How often do you mow your grass in summer?

[sugarplumpoop]

I've just seen a comment on an old thread on MN about someone mowing their lawn every 3 days.

I tend to leave mine about 2 weeks or even 3 if we've been busier than usual. In the summer, by this point, it is pretty long I guess.

All of my neighbours have gravel/stones out the front or drives, we have slabs but a small strip of grass that to be fair only takes 10/15 minutes to go over properly. Should I be doing this more often?

I sometimes feel guilty that I'm making the street look messy but I work full time and have two children under 3...my partner is reasonably helpful around the house but genuinely cannot help me in the garden at all, he has extremely debilitating hayfever to the point he can't even go outside during the worst months, apart from to go to work (May-early August) or he's suffering and it sets off his asthma occasionally.

My neighbour, who again doesn't have grass out the front, has cut it on several occasions before I've had chance to sort it, which I would do on a weekend if it's dry. Honestly, it's started to pee me off a bit. It's not THAT bad, yes it needs a cut, but it's not like we've got a skip on it for months or old furniture out the front.

Ultimately it's just not that important to me I suppose. How often are you cutting your grass?

How long is a piece of string?

it needs doing when i think it needs doing.

I find every 2 weeks keeps mine neat.

At least once a week between May and August.
I live in the north, the grass grow so quickly and it’s so wet - all year. If it’s not kept short, when you do cut it, it leaves clumps of river reed like green sludge all over the ground and when walked into the house, it stains the floor covering.

Not because I enjoy cutting grass, it’s tiresome and dull, but it is just never warm / dry enough to let it go more than five days without a bigger mess to clean…

Once a week front & back or looks messy .

Every 2-3 weeks, it depends on when I get time to plus the weather.
