- Cut all the Grass is a Roblox mowing game: cut grass, earn cash, upgrade, and unlock new yards.
- Core loop: mow, earn, buy mower upgrades, unlock richer areas, repeat — always reinvest.
- Priority order: mower tier first, then cutting power, then cash multipliers and speed.
- Endgame goal: 100% completion across all areas unlocks the game's secret ending.
- Biggest mistake: hoarding cash instead of reinvesting it into mowers and area unlocks.
Cut all the Grass: The Core Gameplay Loop
Cut all the Grass looks simple on the surface — the title literally tells you the goal — but the game hides a deep progression system behind its neatly trimmed lawns. 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 new areas. The game has grown well past its launch scope, with story chapters, hidden zones, pets, and a secret ending waiting for completionists.
Early Game (Noob)
- Starter mower and first upgrades
- Starting Yard and Backyard Expansion
- Learning the mow-earn-upgrade rhythm
Mid Game (Skilled)
- Mid-tier mowers, speed and width upgrades
- Overgrown Field and gated garden areas
- Story chapters and first secrets
Late Game (Master)
- Late-game mower tiers and multipliers
- Chapter 2 content and hidden areas
- 100% completion and the secret ending
Move in straight back-and-forth lines when mowing. New players wander randomly and miss patches, which wastes passes and slows cash flow from the very first minute.
First Run: Step-by-Step Beginner Progression
Your first session sets the pace for everything that follows. Follow this sequence to get off the starter mower as fast as possible.
Cut grass in the starting yard
Begin mowing the grass directly around spawn in straight lines. Early grass pays small amounts of cash per cut, but it adds up quickly.
Collect earnings and check the shop
Cash accumulates as you mow. Once you have enough, open the shop and compare the earliest mower upgrades — even small upgrades multiply your clearing speed.
Buy your first mower upgrade
Prioritize a better mower before anything else. A stronger mower cuts wider paths and taller grass, earning cash faster on every pass.
Unlock the next yard area
Locked gates lead to new yards with richer grass. Unlock the first new area as soon as you can afford it — new areas pay far more than the starter yard.
Reinvest consistently
Never let cash sit idle. Faster cutting compounds into faster progression, so every purchase funds the next one.
Add pets and rebirth boosts
As you progress, rebirth-style resets and pets boost your multipliers. Use them when affordable to accelerate long-term earning power.
Saving cash "for later" is the single slowest way to play. Money left unspent earns nothing — mowers and area unlocks are what generate returns.
Mower Upgrades: What to Buy and When
Your mower is the biggest factor in progression speed. Not every upgrade deserves your cash at the same time — this priority table shows what to buy and when.
| Upgrade | 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 per second, handles taller grass | High | Early and often |
| Cash Multiplier | Boosts cash from every 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 | Widens the strip cut in one pass | Medium-High | Great value in wide-open yards |
| Speed | Faster movement across the yard | Medium | After cutting power, once yards get large |
This tier list ranks how upgrade choices carry you through the game's phases:
| Tier | Rating | Best Picks | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Must-Have | Late-game mower tiers, cash multipliers | Massive power; multipliers scale with everything |
| A | Excellent | Mid-game mowers, cut width upgrades | Big efficiency jumps, huge time-savers |
| B | Good | Speed upgrades, early mower upgrades | Solid but situational; stepping stones |
| C | Situational | Starter mower, cosmetic equipment | Outgrown immediately or no cutting benefit |
When in doubt, follow this order: mower tier, cutting power, cash multiplier, area unlock, then width and speed. Cosmetic items come last — they look good but cut nothing.
Map Areas and Unlock Order
The yard is divided into distinct sections that open as you clear grass and progress the story. Knowing the unlock order prevents wasted trips to gates you can't open yet.
| Area | Unlock Condition | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Starting Yard | Available from the beginning | Tutorial zone, basic mechanics, first currency |
| Backyard Expansion | Clear the Starting Yard | Taller grass, first 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 | Hidden openings, lore, tied to secret ending |
| Final Story Zone | End of the story | Endgame area, triggers the secret ending |
Best Early Farming
Mow the Starting Yard in clean lines, then move straight into the Backyard Expansion. Taller grass there pays noticeably more and funds your first real mower upgrade.
Best Mid Farming
Once you unlock the Overgrown Field, clear it fully. Its high grass volume makes it both a cash engine and a required completion milestone.
Chapter 2 grass is tougher and pays more. Finish Chapter 1 areas and max out your mower before entering — a weak mower there will slow you to a crawl.
The Master Path: Secret Ending Checklist
Reaching the secret ending requires true completion: every area mowed, every secret found, and the story finished. Treat secrets as mandatory content, not optional extras.
Secret Ending Requirements:
- Finish all main story chapters, including Chapter 2
- Mow every yard section to 100%, including late zones
- Find and clear all hidden areas and secret openings
- Discover all unusual events and lore secrets
- Fully upgrade your mower with earned cash
- Return to the final area with 100% completion to trigger the secret ending
Watch for odd objects, mysterious grass patches, and environmental changes while mowing — these frequently mark hidden content nearby. Stop and investigate instead of mowing past.
FAQ
Q: What should I buy first in Cut all the Grass?
Always buy the next mower tier first. A stronger mower cuts wider paths and taller grass, which directly increases the cash you earn on every pass. Other upgrades like speed and cosmetics can wait.
Q: Is it better to save cash or reinvest it?
Reinvest consistently. The core loop is mow, earn, upgrade, unlock, repeat. Cash left sitting earns nothing, while mower upgrades and area unlocks compound your earning speed over time.
Q: How do I prepare for Chapter 2?
Finish clearing Chapter 1 areas and upgrade your mower as far as your cash allows before entering. Chapter 2 grass is tougher and pays more, so a weak mower will drastically slow your progress there.
Q: How do I unlock the secret ending?
You need 100% completion: finish every story chapter, mow all yard sections including hidden areas, find all secrets, fully upgrade your mower, then return to the final story area. The game recognizes full completion and unlocks the secret ending instead of the normal one.
