[QUOTE=alwann;2306897]I asked the guy doing the mowing why my grass looks stressed and brown after cutting, compared to my neighbor's./QUOTE]

There are many factors that can stress grass, especially if it is the wrong grass for that location.

Mowing too short is a common one, especially in the heat of summer or the cold of winter.

Overwatering is another - many people leave their irrigation turned on year-round.

Too much chemicals is a third.

The commercial companies just want to get the job done and move on so don't pay any particular attention to how your grass is actually faring under their management.
