@courtw3231 if you're willing to roll up your sleeves your best bet would be a rake and a wheelbarrow. That's called thatch and it can actually mat and compact in your yard turn yellow gross. Or if you want to get fancy buy a thatch collector that you pull behind your mower it just throws it into the wagon with tines that spin pretty awesome!

I landscape for a living, so one important factor I didn't hear mentioned is uniformity of width. Make sure to not overlap too much onto the former stripe. You want each stripe as close in width as you get it for a more uniform look. I see people at times with nice, straight stripping, but they tend to overlap too much and it looks skewed. I hope this helps.

@sarahcrain8083 6 жыл бұрын

Neighbors often comment about how nice my lawn looks. It's because I take my time and cut it where the stripes are uniformed. I cut it in different directions each cut. If you cut your grass in the same pattern, eventually it creates depressions or ruts in the soil. Another key to stripping your lawn is to keep your mower serviced. Oil and filter changes are a must for the life of your lawnmower engine. Keeping the blade sharp is a must. A dull or wore blade puts more stress on the engine. Overly wore blades are a safety issue. A well maintained blade cuts evenly and allows more grass clippings to be collected in the bag. If you chose not to bag, then cutting the grass more frequently is beneficial in the way your lawn looks. Either way a sharp blade is a must. Another factor in a even cut is making sure the deck is adjusted to the same level on all four tires. The back tires are only one level at a time above the front, as you gradually raise the cutting height to accommodate the cutting season. Remember oil, filters and well maintained blades are cheaper than engines. Regardless if it is a cheap off brand mower or a professional grade mower.

@Premier_lawns_official 5 жыл бұрын

Nice video Ryan, can't beat a double cut to burn the stripes in, another tip is to go left to right one week on your lawns and then the following week go right to left on all of them for the chequered effect.

@bobd. 4 жыл бұрын

I cut in five different patterns; clockwise in a continuous inward corkscrew( because my mower discharges on the right side); North/South; East/West; NE/SW; NW/SE. This helps minimize rutting which for me using a 750# lawn tractor is a problem. I'd like to use a walk-behind mower to do all 19K SF of my lawn but I don't have time for that in my schedule. When cutting diagonally I start at the middle of the lawn and sight from one corner to the other. This is the longest distance so the straighter I get this the better everything following will be. To help this I find something in the distance, preferably about twice the distance away as the distance across my lawn to use as a visual guide. I line this up in my mind with a second feature, usually the corner of the lawn and then I aim for that distant point. I have effectively doubled the distance and this makes getting that first swath as straight as possible.

ANOTHER question: the 1-4 deck height setting is almost always up as high as it can go or I take out chunks of my lawn. How do I calibrate the blade height to the handle so I know it is correct. Please. For example, if I were to mow at 2 3/4 inch, I would ruin my blades and turn my mower into a rototiller.

Another method is to cut your lawn in a pattern. Make sure the mower is on the highest setting. Do your cutting. Upon completion, lower your deck 1 or 2 notches. Then cut again but this time cut every other row. It will look fantastic. But be careful not to do your 2nd cut too short. You may damage the grass. Ive been doing it for years. Tons of compliments.
