- Cut all the Grass tools unlock through cash earned by mowing grass across the yard.
- Mower tiers are always your first purchase — they raise cutting power and cut width.
- Area unlocks open richer yards that fund the next round of tool upgrades.
- Multiplier upgrades scale with everything and are a top long-term investment.
- Reinvest constantly — holding cash slows progression in every chapter.
How Tool Unlocks Work in Cut all the Grass
In Cut all the Grass, tools are the engine of your progression. Every blade of grass you cut generates cash, and that cash buys stronger mowers, better upgrades, and access to new areas of the yard. Unlocking all tools is not about finding hidden vendors — it is about consistently reinvesting your earnings through the shop as the game opens up richer zones.
The main unlock categories are summarized below:
| Unlock Type | What It Grants | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Mower Tier | Stronger mower, higher cut power, wider path | High |
| Cutting Power | More grass cut per second, handles tough grass | High |
| Speed | Faster movement across large yards | Medium |
| Cut Width / Size | Wider strip mowed per pass | Medium-High |
| Cash Multiplier | Boosts cash from every blade cut | High |
| Area Unlocks | New yards with higher-value grass | High |
Always buy the next mower tier before anything else. A stronger mower increases cash per minute, which accelerates every other unlock that follows.
Step-by-Step: Unlocking Every Tool
Mow the Starting Yard
Cut the grass around spawn in straight back-and-forth lines so no patches are missed. Early grass pays little, but earnings add up quickly and fund your first shop visit.
Buy Your First Mower Upgrade
Open the shop and purchase the earliest mower tier as soon as it is affordable. Even a small upgrade multiplies how fast you clear grass.
Stack Cutting Power and Cut Width
With a better mower secured, invest in cutting power and cut width. These raise how much grass you remove per pass, which directly increases cash earned.
Unlock the Next Yard Area
Spend cash to open the next gated area. New yards have taller, richer grass that pays far more than the starter yard, funding faster upgrades.
Add Speed and Cash Multipliers
Once yards get large, speed upgrades save real time, and cash multipliers boost every single cut. Buy multipliers whenever they are offered.
Use Rebirths and Pets to Compound Gains
As progression systems open up, rebirth-style resets and pets boost your multipliers. Use them when affordable to accelerate long-term earning power and finish unlocking every tool tier.
Do not hoard cash. Saving instead of reinvesting in mowers and areas slows your income curve — faster cutting compounds into faster unlocks.
Tool and Upgrade Tier Rankings
Not every unlock is worth rushing toward. Some offer huge efficiency jumps for their price, while others are quickly outgrown. This tier list ranks tools and upgrades by cutting speed, progression value, and overall efficiency.
| Tier | Tools / Upgrades | Why It Ranks Here |
|---|---|---|
| S | Late-game mower tiers, cash multipliers | Massive cut power and width; multipliers scale with everything |
| A | Mid-game mower tiers, cut width upgrades | Big efficiency jumps; huge time-savers in wide yards |
| B | Speed upgrades, early mower upgrades | Solid once yards grow; early mowers are outgrown quickly |
| C | Starter mower, cosmetic equipment | Only useful in the first yard; cosmetics give no cutting benefit |
Early Game Focus
- Mower tier first
- Cutting power second
- Skip cosmetics entirely
Mid Game Focus
- Cut width upgrades
- Speed for large yards
- New area unlocks
Late Game Focus
- Top mower tiers
- Cash multipliers
- Rebirths and pets
Cash multiplier upgrades are generally the best long-term investment because they scale with every other tool and upgrade you own.
Areas That Gate Tool Progression
Tools and areas feed each other: better mowers let you clear richer yards, and richer yards fund better mowers. Understanding which areas unlock when helps you plan purchases.
| Area | Unlock Condition | Tool Relevance |
|---|---|---|
| Starting Yard | Available from the beginning | Tutorial zone; funds first mower upgrade |
| Backyard Expansion | Clear the Starting Yard | Taller grass; first real upgrade tests |
| Locked Garden Section | Story progression | Dense grass; rewards a mid-tier mower |
| Overgrown Field | Mid-game chapters | High grass volume; needs cut width and power |
| Secret Areas | Exploration and secrets | Tied to full completion and the secret ending |
| Final Story Zone | End of story | Requires a fully upgraded mower |
Only unlock a new area when your mower can handle its grass. Entering a tough yard with weak equipment slows earning to a crawl.

FAQ
Q: How do I unlock all tools in Cut all the Grass?
Tools unlock through the shop using cash earned from mowing. Prioritize mower tiers first, then cutting power, cut width, speed, and cash multipliers, while unlocking new yard areas to keep raising your income.
Q: What should I buy first as a new player?
Buy the next mower tier as soon as you can afford it. A stronger mower cuts wider paths and taller grass, increasing cash per minute more than any other early purchase.
Q: Are speed upgrades worth buying?
Yes, but later. Speed is a medium-priority upgrade that becomes valuable once yards grow large. Before that, cutting power and mower tiers offer better returns.
Q: Do I need every tool unlocked for the secret ending?
Full completion requires every area mowed to 100% and all secrets found, and a fully upgraded mower may be needed to access certain hidden zones. Treat tool unlocks as part of the path to the secret ending.
