Cut all the Grass Core Gameplay Loop
The name says it all, but the scope keeps growing. In Cut all the Grass, you start with a basic mower in the Starting Yard, earn cash for every blade you cut, and reinvest that cash into stronger equipment and richer areas. The loop never changes — mow, earn, upgrade, unlock, repeat — but the yards get bigger and the grass gets tougher.
Here is how your first session breaks down across the early game:
| Phase | Focus | Cash Flow | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tutorial | Starting Yard, basic mowing | Low | First 5-10 minutes |
| First upgrade | Early mower tier purchase | Low-Medium | ~15 minutes |
| Area unlocks | Backyard Expansion | Medium | First hour |
| Mid game | Cut power + width upgrades | High | Several hours |
| Late game | Multipliers, rebirths, pets | Very high | Ongoing |
Move back and forth in straight lines so you never miss patches. Overlapping slightly on each pass guarantees full clearance, and fully cleared zones are often tied to completion milestones and story objectives.
The game now includes a Chapter 2 expansion, hidden areas, and a secret ending tied to 100% completion — so the habits you build in your first run matter all the way to the endgame.
First Run Step-by-Step
Follow these six steps to get your first run off to a strong start. Each step builds directly into the next, so avoid skipping ahead.
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 back-and-forth lines so you don't miss patches.
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.
Buy your first mower upgrade
Prioritize a better mower before anything else. A stronger mower cuts wider paths and taller grass, raising your cash per minute with every pass.
Unlock the next yard area
Locked gates around the map 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.
Reinvest consistently
Always put cash back into mowers or areas rather than saving it. Faster cutting compounds into faster progression through the whole game.
Use rebirths and pets when affordable
As you progress, rebirth-style resets and pets boost your multipliers. When they become affordable, use them to accelerate long-term earning power.
The most common beginner mistake is hoarding cash. Idle cash earns nothing — every coin you hold is cutting power you don't have. Spend it the moment you can afford a meaningful upgrade or area unlock.
Upgrade Priorities for New Players
Not every upgrade deserves your early cash. This priority table reflects how each upgrade category affects your progression speed:
| Upgrade | What It Does | Priority | When to Buy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mower Tier | Stronger mower, wider cut path | High | As soon as affordable — always first |
| Cutting Power | More grass cut per second, handles taller grass | High | Early and often |
| Cash Multiplier | Boosts cash per blade of grass | High | Whenever offered |
| Area Unlocks | Opens richer yards and worlds | High | Once your mower can handle new grass |
| Cut Width | Wider strip per pass | Medium-High | Great in wide-open yards |
| Speed | Faster movement across the yard | Medium | After cutting power; better in large yards |
| Cosmetics | Looks only, no cutting benefit | Low | Buy last, if at all |
Mower Tier Jumps
- Best early value
- Wider paths, taller grass
- Unlock immediately when affordable
Cash Multipliers
- Scale with everything
- Best long-term investment
- Priority whenever offered
Speed Upgrades
- Solid in large yards
- Less impactful early
- Buy after cut power
Mower tier first, cutting power second, area unlocks third. Everything else fills in around those three. If you follow that order for your first few hours, you will never waste cash.
Yard Areas and Unlock Order
The yard is divided into distinct sections that open as you clear grass and progress the story. Knowing the order helps you plan your spending:
| Area | Unlock Condition | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Starting Yard | Available from the beginning | Tutorial zone, basic mechanics, first cash |
| Backyard Expansion | Clear the Starting Yard | Taller grass, first real upgrade opportunities |
| Locked Garden Section | Story progression | Dense grass, hidden collectibles |
| Overgrown Field | Mid-game chapters | High grass volume, completion milestone |
| Secret Areas | Exploration and secrets | Tied to secret ending, lore discoveries |
| Final Story Zone | End of story | Ending trigger, requires full completion |
Earlier areas fund the mower upgrades you need for later, tougher ones. Skipping ahead with a weak mower slows you to a crawl — the richer grass only pays off if you can actually cut it fast.
Watch for unusual grass patterns, gaps in fences, and objects that seem out of place while you mow. These often mark hidden zones that count toward 100% completion and the game's secret ending.
Beginner Milestones Checklist
Track your first run against these milestones. Completing all of them puts you firmly into the mid game and ready for Chapter 2 content.
First Run Goals:
- Fully clear the Starting Yard
- Buy your first mower upgrade
- Unlock the Backyard Expansion
- Reach a mid-tier mower with cut width upgrades
- Purchase your first cash multiplier upgrade
- Clear the Locked Garden Section after story unlock
Before entering Chapter 2, finish clearing Chapter 1 areas and upgrade your mower as far as your cash allows. Chapter 2 grass is tougher and pays more — arrive with solid equipment or the higher-value zones will feel like slow motion.
Beginner FAQ
Q: What should I spend cash on first in Cut all the Grass?
Always buy the next mower tier first. A stronger mower cuts wider paths and taller grass, which directly raises how much cash you earn per pass. Area unlocks come next, followed by cutting power and multiplier upgrades.
Q: Should I save cash for later areas?
No. Idle cash earns nothing, while upgrades compound into faster progression. Reinvest consistently into mowers and area unlocks rather than saving — faster cutting means faster earning at every stage of the game.
Q: When do rebirths and pets become worth using?
Use them as soon as they become affordable. Rebirth-style resets and pets boost your multipliers, which accelerates long-term earning power. They pair especially well with cash multiplier upgrades.
Q: How do I prepare for Chapter 2?
Finish clearing Chapter 1 areas and max out your mower within your budget. Chapter 2 introduces tougher grass, new mechanics, and sequential locked zones, so arriving with a well-upgraded mower keeps progression smooth.
