Few things are as satisfying as a pristine, carpet-like, perfect green lawn. You’ve worked hard to grow and maintain green, lush turf, so why not take it to the next level? Make mowing the yard more fun and creative by trying some lawn art patterns. Cutting a lawn in patterns makes the chore go by faster, and it keeps turf healthier and more attractive.
What is Lawn Pattern Landscaping?
A typical freshly mowed lawn is patterned in back-and-forth stripes, or maybe concentric rings. Sometimes, you’ll see diagonal stripes and a grid where the different directions of the mower meet. These are lawn mowing patterns, and they’re the basics. There are important reasons to change up the pattern in which you mow: Going over the same areas again and again with mower wheels can kill or damage grass. Grass leans a certain way when you mow it, so continuing in the same pattern every time will emphasize this uneven growth. Cutting in the same pattern every time can also create longer stripes or patches of grass.
Ideas for Lawn Mowing Design Cutting a lawn in patterns that are different each time doesn’t have to be fancy. You can simply change the direction of the concentric rings or change it up between diagonal and straight stripes. These simple changes will improve the health of the lawn and make it look more interesting.
