@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!
That drone view definitely shows your lawn domination over your neighbors. Haha

Yeah man your neighbor is probably constantly cussing you out as he watches you from his window as you cut lol i mean the grass is literally 100% greener on the other side
If you have to go over a stripe that you already mowed, remember to follow the light (the lighter stripe). That way, you won't change anything.
This video is just a 3:55min flex. I love it
i used to think you raise/lower blades on every pass to get striping.

Beautiful yard! And thank you for explaining the stripes!
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.

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.
Awesome tips man. im definitely gonna start practicing tomorrow

Beautiful home! Dope video man🤙🏽
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.

Thanks for the tip, i hope i can make such nice looking strips.
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.
I made a striper out of PVC pipe. Filled it with loose stone for weight, and then capped it. Then hooked it to my lawnmower with some chain and just dragged it as I mowed. Did double passes in same direction for big stripes. Looked great! Never pay for a roller!!! Only cost about $8.00!!!!

You walk reallllly fast while cutting your lawn - he he. Very good tips. My tip - make sure to do your edging and sidewalk grass through cracks removal before your video. I find vinegar and water as well as putting a little bit of sand in between sidewalk cracks and edging to be effective.
I have been cutting lawns as a side job for awhile now really enjoy it. I have been watching your videos to learn how to be better @ it too. They're really helpful. I have always striped all the lawns i do my customers love it. After watching this though i would like to try & get a more defined stripes.😉 Also iam going to being doing lawn care @ my regular work on a bigger scale now, so these videos will be a great training material☺.

cool video, My push mower had one of those Mudflaps in the back, but I took it off, Privately I don't do stripes, but for commercial I do, very interesting video, the mower also spreads the cut grass out better and gets closer to obstacles better without the chute on, bet then I'll have to wear safety glasses when mowing though, small price to pay, oh well, like I said, very interesting video.
