If you have St Augustine everything I've ever read is to cut it as high as possible. I've seen from 3 1/2 to 4 inches is recommended. Since I've been mowing myself and cutting it at 4 inches my grass is looking a lot better. Most of it hasn't reached 4 inches yet but it's been scalped too short by Dean's for 3 years and taking a little time to recover.
