Quick Guide
  • Cut all the Grass is a Roblox mowing game: cut grass, earn cash, upgrade mowers, unlock zones.
  • First purchase should always be a mower tier upgrade, not cosmetics.
  • New areas pay more — unlock the next yard as soon as your mower can handle it.
  • Rebirths and pets boost multipliers and accelerate long-term earning power.
  • The secret ending requires every area cleared to 100% plus all hidden discoveries.

Cut all the Grass Core Gameplay Loop

Cut all the Grass is a Roblox mowing simulator where the name says it all: your job is to clear every patch of grass across a growing map of yards and worlds. You start with a basic mower, earn cash for every blade cut, and reinvest that cash into better equipment and new areas. The loop — mow, earn, upgrade, unlock, repeat — compounds quickly, so smart early decisions matter.

Editor's Rule of Thumb

Always spend cash on mowers or area unlocks rather than hoarding it. Faster cutting compounds into faster progression — saved cash earns nothing.

The table below breaks the loop into its five stages:

StageActionWhy It Matters
MowCut grass in straight lines, covering full rowsUncovered patches are wasted cash
EarnCash accumulates automatically per blade cutFuels every purchase
UpgradeBuy the next mower tier / cutting powerWidens cut path, handles taller grass
UnlockOpen gated yards with higher-value grassNew areas pay far more than the starter yard
RepeatReinvest consistentlyMultipliers and rebirths scale long-term

Early Game

  • Starter mower only handles the first yard
  • Upgrade immediately after the first few rows
  • Focus: cutting power

Mid Game

  • Mid-tier mowers unlock richer yards comfortably
  • Speed and cut width become valuable
  • Focus: area unlocks

Late Game

  • Late-game tiers carry you through tough worlds
  • Rebirths and pets multiply everything
  • Focus: multipliers

Step-by-Step Beginner Walkthrough

Follow these six steps to get your first run off to a strong start in Cut all the Grass.

1

Cut grass in the starting yard

Begin mowing the grass directly around spawn. Early grass pays small amounts per cut, but it adds up quickly. Move in straight lines back and forth so you don't miss patches.

2

Collect earnings and check the shop

Cash accumulates as you mow. Once you have enough, open the shop and review the earliest mower upgrades — even a small upgrade multiplies how fast you clear grass.

3

Buy your first mower upgrade

Prioritize a better mower before anything else. A stronger mower cuts wider paths and taller grass, letting you earn faster with every pass.

4

Unlock the next yard area

Locked gates lead to new yards with richer grass. Spend cash to unlock the first new area as soon as you can afford it — new areas pay far more than the starter yard.

5

Reinvest consistently

The core loop is mow, earn, upgrade, unlock, repeat. Put cash back into mowers or areas rather than saving it.

6

Use rebirths and pets when affordable

Rebirth-style resets and pets boost your multipliers. When they become affordable, use them to accelerate long-term earning power.

Common Beginner Mistake

Players often save cash waiting for a "big purchase." This stalls progress badly — each mower tier pays for itself quickly through faster cutting. Buy the next affordable tier as soon as you can.

Mower Upgrades: What to Buy First

Your mower is the single biggest factor in how fast you progress through Cut all the Grass. Upgrading cutting power, speed, and width lets you clear larger yards in less time, which means more cash per minute. This priority table tells you what each upgrade does and when to buy it.

Upgrade CategoryWhat It DoesPriorityWhen to Buy
Mower TierStronger mower, higher cutting power, wider pathHighAs soon as affordable — always first
Cutting PowerMore grass per second, handles taller grassHighEarly and often; raises cash per pass
Cash MultiplierBoosts cash earned from every blade cutHighWhenever offered; scales with everything
Area UnlocksOpens new yards with higher-value grassHighWhen your mower can handle the new area
Cut Width / SizeWider strip cut per passMedium-HighGreat in wide-open yards; pair with speed
SpeedFaster movement across the yardMediumAfter cutting power; better once yards get large
Spend Order That Works

For most runs: Mower Tier → Cutting Power → Cash Multiplier → Area Unlock → Width → Speed. Deviate only when a specific yard layout rewards width or speed more than usual.

Mower Tier List

Not every mower is worth rushing toward — some offer huge efficiency jumps for their price, while others are quickly outgrown.

TierRatingBest PicksNotes
S★★★★★Late-game mower tiers, cash multipliersCarry you through the toughest worlds; best long-term value
A★★★★Mid-game tiers, cut width upgradesBig efficiency jumps, unlock richer yards comfortably
B★★★Speed upgrades, early mower upgradesSolid stepping stones, outgrown quickly
C★★Starter mower, cosmetic equipmentUpgrade away from the starter immediately; cosmetics last

Yard Areas and Chapter 2 Walkthrough

The yard in Cut all the Grass is divided into distinct sections that open up as you clear grass and progress through the story. Knowing the unlock order helps you plan upgrades.

Chapter 2 Steps

Chapter 2 keeps the core loop but expects solid equipment. Work through it in order:

1

Prepare before entering

Finish clearing Chapter 1 areas and upgrade your mower as far as cash allows. Chapter 2 grass is tougher — a weak mower will slow you to a crawl.

2

Enter and unlock

Locate the Chapter 2 entrance or portal and pay the unlock cost. New objectives will appear to guide you.

3

Clear the first new yards

Mow them fully to build cash quickly — higher-value grass funds your next round of upgrades.

4

Learn the new mechanics

Read each objective as it appears and complete them in order; many unlock further areas and rewards.

5

Progress through locked zones in sequence

Don't skip ahead — earlier areas fund the upgrades you need for tougher ones.

6

Complete the final objectives

Clear the final yard and double-check for missed objectives to unlock everything.

Chapter 2 Readiness Check

If mowing feels painfully slow after entering Chapter 2, leave and grind the richest Chapter 1 area for one more mower tier before continuing. It is almost always faster than pushing through under-equipped.

Secret Ending and 100% Completion

Reaching the secret ending in Cut all the Grass requires full completion of the yard — story chapters, hidden areas, and secret discoveries. Treat secrets as mandatory content rather than optional extras.

Missable Content

Rushing the final chapter can skip entire secret areas. Before finishing, double-check every zone's completion percentage and scan for any grass that looks different from the rest — odd patches, fence gaps, and out-of-place objects often mark hidden entrances.

Secret Ending Requirements:

  • Finish every main story chapter
  • Clear every yard section to 100%
  • Find and clear all hidden areas
  • Discover all secrets and unusual events
  • Fully upgrade your mower
  • Return to the final area to trigger the secret ending

Watch for strange events while mowing — mysterious objects appearing in the grass or sudden environmental changes often hint at hidden content nearby. Scattered discoveries across the yard also piece together the story behind the game, and finding them is frequently connected to unlocking the true ending.

FAQ

Q: What is the first thing I should buy in Cut all the Grass?

A mower tier upgrade. Even a small upgrade multiplies how fast you clear grass, which compounds into every later purchase. Avoid cosmetics until your cutting power is maxed for your current area.

Q: Is it better to save cash for a big unlock or upgrade gradually?

Upgrade gradually. Faster cutting pays for itself quickly, and new areas pay far more than the starter yard once your mower can handle them. Hoarding cash stalls your income rate.

Q: How do I prepare for Chapter 2 in Cut all the Grass?

Finish clearing Chapter 1 areas and push your mower as far as your cash allows before entering. Chapter 2 grass is tougher but pays more, so arriving under-equipped makes progression painfully slow.

Q: How do I unlock the secret ending?

Reach full completion: finish all story chapters, mow every area to 100%, discover all hidden areas and secrets, and fully upgrade your mower. Then return to the final story location to trigger the secret ending instead of the normal one.
