Lawn Criminals and the Institute of Real Estate Guidelines
Washington reports the Institute of Real Estate Management defines a "lawn criminal" as a homeowner who cuts grass too short. Guidelines advise 1.25 to 2.5 inches for most grass, with higher cuts 2.5 to 3 inches in drought areas. Regular mowing frequency depends on height, with rules favoring deeper roots and better moisture use.
