The grass in Ontario for instance grows very fast. Plus, weeds. Most people here cut weekly to keep it trim. They're also usually gas-powered.

- seba_dos1 5y agoBut what does "very fast" mean? Other comments are talking about something like 15 cm in a month. That's not a lot.
- slothtrop 5y agoIn weeks with more rainfall it can 5-7 cm. If you skip it, then by the next week it looks like jungle / prairie. The only way to avoid frequently cutting grass and not having your lawn look unkempt is not to have grass. Either replace with some other short green or keep a neat garden with nothing else. Culturally people just don't do that. But you'd sooner see a trend shift towards alternatives than "just don't cut as often".
- seba_dos1 5y agoI have grass in lawn and in my experience, when it's about 10-15 cm tall it looks and feels the best. When it gets longer than that it's good to cut commonly used paths. Full mowing is good to do at spring and autumn, because doing it in summer tends to make it dry up. This way I use no fertilizers, no extensive watering, no weekly mowing and have a nice, green, relaxing and living lawn.
