Why do so many people cut there grass this short?
I will guess about 75% of the yards I cut next door to cut there grass right down to the dirt.

This guy has nice weed free grass ( the one on the left ) I cut the HUD home on the right ( all weeds ) and looks better.

That's even worse. I cut at 3 in or longer if lawn is getting scalped.

In our area, most people cut at 3 inches, but some cut at around 2.5". But I can't think of ANY reason why you would cut at like 0.5" like that guy did. And it's a professional?? :confused3:

I don't think it's Laziness, I don't believe they know any better. Now that being said it also depends on what type of grass you're cutting as to what height it needs to be.
