Some people mow twice a week. Lawn is basically their hobby.

I usually have to mow once a week when we’re not in drought, otherwise the lawn gets too high, but during the heat of summer I don’t have to mow at all because the grass goes dormant.

Much, much less. The city I live in wants to promote biodiversity and has adapted their mowing schedule for this. Large parts of public greenery are only mowed once or twice per year. Other parts 6 times a year. Some parts are mowed 20 times a year, e.g. fields for kids to play on, or where it would be a safety issue (e.g. high growth blocking view around a corner), but that’s just a small portion.

Also in some parts they only partially mow, to create spaces where there are different heights of greenery. They also sowed a lot of mixed flowers, which looks really nice.

Before I bought a house, I only knew once a week when I was growing up. Seemed to be based on the neighborhood (upper Midwest).

So lawns are the reason people don’t vote. They are distracted by mowing. And the ruling class likes it. I get it.

I highly reccomend using native species. They are better for pollinators

We have white clover and if unchecked it grows above your shoes and leaves walking paths.

I still prefer it to grass but I do mow it occasionally. It bounces back quickly and seems happy.

It’s very fluffy in the summer which is a great vibe for the lawn.
