Summer means that regular lawn mowing is necessary to keep your yard looking it’s best. When you don’t mow your lawn on a regular basis, it will quickly become overgrown. Not only does this look messy, but it can also lead to the following ill effects. 

What Can Happen If I Don’t Mow My Lawn?

1. Weed Control Will Be Less Effective

lawn mowingWeeds can overtake your yard in a relatively short time if you’re not diligent about removal. That is why most people also remove weeds while lawn mowing, which ensures a healthy, good-looking lawn.

Once you allow weeds to get out of hand, removing them will be much harder. Weeds will also spread throughout your yard when you allow them to run rampant. 

2. You’ll Face Fines From the City

Many cities and municipalities have strict rules about the length of grass on your property. For example, in Fenton, MO, letting your grass grow over nine inches is considered a public nuisance. If you don’t take the proper steps to fix the issue, the city will do it on your behalf and charge you for the cost of correcting the problem. 

3. Your Grass Will Be Unhealthy

Keeping grass roots healthy involves plenty of sunlight and nutrients. The longer your grass gets, the less sunlight it will receive. Additionally, waiting too long to cut your grass can also cause it to go into shock when it’s finally cut. This can also weaken roots and make your lawn more susceptible to diseases and pests.
