If you live in a suburban neighborhood, you’ve likely noticed how easy it is to spot the one family on the block that hasn’t mowed their lawn recently. While you’re probably doing your best not to be judgmental, it’s a fact that we’re built to notice things like these.
While having overgrown grass can be an eyesore, it’s also a hazard – it can be a home for unwanted insects and rodents, leading to a variety of issues for you and your neighbors. For these and other reasons, it’s understandable that many homeowners associations and civil authorities place regulations on the maximum height of the grass in certain neighborhoods.
It can be tempting to cut the grass as short as possible to avoid having to mow it so often. This may be a bad idea, as cutting grass too short can kill it. Really, the best way to keep your lawn looking great is to cut it regularly to just the right height for your neighborhood.
