Grass takes a lot of water and maintenance to look good. A lot of places are increasingly short on water.
I let my grass get water from the sky, if it gets enough, cool. If not, nature intended it.
I do still mow though because if I don’t my city issues a fine. I’d be fine with my grass being up to my ankle, any further than that and it unfortunately becomes a hazard because we have a snake issue.
