If I was working from home or just home from work, that would drive me nuts!!! Hearing the same neighbors mower twice a week?? Unnecessary
Fortunately for me, my neighborhood is full of retirees who's main hobby/job is lawn care. If they see me out mowing, they usually come over to give me tips or to see if I need to borrow anything.
It takes me less than 5 mins to do anyway. I powerwalk that lawn.

Cute. My uncle is the same way. Retired and VERY meticulous and detailed about his landscaping.
I don't see how some strands are bothersome to anyone though.
Just a suggestion maybe plant different grass seeds in the areas where the blades are growing faster?
To mow "just because" of that sounds a bit over the top + polluting the air around you.. A lot of work too. What about using a scissor?

Good thing you aren't my neighbor then.
Last night, someone was mowing at 7PM. Didn't bother me in the least. Overall the neighborhood is quiet, but I certainly don't mind the sounds of people maintaining/improving their properties around me. Sure beats the alternative.

whats a lawn??
we got rid of all our grass 7 years ago when we moved in, haven't got time for all that mowing, that's for straights, man!!
gardens are for growing food,if I cant eat it, it dosent go in.
You're in a rural area without grass? How does that work? Or is it all dirt/gravel?
Grass may be more maintenance but it's much more inviting and comforting like carpet vs hardwood. Concrete jungle is not for me, which is why I love suburbia vs. the city.

agree. bad lawn care/landscaping is such an eyesore. i respect those who take care of their properties, and even more those who do it themselves.
I go with 4" until annual bluegrass popped up this spring. It has spread from the back to the front. Now I mow down to 3" and have to bag clippings until it dies off in summer.
Never measured- I usually mow on the highest setting; every once in a while I drop the level down a setting but still keep it high. During our long hot and often dry summers that tend toward drought my grass stays nice and green while everyone else's on the street is brown.
I too never water my lawn. Unless you water properly you can end up with a shallow root system prone to all kinds of nasty stuff.
