What's the longest you've gone without cutting your grass in the summer?

Do you have any press clippings to back this up?

I am on about 5 years at this house. Previous house was about 7 years. Hell, I don't even own a lawnmower. Jose and Juan do a great job at a reasonable price.
Indeed, my Ryobi lawn mower works too hard after about 2 weeks.
Lawn service is on autopay so I don't usually notice when they change their schedule. There are periods when they come weekly and periods where they go longer between services, but I really have no idea how long they stretch those out too.
The entire summer.
2023 and 2011
No rain, no grass growing.

2011 is the summer that sealed me wanting to leave Texas. 2010 had been almost as bad.
EDIT - I remember the City of Groesbeck running out of water and having to truck it in in 2011.

About a month and a half. The maintenance dept of the local John Deere dealer doesn't have the fastest turnaround times.
I'll generally mow once a week during the growing season, though I will occasionally skip a week.
When I first bought the place, the seller had apparently stopped mowing after he accepted my offer, so it was overgrown. I got a code enforcement warning from the city in the three days between closing and my mower getting delivered.

Mom used to mow our lawn in Beaumont twice a week (lots of rain there). She had beautiful flower beds too.
Two weeks when its not raining, but usually weekly.

is this euphemism for something else?
If so, then that's none of your damn business.

In Houston. Last summer's draught, I think I mowed 3 times all summer.
Went the whole summer without mowing.
I live in the desert though.

I really thought this was a Texags Sponsors post
lol it does read like one, doesn't it
I've never once cut my grass.
Mow every week in summer.
Two week is the max.
That said, I think that I am down to the low single digits left for this year. This weekend, skip two weeks, then twice in October. Then, it's off until mid-March.

I typically cut on 2 week intervals. If I wait 3, it's still easy to cut, but definitely looks long and unkempt.
I'll only cut it 2-3 more times this season until it's browned up in early november.
I'd say I only cut it about 15 times in a season.

I haven't cut my grass in 24 years.
Is this about pubes?
Read Nervy's reply and then reconsider the wording of your question.

Oh look at me, my entire yard isn't covered in weeds and junked cars up on cinder blocks!

I tried to mail one of those blocks and it came back stamped with "Return To Cinder".

A month and a half this summer. Our lawn mower sheared the crank shaft off in May (yes, the entire crank shaft ). It was in the shop (warranty) for a month and a half. I wasnt going to pay someone to come mow 5 acres.
Im still regretting that decision...
