re: How do I politely tell my neighbor to stop cutting my grass?

My neighbors have a strip of grass like 20x10 by their mailbox, and their entire yard is really in their back yard. It takes me exactly 1 minute to mow it for them since I have to mow there anyway. If they asked me to raise the blade, I would probably make a joke, but I'd do it.
The guy is a contractor and is quick to show up when I need help.

Take a day off work, wait for him to start mowing, start mowing at the same time with your wang out, wear shades, say nothing.

Do chickens cut grass?

Had the same problem years ago. I told the guy and he understood. Try assuming your neighbor is an adult.

Sounds like it’s not a great friendship if you can’t tell him to chill out with cutting it too short

Knock on his door and politely ask him. Why is this even a question?

Tell him that since he is already cutting part of your grass, he should cut the rest of it.
You save time to go hook up with skanks
PROFIT!

Just tell him you seeded it and want to it grow some if he don't mind cutting it higher.

Ask them why they stopped there?

Had the same issue - planted a tree and a flower bed between us- problem solved

How can I politely ask mine to cut mine?
Posted on 4/30/21 at 11:22 am to Chef Curry
Get your fat arse out there and cut it first? Seems simple to me…

Next time yall are hanging out, just say "Man I think Im going to start cutting my grass a little higher. If you hit that spot between our houses before I do, just pop the blades up a little bit."

Buy him a nice Christmas present every year.

Why are people such pussies? Just say you want your grass longer and you'll cut it. That's not hard or offensive.
My god people.
My god people.

The correct answer is to drop a bunch of 1" ball bearings on your side of the lawn. If he's really scorching the earth then he's going to get a nice surprise. If you happen to cut it before him then just pass a mag sweeper first.
Catch him a few times like that and you won't even have to hang out with him anymore.

I think you are over exaggerating how low his blades are and you are just an OCD stay off my lawn type of prick. Its the side yard that no one sees, why does it bother you?
I can see how you could have an issue with the expected reciprocity when you do beat him to the punch and just not wanting to reciprocate the gesture, because that would lead to him thinking you are an asshoe when in reality, you never asked him to do it in the first place. But it appears your issue is simply because he cuts lower than you and that is pathetic, which unless you are right and he is going scorched earth on your lawn, then you could easily walk over and show him next time you see him outside, in which he would certainly understand your problem. But because you are over exaggerating the scalping issue you know pointing this out will make you look and sound like the OCD prick you are.
Also, you don't seem to understand why people cut their grass low. I purposely cut my grass as low as possible without scalping (2.5 front wheels, 3 back wheels) just so I can go longer between cuts. Sometimes when you cut it close like that, scalping happens. A spot here or there is only noticeable to the OCD people. You don't like it.. kick rocks
