Stripe Patterns

We offer these 6 unique stripe patterns to choose from. Some lawns may not be suited for all patterns.

Straight Stripes

The basic, iconic pattern everyone knows and loves

Checkerboard Stripes

Nice, neat, and tidy stripes

Diamond Stripes

Modern look and baseball field esque

Zigzag Stripes

Requires a diamond stripe pattern first, then connects the two directions

Wavy Stripes

If the zigzag is too sharp for you, this is a great alternative

Curved Stripes

Nice for small or odd shaped lawns that have a curvature (like a mulch bed or sidewalk) to follow throughout

Cut Heights

Our mowers can go as low as 1" and as high as 6", and anything in between, measured in 1/4" increments.

Here is a mowing height guide based on personal preference:

Scalped: < 3"

- Not recommended for most grass types
- Will likely kill grass due to being burnt
- Allows weeds to take over

Short: 3.25"-3.75"

- Better for thin/short grass that stops growing at a certain height

Standard: 4"

- Our default cut height
- Nice mix of clean cut, solid stripes, and healthy turf

Tall: 4.25"-4.75"

- Recommended for thicker/taller grass
- Stripes will show up much better
- Helps prevent weeds from taking over

Field: 5"+

- Ideal for field/brush mowing
- Not a clean cut, just whacks the top off

Keep in mind, we do not recommend cutting the grass lower than 3". The shorter the grass gets cut, the more likely weeds are to grow, and the grass becomes much more susceptible to turning brown and dying due to weather, foot traffic, etc.
