[@DavidRichardson-yb3ef]

10 years in as a part time lawn guy and trying to get my stripes right still drives me mad. You discover little tips and tricks over time, like 1. Keep your eyes up and ahead, not angles down towards the grass. It keeps you smooth and straight 2. When making your first pass, aim for something in the distance straight ahead, like a tree, shrub, or other landmark. Specifically a landmark that is not in the lawn. 3. As you make passes through the area, avoid unnecessary circle around trees or other obstacles. I’ve found that coming out of that circle can really put a kink in my line. I usually do a half circle around trees on one pass, and keep the line straight on the next pass. Clean up with trimmer. The biggest problem I have is making sure I keep my wheels in the right spot. I’m convinced I’ll never get the hang of it.

[@americandream_89]

False

[@BrianMichael-eh1yr]

No buddy it’s not false either. It comes down to several factors what type of grass is in the yard. The yard you mowed had beautiful grass. It also comes down to the length that the grass is cut and also it comes down to how good of a mower you have. You’re not gonna go down to Lowe’s home-improvement and buy a riding lawnmower and get stripes like that. I had my own landscaping business and I know how to get stripes

False… with any commercial mower and this guys tips(which are accurate) you can get stripes like this… But don’t expect these from a box store mower…

[@BrianMichael-eh1yr]

@@americandream_89 it comes down to the damn mower how good of a grass your mowing and that’s a bottom line I don’t give a damn what you say. If you’re mowing crabgrass you’re not gonna get great stripes. It comes down to links that the grass is a higher. The grass is the better bend and strip you’ll get there’s a lot of factors you can’t bullshit me. then if you cut every week a different direction you’ll get better patterns, but there are some commercial mowers that lay stripes better than others. And if you don’t believe that, then you don’t know shit.

Nice lines. No mohawks or beaver tails. Starting your lines going 12 o'clock to 6 then going back over your lines for a second cut at 10 o'clock to 4 o'clock left a great looking checker pattern.

So do you mow at a different height with each pass? I dont understand what makes the stripes.

[@americandream_89]

The stripes come from the lay over the deck creates. Each pass is a different direction. The sun shining on the grass when blades of grass are flipped different directions makes the color different.

Thanks It’s highly manicured by mowing weekly. Applying fertilizer and killing the weeds. I still have a million weeds in mine but it gets better every year. Check out the top comment I pinned for more info

[@alondite215]

Use more drive on your downhill arm when going across hills to keep it from drifting downward and you'll get rid of those bends at the base of the hill and across the face. The best way is to not look at the deck at all, it's to look straight ahead and drive straight at something in the distance. You should always know where the edge of your deck is without having to look at it.

[@americandream_89]

I purposely make the long stripe follow the hill contour. I sometimes do straight both ways then zig zag. But thanks for the input

[@alondite215]

@@americandream_89 Yeah I didn't get a read of the full property layout from the video so I wasn't sure exactly what you were dealing with. Sometimes it is just quicker and easier to mow on a contour, and it still looks great as long as the contour is consistent.

[@shanedavis4254]

Pro lawn care foreman here, the key is high lift blades. Your deck can be packed full as hell, doesn't matter for the stripe. You should definitely clean your deck, but stripes come from laying the grass down. High lift blades pull the grass up as far as possible and then your deck will push the grass over as you run over it, swear to god I just need to start a lawn care channel.

[@americandream_89]

Hi lift help for sure. A full deck will make you have to triple cut though wouldn’t recommend that one.

[@shanedavis4254]

@@americandream_89 I clean my decks out each time I change my blades (roughly every 3-4 weeks) and never have triple cuts. if you're seeing triple cuts you need to sharpen your blades. It comes from the blade pushing the grass over more than it's cutting it, which only happens to my mulch blades but I will definitely start checking the deck more often now that you mention that, thank you for the good advice my friend.

[@shanedavis4254]

Also I'd like to add, no one should be cutting grass that's so wet you have to worry about it staying in your deck. Let the yard dry, but I understand for people who are in a tight schedule. I usually have just a 3/4" worth sticking at all times, never have I had more than that. I also pop small wheelies to help rid of grass at the end of each lawn if it need be
