The manicured look of bold mowing stripes, crisp edges and uniform color, and what it takes to achieve it.
Mowing stripes are the signature of a showpiece lawn. They are not a different kind of grass but the result of bending the blades in alternating directions with a roller or striping kit, so light reflects differently from each pass. Add crisp edges, uniform color and a dense, even surface, and you get the look of a ballpark or an estate. In Nashville, striped lawns are popular on large front yards, at entrances and in neighborhoods where curb appeal matters.
Stripes need the right foundation. A dense, healthy lawn with good color, mowed at a consistent height with a sharp mower and a reel or rotary with a roller, shows stripes best. Cool-season grass such as fescue and bluegrass stripe well, and bermuda can produce very sharp lines at a low cut. Alternating patterns each week prevents ruts, and detailed edging and trimming complete the look. We can build a program that supports the show lawn you have in mind.
