PERFECT STRIPES Every Time? ► How Do Lawn Care Pros Do It?!

Рет қаралды 261,963

Күн бұрын

So one question I receive quite a bit is: how do we lay stripes and how do they come out so well on the lawns we cut. Well, it's not rocket science (thankfully), and in this video I wanted to share exactly how we stripe a lawn!
Now I will say this, most major brands of lawn mowers do have striping kits, but we do not currently one run on any of our mowers. To achieve a nice stripe, it really comes down to 3 tips. Number one, freshly sharpened blades!! Number two, a clean scraped deck where you can get as much air flow as possible under the deck. And number three, going blade tip to blade tip, not wheel to wheel!
Now I will say this, not every grass type stripes! And not every lawn will stripe. You have to have a decently thick and lush lawn to get the best appearance possible. But for us up here in Michigan and the mid-west, laying down stripes is what we do! That's the "golf course" manicured look that our customers have come to expect and enjoy.

Hello Brian. My name is Rick & I'm looking to add a lawn maintenance division to the company. I seen your video about rout density & that was my goal. But I want to sign up 500 lawns for the year within a 1 or 2 mile radius & have them all pay for the entire year at once. My question is: can you cut 25 or 30 yards in a day? I'm in FL and these communities are "cookie cutter" yards that are small. How many workers should be in the crew?

I was used to a 48 in deck for a long time, and we got a 62 inch this year, it has taken some getting used to knowing i have 3 inches more of blade on the left side of the mower. The only other tips I have are more terrain related. Up here in the northeast we have a lot of clay and sand and some bumpy uneven lawns. Keeping your machines maintained and tracking straight is one part of keeping stripes straight and clean. The other is being patient and slowing down on bumpy sections and uneven terrain.

I try to pick a point reference, tree, post, plant, sewer cap, deck, anything of the sorts to make my first pass straight as possible. I also think what that customer see out their windows/doors and line up accordingly aswell. When I do diags I try to run my longest stripe/line first and use as above, then work one side then come back up the other side(middle out). I might even re run a pass or 2 if I'm not happy with it cause I'm meticulous in the fine details. And if I gotta double cut I will re run the previous passes the same way and drop the deck a quarter to half inch and really make the stripes POP. If I know i gotta double cut I will start the deck 3/4"-1.25" higher than I normally cut the lawn, and will cut the front then the back then recut the front then recut the back to give the cut grass a lil time to dry up some and seems to really make a big difference on clumping and gets the clippings finer

Yup. Same here. Well said. Also if there is alot of discharge grass i will raide the cut up a couple inch above cutting height and rerun those same lines. This allows for thr discharge grass to disperse alot better and you will not see any cut grass clippings left over...this is usually only an issue in the spring time with really thick long grass

And ur speed combined with bumps can get u all outta whack as well.

Great tips! Minimal deck gap and a roller kit. The gap between the bottom edge of the deck and the grass creates a draft /vacuum, and pulls the grass vertically. It's kind of design specific tho. Combine that with a roller and healthy grass, and you have a baseball field look.

most of them time in order to stripe you need a stripe kit and something dragging the grass in order have the grass reflect sunlight. also I would say the way you mow should point the stripes towards the house or towards whatever view you want people to see it at. mowing the grass at the right height is equally as huge too...

Oklahoma. This is June 26 and it will be 100 and humid. Our conditions and grass dictate our ability to stripe. In our grass you have to let it grow a bit. I'll cut the entire grass a bit longer than the 3 inch then drop the blade to 3 " and stripe it. It works for me but I have my own small lawn. I've seen, and tried, the brush trick. Great till the sun moves and then the grass moves too.

Last fall I commented. This spring, I have been striping like a madman on my 60 inch cub cadet ultima zt3 60. Absolutely the best striping advice ever! Thanks. No stripe kit required.... Just outside the anti scalp wheel gets it perfect.

Thanks for the tips I'm pretty sure I watched your blade sharpening video and that is the reason why I bought the All-American sharpener which works amazing I feel that keeping the angle also helps discharge the grass better one thing that I was doing that was not helping my stripes was cutting too fast I thought because the mower was leaving a nice clean-cut that it was not too fast but when I slow down a little bit that seemed to help a lot do you know if you have adjustable baffles underneath your deck could that help as well?
