How to Finish the Yard: Chapter 2 Completion Guide

How the game defines a finished yard, how Chapter 2 tracks progress with a completion percentage, and what to check when grass seems left over.

Quick answer

The game’s official goals frame it: “Clear the entire front yard,” “Cut every last patch of grass,” and “Finish before your mom gets home,” with “Beat your best time” as the replay target. In Chapter 2 play, that means cutting through successive layers of growth, clearing side areas like the backyard and soccer field, and using the on-screen completion percentage to see how much grass is left.

  • Growth clears in successive layers — a mowed-looking area can still need another pass.
  • The completion percentage readout is the observed in-run check for how much grass remains.
  • Money collected during the run buys tool upgrades, and the mom-gets-home timer counts down throughout.

What the game counts as finishing the yard

The official Roblox listing for [🧪 CHAPTER 2] Cut all the Grass! (creator: Lawn Lovers) sets the premise — “you woke up from a LONG nap…” and “the entire front yard still needs to be cut” — and then lists exactly what a run is supposed to accomplish:

  • “Clear the entire front yard”
  • “Cut every last patch of grass”
  • “Finish before your mom gets home”
  • “Beat your best time”

So by the game’s own framing, a finished yard means the entire front yard cleared and every last patch of grass cut, under the mom-gets-home timer, with beating your best time as the replay goal. A third-party Japanese game page describes the same framing — 「母親が帰ってくるまでに前庭の草をすべて刈る…制限時間内のクリアやベストタイム更新を目指します」, i.e., mow the front yard’s grass before mother comes home, aiming to clear within the time limit and update your best time (translated from Japanese; it is a paraphrase, not official game text).

How Chapter 2 tracks progress toward a full clear

The details below come from player-observed gameplay footage with auto-transcribed commentary, not from developer documentation:

  • The run carries an overall completion percentage. Late in the session, the player reads, “We are nearly done. We’re on 84%” — the only observed in-run check for how much grass remains.
  • Growth clears in layers. The player works through “this layer of four walls” and asks, “Is this the final layer after this?” — so an area that already looks mowed can still be sitting under another layer of growth.
  • Extra areas come up along the way: “Here’s the backyard” and “We have did the soccer field” both get cleared during the run.
  • Money collected during the run buys tool upgrades, and the timer counts down against the mom-gets-home deadline (“We only got 25 minutes until mom gets…”).

For scale, the early portion of that run shows roughly 30 minutes already spent clearing before the endgame percentage check.

What happens when the yard is complete

In the same playthrough, after working through what he believed was the last layer of growth — “I’m cleaning up this layer of four walls. Is this the final layer after this? That will be great.” — the player reports, “And then I completed the entire game.”

That is one player’s account of finishing, not a documented completion event. What the game actually presents at that point — a screen, a reward, an ending — isn’t described in the account, so don’t treat full completion as coming with any specific payoff beyond reaching that moment.

Common completion blockers

  • Unsettled scope of the clear. The official listing frames the goal as the front yard (“Clear the entire front yard”), while the Chapter 2 playthrough also clears a backyard and a soccer field before the player reports completing the entire game. The two don’t agree on whether Chapter 2 full completion requires only the front yard or the extra areas as well — watch what the completion percentage includes on your own run before calling the yard done.
  • Leftover layers of growth. Because growth clears in successive layers, a patch that looks cut can still need another pass. If the percentage stops moving, re-mow the area rather than assuming it’s finished.
  • The mom-gets-home timer. The stated goal is to finish before your mom gets home, and the observed deadline counts down in minutes. Get coverage right first — “Beat your best time” only applies once every required patch is gone.
  • Chapter 2 is in testing. The listing title carries a 🧪 testing marker, so completion behavior and mowing mechanics can change with updates — recheck the percentage readout’s behavior after any game or chapter update.
