The 1/3 rule is just a guideline for regular cutting. That means you
should cut it so that you don't remove more than 1/3 to get it to the
height you normally want it cut to. That minimizes the stress on the
lawn. That is only a desirable guideline. Many lawns get cut once a
week by a lawn service regardless of how much they will remove. If the
lawn has been allowed to grow real long, then you may have to take off
more than 1/3. Or else cut it 1/3, wait a few days, then cut it again.

Regular cutting like a regular lawn service is like automatic sprinklers
during a long rainy season.

Donut matter, as long as he follows the 1/3 grass-cut rule.
