I don't, unless it's growing onto the sidewalk and becoming a problem for pedestrians- but that's only if it's thorny, burrs, just totally overgrown onto the sidewalk etc.

A lawn that's cut too short, i.e. most of them in America, is actually a bigger problem than one that's too long. Frequent cutting to short lengths starves the poor grass and robs it of the energy it needs. The grass is left hurt and angry, and goes on the offensive, forgoing root growth in order to lengthen its blades against the attacker (you.) This creates a viscious war of attrition in which there are no winners,. as tThe weak root growth means you must constantly water it more than you would otherwise if leavingt ito agrow longer, and potable water is a prescious resource not to be wasted.

And potable water is a prescious resource not to be wasted.
