I take a lot of pride in my stripes too. It's like a blank canvas each week and I do enjoy making some art out of a customer's lawn. Thanks for sharing! Nice work Alex He deserves a raise. These types of people are hard to come by

When I stripe any residential property, I've always focus on what it's gonna look like every day when the client comes home from work and pulls off the road into the driveway. That mower lays a great stripe too. With an artist like him as the operator, there's more magic to come! The zig zag blew my mind ! I gotta give that a try!

Alex should be your foreman for the mowing crew. He really shows that he is professional and can explain EXACTLY what he's doing. It's difficult to explain your trade to a customer that has never done what you are doing so that they completely understand. He did it in a way that makes me think that I can do it, and I've never spent a single minute on a professional mower.

There's a Steven Covey story about "Leaving Rake Marks" with your work. There are jobs you do when the best you can hope for is that nobody notices. Leaving rake Marks, or (in this case) mower patterns let's people know you have been there and can improve customer satisfaction beyond the necessary and asthetics into appreciation of workmanship and pride in ownership of the work. Graduate level techniques. What experience does your customer want to have with you and your product or service? Sell THAT. Sell the sizzle; not the steak!

When I was a kid, our neighbor was obsessed with his yard. Perfect lines all the time. One day he saw a bunch of us boys, including his son, playing football in our back yard with clumps of sod getting tore up and so on. He approached my dad and said "how can you let those boys tear up your lawn like that?" My dad just smiled and said "That's the difference between you and me, you're worried about raising grass...and I'm more interested in raising kids". Then he just cracked open a beer and rooted us on. Lol

I mow a different way every time I mow my yard, so the grass doesn't get a pattern. Now you have me re thinking that philosophy. There is a business on I-40 that has the cross hatch pattern and I thought they had to mow it twice to get it. Now I know how they do it, and I may try it when I recover from my back surgery. Thanks for the video.

I made this comment early in the video. Now @11:00, I see another issue will be fixed lol. You can pull them out of your ears and let them hang over your collar, instead of trying to keep them on your shoulder.

stand in the middle of large property and show a 360 view of lawn. Will show difference based on which way you look. Also sun to your back always shows best stripes. The lighter stripes are always the direction you mowed. They flip flop from light to dark depending on which side of lawn you are on. Darker is grass laid down towards you. Lighter is grass pushed away from you. Once I show my guys that it really starts to sink in.

I’ve used a few different mowers for my landscaping business and from what I’ve used I think the walker mowers are best for striping. I have 5 walkers right now and sold all my other mowers and the striping played a big factor in that decision. They are also pretty good for cleanups

Been in the business for a while. Could never get advanced patterns figured out. B/c I mow one way. Then the next week I mow a different way...and all you ever see is the current set of stripes I mowed. How do you get the last week's stripes to still be visible? If I did exactly what he did for cross hatch, even double cutting on the same day, all you would see would be the last set of stripes running parallel to the pond. I don't have anything fancy, no stripe kit, just regular blades on wright standers and scags. Boggles my mind how you can still see a previous set of stripes. Example: I'll mow vertical week 1 at 3.5 inches, and you see vertical stripes. I'll mow horizontal week 2 at 3.5 inches, and you see horizontal stripes. There's no sign at all of the previous week's vertical stripes. There's no crosshatch or diamond or even potential for zig zag. What am I missing here?

For anyone whose mower doesnt get a very defined striping pattern, they even make stripe rollers which are just weighted cylinders you can roll over your lawn in the directions you mow back and forth to roll the grass over similar to how golf course mowers work on fairways and greens. Great for homeowners. Can even do a cheap DIY one yourself to save a buck.

Some grass types look better than others, I don't have a striping kit, but I cut, then lower the deck 1-2 inches lower and just lay the stripes without the blades going, works really well

Man I have a Kubota Z-411. It only has a 48" deck and I have always had trouble stripping! I've added a flap on the back with horse mat cause the deck just doesn't have enough suction! I be tryed to get some different blades but since I have the 48" deck it's hard to find blades that are high-lift! Pluse I'm trying to mow St. Augustine cause I'm from South Louisiana and that is the main grass we have down here. Hopefully I can build a house soon so I can start fresh on my yard and plant some good grass on my own!
