’s also best to assume that we’re talking about the growth of established grass, not grass growing from seed.
Spring
The weather conditions in spring are perfect for grass growth; soil is usually wet and the air is growing warmer, which is a perfect combination for stimulating grass growth. Spring is also the time of year when people are starting to pay close attention to their lawns; after a long winter, the early spring months are crucial in making sure your lawn gets off to a good start and stays healthy throughout the year.

Summer
In summer, grass growth usually slows after the boom of growth that occurs in spring. In summer, the weather gets a little drier (or so we hope!), and as a result the soil gets a little drier too. In cases of extreme heat and/or drought, the grass can dry out from dehydration. It’s not very common that the weather in the UK get’s that hot, but it’s a possibility. Overall, grass will be growing in the summer, but definitely not at the speeds you see in the spring.
There are a number of treatments you can apply to your lawn in the summer months to keep it healthy, green, and growing well. If you’re looking for top-quality treatments for you lawn, check out the link down below to find out more about how Lawn & Weed Expert can help you out.

Autumn
Around autumn time the weather gets more humid and wet, which once again stimulates grass growth. Although the grass won't grow as fast as it does in the spring, we can still expect to see an increase in growth compared to summer. This growth will begin to slow again as we reach the end of autumn, and the weather starts to get cooler as winter draws closer.
Autumn is actually a perfect time of year to carry out a number of different treatments on your lawn as the weather conditions are perfect, and it’s also a good idea to prepare your lawn for the coming winter period.

Winter
Winter is what’s known as the dormant period for grass. During winter, the weather conditions are incredibly poor for grass growth with the cold air, hard soil, and lack of sunlight. During the winter seasons, unless it’s unseasonably warm, it’s unlikely that your grass will grow at all.
During the winter months, it's not common to see a lot of activity on your lawn, with the grass dormant and most other plants laying low too. However, not everything is hibernating for the winter; these colder months are prime time for invasive plants like moss to take hold. It's important to keep vigilant, and if necessary, call in professionals to help manage your lawn during these colder periods.
