When you can next cut it, and the best slot this weekend.

Nothing doing
Verdict: Not worth it
Nothing to cut — the grass is barely growing (growth potential 0.10).
Today afternoon is your first decent window.

Verdict: Good to go, 65% chance it holds
ground firm — 9mm rain over the last week, medium (loam) soil
- Worth watching: Ground still soft. 23mm rain over the last week, medium (loam) soil. A mower will mark it, and a ride-on will rut it. More

Growth
How fast it is growing, and when it will need cutting again.
20%Barely growing
Of the fastest this grass could grow. The turf-industry measure, from today's temperature and day length.
The lawn is barely growing, so it does not need cutting. Leave it — taking leaf off a sward that cannot replace it costs more than it gives.
Held back by both temperature and short days — 10.3 hours of daylight at 12°C.
- Over the next 10 days
- about 5mm of leaf
- Next cut due
- not within the next ten days
This only knows temperature and day length. Feeding, watering, shade and cutting height all move it, so treat it as a rough guide.
Worked out from the PACE Turf growth potential model and day length —how and why.
Seeding
Soil temperature at germination depth, and when the window opens.
Soil temperature in WA4, Cheshire West and Chester
10.2°C50°F
at 6cm — germination depth
Soil is warming — it should cross 9°C in about 6 days, though the forecast doesn't run far enough to confirm it holds.
Cooling over the next 10 days.
Cross-checks against an independent estimate from air temperature (10.9°C), which agrees to within 0.7°C.
Almost every UK and Irish lawn is a ryegrass and fescue mix, whether it was sown or turfed. We assume that, and use 9°C as the seeding threshold.
Thresholds for every species
The differences are small. Ryegrass is the quickest off the mark; bluegrass is the slowest and wants the warmest soil. Everything else sits between.
| Species | Soil needed | Days to sprout |
|---|---|---|
| Perennial ryegrasslikely yours | 8°C | 5–10 |
| Red / chewings fescuelikely yours | 8–10°C | 10–14 |
| Tall fescue | 10–12°C | 10–14 |
| Browntop bentColonial bentgrass | 10–12°C | 14–21 |
| Smooth-stalked meadow grassKentucky bluegrass | 12–13°C | 14–28 |
Feeding
Why timing decides whether a feed does anything at all.
Coming in the app
Grass takes up nitrogen when it is growing. Feed a lawn that has stopped and most of it washes past the roots — which is why timing beats product choice.
Right now this lawn is not growing fast enough to make much use of a feed.
The app will work out the actual feeding windows for your lawn — along with weed control, scarifying and moss treatment — and tell you when they open without you having to check.
WA4, Cheshire West and Chester in detail
Soil temperature in WA4, Cheshire West and Chester is currently 10.2°C at 6cm, and falling about 0.7°C over the next 10 days. That depth matters because it is where grass seed sits and where roots start working, and it lags air temperature by days — which is why a warm afternoon here tells you very little on its own.
Lawns in this area are typically perennial ryegrass with fescue, which is what most lawns round here are sown with. That blend needs the soil to hold above 9°C before seed germinates reliably. Soil is warming — it should cross 9°C in about 6 days, though the forecast doesn't run far enough to confirm it holds.
4 of the next 10 days look workable. As for the weekend: nothing doing. Nothing to cut — the grass is barely growing (growth potential 0.10).
The next recommended window in WA4 opens at midday on Monday 19 October, and holds while conditions stay put. Underfoot, the ground reads as firm after 9mm rain over the last week, medium (loam) soil.
