I see it everywhere. People scalp the heck out of the grass. Here in the NE supposed to be about 3". I have found I can use a lot less chemicals cutting to proper height and fertilizing with 10-10-10. Then I spot treat weeds as needed.

As an aside I've dropped almost 30 dead ash trees in the past few years - ash borers decimated my area a few years back.
