mowing lawn

Trimming the yard

Mowing lawn describes the act of cutting grass on a residential property, typically with a push mower or riding mower.

The phrase usually appears with a possessive or article: He's out mowing the lawn, I spent Saturday mowing my lawn.

It's one of the quintessential suburban chores, often assigned to teenagers or dreaded by homeowners on hot summer days.
