This certainly may be an effort on my part to justify how long I let my grass grow between mowing times (which I do myself), but it seems to me that, in my neighborhood at least, there are more lawns with longer grass than in the past.I wonder if, in people's efforts they have either cut back entirely on lawn service or cut back to a less frequent schedule?
Sure, the grass may be longer and the yard may not look as nice, but that could be a recession trade-off that people are willing to make.
