Mowing Baseball Stripes
How To Mow Baseball Stripes In Your Lawn
The way to get the stripes in your lawn like a baseball field has is to bend the blades of grass in alternating patterns. The key is to make sure that each pass is bending the grass in the opposite direction as the pass before it. To bend the grass you can use a few tools and techniques. The easiest way to get baseball stripes is to use a mower that has a roller that follows the deck bending the grass. This will create baseball stripes as long as you alternate your pattern. Simplicity mowers and tractors all come with the striping roller standard.
If you don't have a Simplicity mower you can create your own baseball stripes using a roller filled with water or sand. Simply roll over the grass in alternating patterns after you mow the lawn to create beautiful stripes. Each time you mow you should run your stripes in a different direction than the previous week to keep your grass healthy and standing strong.
