Dear God, just tell the man to cut the bloody grass. If he can't handle that then your problems are more serious than the increasing length of the vegetable surface of your lawn.

boy the yard is looking pretty grim there. hey honey the yard would really be nice if it was cut. I really like yards that are well trimmed don't you honey? I want to plant some flowers but the yard has to be tended to first, wish I had the energy to do it.
Or you could just use the direct approach if he is clueless. Hey (put your own words here) _______ sitting there with that beer and that dumb look on your face, why don't you mow the stupid yard it looks like a jungle out there. well honey I didn't know it needed it, well duh honey I have only hinted at it for a month now.( just kidding don't do it.)
RRRR

Start doing it yourself! I am not trying to be mean. My hubby was going out of town a lot and I had to learn. Now that he is in town every time I go and try to mow he comes out and does it, he feels it is violating his manhood in someway, but at least I have learned if the circumstance ever comes again where I need to do it.

If you do NOT live together, then offer to cook him dinner or to take him out. After all, it's not his responsibility.
If you DO live together, test him. If you've tried telling him but gotten no where, act frustrated & start to do it yourself. If he lets you mow the lawn without budging, it only means that if he ever becomes HUSBAND, you'll have to PAY someone else to do it, because the lazyass won't do it then either.

Tell him the cute guy down the street asked you if you needed some help with yard work and that he said he would be glad to come down to help. Of course youre not sure what house he lives in, he was just driving by but said he just lived on the next block.
I've used this one before and it got to his ego but now he glares at all the single male passengers that drive by- so be careful....

If you are living together then you really should be able to tell him directly. This is one of those small tests of communications that will make the bigger requests/announcements much easier.

Mow the yard yourself. So do you not want to ask him b/c you think he's just doing it b/c you asked him to? Nobody really WANTS to mow the lawn, or clean a toilet etc. Perhaps he just doesn't see the need. Maybe, if you don't mow it yourself, just let it grow to waist high and then he'll take notice.

Get a riding lawn mower?
Or comment on how nice the neighbors lawn looks.

Ask him to help you around the house and then casually suggest the lawn while you do some other chore. Just dont sit there and do nothing while he works or it probably wont work.
