5 MOWING TIPS for a THICK GREEN LAWN 

Awesome!! I'm glad it helped.

😂😂😂

Thanks so much!! We moved into our house 8 years ago and I had no idea how to tend to a yard. It has been a fun journey and I enjoy trying to simplify things for others. I appreciate you watching.

Thanks for the comment and good luck with your future work!

Thank you, Grace!! I appreciate you watching. I hope you have a great spring in the lawn and enjoy the mow on Saturday!

Scott, my man!! Thanks for watching, buddy!

Striperman, I appreciate that, buddy! Thanks for watching, my friend.

That scene looks awesome....epic level awesome. Heading to amazon now lol.

Thank you, brother!!

@Princess Cut Lawn Care I love that you always pay attention to filming details. You're the man, George!

Thank you, my friend!!

Thank you, Nikau! I appreciate you watching and commenting!

Thank you!

Thank you, The Lawn Beast! I thought about possibly making a putting green in the backyard but I'm going to keep it all fairway length instead. Thanks for watching!

great way for kids to lose an eye or get a $4,000 doctor bill. mowers catch rocks and sticks and match box cars, hose connector ends become great golaith killing slung projectiles. read the operators manual, keep all pets and children and other people away while in operation. multiple times his son was extremely too close i would have emergency killed the machine.

Thank you, Casper!

Thanks for the comment!

You’re right! A gunked up blade won’t be an accurate balance.

Thank you! Good points.

Thank you, Andy!! Sometimes you just have to get a mow in! 😂

The neighbors gave me the looks but when I was done I had 2 nieghbors admire the sweet stripes on my lawn (still about 20 percent dormant)😂😂 most of theirs are half dormant and I know darn well their jealous

Oh YEAH!!!!!

@@lakehouselawncare1755 YEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! MOW THAT LAAAAWWNNNNN!!!!!!!!

😂

🤣 thank you for watching and for making me laugh with your comment. It has been a good few weeks on the subscriber count for sure. I’m glad to hear your grass is coming back to life!

Well, thanks for checking out my channel! I appreciate it. Your Zoysia should stripe nicely.

@@lakehouselawncare1755 My first attempt didn't go well. I made about 5 passes before rain started so I took off the attachment the following morning because I was just in a huge hurry at that point. The Zoysia seemed to be so dense that it didn't want to lay over, and that was with me using a 4" PVC pipe full of gravel (instead of the 3", since Zoysia is so dense), so I am sure I had enough weight. I'll try again in a few days and cross my fingers. I have an amazing looking front lawn, but I'd love to have some fairly decent stripes too. My neighbor has Fescue and his lawn stripes well. My warm season grass probably won't stripe as well as his Fescue, but I still prefer my Zoysia. It's so much softer on the feet now that it is filling in well. :0)

I did try striping a few more times but Zenith Zoysia is a medium wide blade type of Zoysia, and because Zoysia has a bit stiffer blade than cool season grasses, it is like carpet to walk on, but it doesn't push over and stay over well enough to hold a stripe very long. If I was mowing my Zoysia every 2-4 days it may stripe better, but currently I'm not able to mow that often.

crop circles are a way to start with patterns. major eye attraction obstacles like flower beds design your pattern around their borders leading peoples eyes to them or focus locking patterns around them such as boxed shape or triangle or a shape of wave and box ends that accentuates the objects like a fountain statue or a gazebo patio, deck patio etc.

@@aprilgeneric8027 Great ideas for sure. I really like that triangle one. It's pretty unique, even if you're not highlighting anything in the lawn. My Zoysia is so dense that I cannot mow it lower than 2 inches with my 8 lb-ft Honda twin blade mower, and that's with the mower riding on top of the dense grass. So, I have no idea what the height is from the ground. But with the height of the grass and the density, it just doesn't stripe as well as I'd like. I just end up mowing the exact same path every time and that gives me a faint stripe, but the push mower wheel tracks fake it a little too. I did have crop circle designs in my lawn last year, well, if you count the large patch fungal issue LOL. My Zoysia is currently dormant and should be greening up in the next few weeks, so I'll see if I got that under control last fall, or if it will return. I'm trying to decide if I should bite the bullet and get some Revolver herbicide. It's purpose is to kill cool season grasses in warm season lawns. I have a thick Zoysia lawn, but my OCD with the few tiny spots of green in my dormant Zoysia lawn calls me for action.

Thank you for watching and commenting. I was skeptical about hydretain but I’ve had nothing but good results with it. I really like it for my plants when we go on vacation and they don’t get watered for a week. It really holds the moisture in the soil.

Thank you, brother! It's the same camera I always use. I think the lighting was just right and it gave a different look. I appreciate the kind words.

You are too kind, Allen! I’d bet your customers would pay more for some stripes. I know I would. Thanks for watching.

Thank you, my friend! I shot this video with my canon m50 and kit lens. Nothing special, but the lighting seemed to be better than usual. 😂 I said I was going to get a balancer for years and finally got one.

Thank you, buddy!! 😂 these comments have had me laughing for sure. Thanks for watching!

Right, the reel mower works fine on wet grass. I’d bet that is a nice field. Thanks for watching!

Thank you, DieselDan!

Thanks, Mike! That is my DIY lawn striper. It lays the grass down after it’s cut and makes the nice stripes. If you go to my channel, there’s a video on how to make it.

@@lakehouselawncare1755 Thank you. I'm retired and enjoy mowing my lawn. I will look up all your videos.

@@mikemason4792 congratulations on you’re retirement. Enjoy! Thanks for checking out my channel.

Thank you! I’ve never dealt with any rodent problems but it looks like either poison, traps, or smoke bombs are the options you have.

C4 should do the trick

Yes! Keeping your grass longer will help shade the crown of the grass plant and help it through the intense heat and drought of summer.

Yes, you want the striper as wide as the tires.

Using a starter fertilizer at the same time you seed will help your grass take hold.

Thanks, steve. The kids love to come help when I’m working in the lawn. I always make sure they are out of harms way.

I haven’t used it. You could definitely use it with an organic fertilizer like milorganite.

😂😂

Is fine don’t worry about them

If your neighbors are deaf, you should be ok.🤣

@@joelanaple7509 They throw things, so it’s clear they are not deaf.

Awesome! Thanks.

You're right, most people don't have time for that.

😂 thank you! Something about the lighting that day was just right.

Good idea. Thanks!

Wait at least 2 days

Haha thank you, brother!

😂

That is my diy lawn striping kit.

@@lakehouselawncare1755 is there any video on it please let me know cheers

@@lakehouselawncare1755 found it 😂. Awesome 👏

Yes, that’s another good tip!

😂👍🏼

I only paid $0.25 a square foot for that AstroTurf, so thank you for the compliment.
