Warmer weather means it’s time to bring the mower out of storage and start planning your lawn care routine. If you’ve ever wanted to create a neatly manicured lawn with impressive patterns, now is the time to make it happen! Lawn patterns are created by using the reflection from sunlight and being strategic about how you mow.
Use Your Lawn as a Guide
Every lawn is different and will have different features that can be used as a guideline while you mow. To keep your lines clean, pay attention to features like sidewalks and driveways. You can utilize these features to keep you in line as you create your pattern!
As you choose your pattern and determine what will help guide you, make sure to pay attention to yard ornaments and obstacles so you can choose a pattern that will blend well with those items.
Allow Your Grass to Grow
It’s tempting to start the mower as soon as the weather warms and the grass starts to grow, but allowing your lawn to get a little length will help you in the long run. Longer grass blades are able to bend more easily and keep the intended pattern longer. Shorter blades will be more rigid and will straighten out more quickly.
Edge Your Lawn
Before you get started on your pattern, run your mower along the outer edges of your yard. You may need to complete two or three passes, depending on how your lawn lays against other buildings or fences.
Following these lawn patterns should help give you more room to make turns and keep your lawn looking pristine and even.
