Lawn Too Long? These Colorado Cities Will Fine You for It

It is that time of the year when some of us in Colorado are contemplating when to start mowing our lawn.

When Should You Start Mowing Your Lawn in Colorado?

Personally, I start mowing in mid-April. The grass at my house in North Fort Collins grows incredibly fast and could become a hotspot for mice and snakes. I am terrified of snakes, so I always do my best to keep my yard nice and tidy.

However, other people in my neighborhood are intentionally waiting until June. I think waiting until June is wild.
