[Harley-D]

I bet the best stripes in the country come from PA or the northeast.
Nothing stripes like bluegrass.

Nice job.

My mowing guys are top notch. I give them a little "creative freedom" on our high profile lawns.

does this take much longer than normal ? if so how much ? It looks great and I'm sure the client is impressed , but it seems to me that this type of service would take too long to provide to them every week , so what makes you choose to do this , holidays, or special occasions... anyways looks great -Chris

[TheLawnBarber]

I've done a few zig-zagged patterns before. I didn't notice any time cahnges due to them.

serious question..do you think the customer even notices?

[cgland]

That type of pattern is something that we do maybe 4-5 times per year. I does take slightly longer, but it's not a deal breaker by any stretch. And yes, they do notice. All of my mowing customers are full service, high end and our quality is definately noticed. They comment on it quite a bit.

What kind of striper do you use?
Ryan

[cgland]

Most of them were done w/ either a Wright Stander, Ferris DD Hydro, or a walker. Never used a striping kit.

Nice stripes Chris. I'll have to start keeping my camera in the truck with me. :) PA has to be one of the best states for striping grass.

[Turtle Creek Lawn Care]

O ok thanks for the info!

[cgland]

Nice stripes Chris. I'll have to start keeping my camera in the truck with me. :) PA has to be one of the best states for striping grass.

Most of the North East is great.....Blue grass and Fescue.........can't beat it for striping.

That would look alot nicer if the curves were longer and a bit more "sweepy" Nice lawn though.
