Seriously, I don't want waist high grass and weeds right up
close to the house, so we just mow the weeds couple times a month three
inches high with a mulching mower. Eventually, the area becomes a
lawn, as the goldenrod doesn't like being cut short, only plants that
prefer being three inches high survive.

And, we all know there are no weeds with a growth habit of under three
inches. *rolls eyes*

Eventually, from /only/ mowing "a couple times a month" the area doesn't
"become a lawn", it becomes a patch of three inch high weeds.

A lawn is anything that covers the bare soil to a few people in this NG.
