This photo was from 4 days ago and they said they mowed my lawn 8 days ago. I've got yellow foxtail in my lawn as well today that is up to 19 inches long, and this guy is saying "yea well it rained a lot". Is this just complete bullshit or is there even a 1% chance yellow foxtail can grow 15+ inches in 8 days? This is in the Midwest btw.

  1. I mowed two weeks ago and it’s not that long. So YMMV but probably not..

  2. I dunno about 4 days, seems like a stretch. That said, wtf is this picture, and what’s up with your “landscaping” it looks like that shit has never been pruned before.

  3. assistancepleasethx

    Probably going to the wrong property. Get yourself a $20 security camera.

  4. Nope. Not unless it’s been sunny, warm, and raining every day ..

    My lawn gets this way a week after being cut. We water every other day for 5 min in the morning and the grass gets cut around 2-3 times a month. I don’t think it’s likely that you have just normal grass growing. Might be some grass looking weed in there that’s growing faster than everything else.

    I’m in the Midwest, and this lawn hasn’t been mowed in well over a week. This is what my lawn looks like when it’s pushing close to 2 weeks honestly.

    lol, ofcourse they didn’t

    here’s a tip: a camera. It’s so cheap, and solves multiple problems.

    Don’t buy from Arlo, the company just generally sucks.

    Have them text photos every time they mow.
    We have a Lawncare service and that’s what we do for every yard. And we service over 60 yards

    Charging you for fake mows. Just get a ring camera like an adult

    Depending on the weather, maybe. But likely not. My yard has had a few sudden growth spurts like that this year.

    No way, I would find a new lawn service.

  12. Low-Instruction-8132

    Yup, I mow my grass every 3-4 days in this kind of weather.

  13. DIY-exerciseGuy

    What grass? Yes weeds can grow that fast. Is this a rental you dont keep up on? Can you ask the tenant?

  14. balloonerismthegreat

    My bermuda doesn’t even grow that fast and it’s growing a 1/4 of an inch a day right now. Not possible they mowed

  15. Nope. Hire someone else. Ton of companies to choose from

  16. marlinbrando721

    my yard is all weeds and doesn’t grow that high in 4 days with rain

  17. Asleep_Operation8330

    What is this thread? You know they mowed it when you got home. 4 days later?

  18. Apart-Commission

    No and why let it happen for a second time. Lawn care is not hard to find, never trust always inspect.

  19. TBaggins_

    Time to find a new lawn guy and just move on.

  20. Routine-Machine-8515

    they probably did the wrong house , can they give a proof photo for ref ?

  21. UnhinderedGoat

    100% blowin smoke up your ass. Looks like it hasnt been cut in a month

  22. Think_Catch_223

    Maybe try installing security cameras to verify if they’re really doing it in the future

  23. %100 possible. I’ve had mine do that over two days from being mowed

    It had been fertilized a couple weeks before, and had been raining on/off every day for a week with warm temps too.

    Friggin annoyed me.
