keggerz Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Anyone here do any lawn striping? I started a few years ago and each year try something different. Year 1 (I think they call this a double cut stripe) This made cutting the grass take a lot longer because you go up, up, down, up, up, down. So you do end up going over the same lines multiple times Year 2 Just striped up, down, up, down (no pic) Year 3 I tried to get the checkerboard going Year 4 This year I'm going for a more free flow design Edited April 17, 2021 by keggerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) I almost forgot about what I pulled off in my backyard...this was the spring after the Eagles won the SB and about 4 months after a new neighbor moved in next store who happened to be a Pats fan The backyard does look a bit different now, too.

keggerz Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 I will say the lawn has come a long way since our first season (2016): Before pics are easy to see. The "camo" pic is because I had some field grass I needed to kill. Yeah, I went a bit overboard but I did get it all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Wow, those are incredible striping lines and truly impressive rehab! I'm partial to the first image but like the free flow design. What do you use to get such clear striping and how did you rehab the lawn? ETA - I have just regular mowing patterns and had to sod my entire backyard after building an 18'x40' deck last year and having a cement truck, lumber trucks, a crane to place a hot tub on the deck, and other various work trucks drive all over my lawn.

I use a Checkmate by Big League Lawns. Rehab I use a lawn company (Virginia Green) and all I do to supplement their service is an application of Milorganite that I apply twice a year. The other secret is watering properly. As in the correct amount (1-1.5”/week) and at the right times (early mornings, not evenings) and only 3x/week. That type of watering schedule promotes deep root growth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
