weak laser lawnmower

 Why cut the grass? Just maim it.

Imagine a laser lawnmore (see others' ideas) that didn't cut through the blade of grass, but just damaged it enough to stop it from growing. True, you'd have brown-tipped grass until the dead bit fell off, but it'd be safer than "normal" laser lawnmowers.

Note: this idea does NOT involve powerful lasers that could burn your toes. The laser is WEAK. and short-focused. It's safe, trust me!

In time for what?		   

       Grass grows from the bottom (which is why you can mow it). bone.
