How to Play Cut all the Grass: The Basics
Cut all the Grass is a Roblox mowing game with a goal that is simple in name but big in scope: clear every patch of grass across a growing map of yards and worlds. You start with a basic mower, earn cash for every blade you cut, and reinvest that cash into better equipment and new areas. The game is playable on PC and mobile, and progress saves automatically on the official Roblox game page.
What you do on your first session:
- Mow the grass around spawn to earn your first cash
- Open the shop and buy the earliest mower upgrade
- Unlock the first gated yard area once you can afford it
- Keep reinvesting cash to compound your earning speed
Move in straight back-and-forth lines across the yard. Random wandering leaves missed patches that you will have to revisit, and incomplete zones block 100% completion later.
Step-by-Step: Your First Run
Follow these steps to get your first run off to a strong start.
Cut grass in the starting yard
Begin mowing the grass directly around spawn. Early grass gives small amounts of cash per cut, but it adds up quickly. Move in straight 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 look at 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, letting you earn cash faster 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, since faster cutting compounds into faster progression.
Use rebirth and pet systems
As you progress, rebirth-style resets and pets boost your multipliers. When they become affordable, use them to accelerate long-term earning power.
Do not hoard cash waiting for a "perfect" purchase. The starter mower is only useful in the first yard — upgrade immediately and keep the cash flowing into equipment and area unlocks.
Mowers and Upgrades: What to Buy First
Your mower is the single biggest factor in how fast you progress. Upgrading cutting power, speed, and width lets you clear larger yards in less time, which means more cash per minute.
| Upgrade Category | What It Does | Priority | When to Buy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mower Tier | Stronger mower, higher power, 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 earned per blade cut | High | Whenever offered |
| Area Unlocks | Opens new yards with higher-value grass | High | When your mower can handle the new area |
| Cut Width / Size | Wider strip cut in a single pass | Medium-High | Great in wide-open yards |
| Speed | Faster movement across the yard | Medium | After cutting power; better in large yards |
Early Game (First Yard)
- Buy: First mower tier upgrade
- Focus: Cutting power
- Skip: Cosmetics and speed
Mid Game (New Yards)
- Buy: Mid-tier mowers, cut width
- Focus: Area unlocks with richer grass
- Add: Speed upgrades for large yards
Late Game
- Buy: Cash multipliers, top mower tiers
- Focus: Rebirths and pets
- Goal: 100% zone completion
Cash multiplier upgrades scale with everything else you own. Whenever one is offered, it is usually the strongest long-term investment in the game.
Zones and Chapter 2 Progression
The yard is divided into distinct sections that open as you clear grass and progress through the story. Each new area pays more than the last, so unlocking them early accelerates everything.
| Zone | 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 upgrades |
| 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 |
Chapter 2 expectations: the core loop stays the same — mow, earn, upgrade — but the new content expects solid equipment. Finish clearing Chapter 1 areas and max out your mower before entering, because Chapter 2 grass is tougher and a weak mower will slow you to a crawl. Work through each locked zone in sequence; earlier areas fund the upgrades you need for later ones.
Progress through Chapter 2 zones in order. Skipping ahead leaves you under-equipped for tougher grass and forces slow, expensive backtracking.
100% Completion and the Secret Ending
Reaching the secret ending requires full completion of the yard: story chapters, hidden areas, and secret discoveries. Treat secrets as mandatory content rather than optional extras if you want the true ending.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Main story chapters | Complete every chapter fully |
| Every yard section | Each zone mowed to 100% on the grass meter |
| Hidden areas | Find concealed openings and locked gates |
| Secrets and events | Investigate strange objects and unusual grass patches |
| Full mower upgrades | Some hidden zones may require a maxed mower |
| Final zone return | Full completion triggers the secret ending |
Secret Ending Checklist:
- Finish all main story chapters
- Mow every zone to 100%
- Discover all hidden areas
- Fully upgrade your mower
- Return to the final story area
Unusual grass patterns, gaps in fences, and out-of-place objects often mark hidden areas and story secrets. Stop and check them — many count toward the secret ending.
