IS lawn care a social obligation, or should the neighbors be allowed to let their lawn grow into a jungle.?

Answer 1

It is basically a social obligation, but is also a legal obligation depending upon local laws and ordinances.
I am not one who lives to trim the lawn. But I would not want a neighbor who's grass was so unkempt that rats and other critters proliferated.

Answer 2

I agree about letting the city know-most people take care of their lawns/yards. In Wisconsin where I live,it`s best to keep the lawn mowed because of them darn mosquitos,and dampness produces mushrooms,also weeds you can hardly pull out if they are overgrown. I have a small dog too and wouldn`t want her to get lost in the jungle!

Answer 3

As far as being any kind of obligation, I can't say, never thought about it. It is however in most cities an ordinance. It cannot grow over a certain height before it is considered a city nuisance and you can be fined for it.

Answer 4

if you want lawn care to be a social obligation move in to a place where 'they' decide that lawn care is a social obligation and so all must mow frequently and in the same direction ...
Or you could ask the neighboor ' what wit the grass mang; you growing a jungle?
maybe their machine is broken and you could help them.
Maybe they like grass 3 feet tall because it keeps your cats out of their yard.

Answer 5

Well, in an area covered by an HOA, it's typically regulated. In a non-regulated neighborhood, I'd consider it a social obligation, meaning you do it to be a good neighbor and to contribute to having a nice neighborhood...not enforceable, of course, so it isn't a question of "allowing".
