Stripe Your Lawn Like A PRO with this easy to use tool - ryanknorrlawncare.com/product/lawn-stryper-lawn-striping-system/
What about grass clippings? I cut it pretty long and it leave hey all over the place and looks pretty bad...
I love Lawn Care! Your video is very informative and I love the Drone footage showing the transition between professionally striped yard and a Johnny homeowner clean-cut AKA your neighbor. Not that there's anything wrong with that
@courtw3231 if you're willing to roll up your sleeves your best bet would be a rake and a wheelbarrow. That's called thatch and it can actually mat and compact in your yard turn yellow gross. Or if you want to get fancy buy a thatch collector that you pull behind your mower it just throws it into the wagon with tines that spin pretty awesome!
That drone view definitely shows your lawn domination over your neighbors. Haha
LOOOOOL
@Jesus Is Able ! I 👍'd your post cuz your name on here 😍😍
Amen!!
yeah you don’t want to be next door to someone like him-
Holy shit...lawn domination....
Ya Killin me!!!!🤣😂🤣
i used to think you raise/lower blades on every pass to get striping.
Who told you this wht..??
@@Octizm Your Dad..
I thought the same lmaoo
@@sumerbc7409 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I also thought this
If you have to go over a stripe that you already mowed, remember to follow the light (the lighter stripe). That way, you won't change anything.
I'm at that time on RUclips where I don't know why I'm watching what I'm watching
Kevin Pitre I don't even have grass...
Kevin Pitre Me too
I was just thinking the same thing. Man, I need to get a life ! This is ridiculous.
Kevin Pitre 😂😂😂
Why am I here?
Me: lives in a Apartment
RUclips recommend: want to see how to achieve stripes when you mow your lawn?
Me: ok
Good story. Thanks for sharing.
Literally me right now 😂 I live in an apartment and when I move out I’ll know what to do
I live in an apartment and I searched this , I think I’m getting old lol
Watched this video twice already.
RUclips: Wanna see it again?
Me: ok
3:16 you should try sharing these tips with your neighbor
lol
Yeah,right.
Epic drone footage showing Ultimate domination of those yards around you....nice job!!!
Thank you!
Yes, this guy really knows how to dominate his neighbors yard.
Yeah man your neighbor is probably constantly cussing you out as he watches you from his window as you cut lol i mean the grass is literally 100% greener on the other side
3:15 this guy’s neighbor probably hates him LOL!
🏡
his neighbors lawn is still better than mine!
TraumaER we have a neighbor like this. I can’t stand him. 😂
@@naominlp890 Bro it's hilarious and random when people are like "Ugh, you see that guy? I hate that guy." When the guy is doing like nothing except minding his own business 😂
Ryan, I'm a lawn care junkie and I've never heard the trick to lower the deck a 1/4" on the second pass. That's awesome, I can't wait to try it! Keep up the great videos! Btw, your drone footage is sweet!
Glad you enjoyed the video! It was just something I stumbled on one day and from there I did a little more experimenting. Hope it works well for you!
Good luck finding a mower that drops such a small increment
Scag® SFC30 : 025" adjustment increments
@@juelz4516 easy I work for a guy that has a zero turn with 1/4 inch increments
@@juelz4516 You can also mow your lawn at 1/2" taller than you want the height to be at and drop it 1/2" to the height you want on your second pass. Anyone who has dealt with unkept yards has to do this so their mower won't bind up.
Accidentally striped my lawn this week when double cutting. Never realized this was how it was done...now I’m hooked and here I am.
Oh man...you're about to go off the deep end so be prepared for a long term addiction :)
This video is just a 3:55min flex. I love it
I landscape for a living, so one important factor I didn't hear mentioned is uniformity of width. Make sure to not overlap too much onto the former stripe. You want each stripe as close in width as you get it for a more uniform look. I see people at times with nice, straight stripping, but they tend to overlap too much and it looks skewed. I hope this helps.
Very true. Thanks for sharing.
So what mower works the best for that? I've had 2 different Ariens mowers and each one I have to overlap or it will not cut far enough over. So I'm always cutting over one of my tire lines.
Chad Hueschen I’ve stripped with an Ariens mower before it’s not the easiest to do but it’s not impossible but then again I got the crappy Texas grass
I obviously have OCD so I don't mind mowing my lawn. I love striping my lawn - looks great and I receive a lot of compliments.
Charles H how is that ocd😂😂
I made a striper out of PVC pipe. Filled it with loose stone for weight, and then capped it. Then hooked it to my lawnmower with some chain and just dragged it as I mowed. Did double passes in same direction for big stripes. Looked great! Never pay for a roller!!! Only cost about $8.00!!!!
Same, but used conduit and gravel!
So basically you are saying you simply used a piece of pvc and attached it to your mower ????
@@billgalyean9140 Don't think I could have been more clear.
Man, your videos have gotten so much better! Crazy to see an old one like this
Yep, this music is putting me on edge.
You made this SOOO PLAIN AND SIMPLE! Much Thanks.
Nice video Ryan, can't beat a double cut to burn the stripes in, another tip is to go left to right one week on your lawns and then the following week go right to left on all of them for the chequered effect.
Yeah you should check out my lawn striping contest I did around Halloween of this year.
Ryan Knorr Lawn Care that's pretty sweet, what drone are you using?
Neighbors often comment about how nice my lawn looks. It's because I take my time and cut it where the stripes are uniformed. I cut it in different directions each cut. If you cut your grass in the same pattern, eventually it creates depressions or ruts in the soil.
Another key to stripping your lawn is to keep your mower serviced. Oil and filter changes are a must for the life of your lawnmower engine. Keeping the blade sharp is a must. A dull or wore blade puts more stress on the engine. Overly wore blades are a safety issue. A well maintained blade cuts evenly and allows more grass clippings to be collected in the bag. If you chose not to bag, then cutting the grass more frequently is beneficial in the way your lawn looks. Either way a sharp blade is a must.
Another factor in a even cut is making sure the deck is adjusted to the same level on all four tires. The back tires are only one level at a time above the front, as you gradually raise the cutting height to accommodate the cutting season.
Remember oil, filters and well maintained blades are cheaper than engines. Regardless if it is a cheap off brand mower or a professional grade mower.
I just found this video halfway through 2023 and all these years later,still a great video,clear and right to the point w/o trying to be a comedian,just exactly to the point!
This is one of the better kinds of RUclips clip - well scripted and edited, concise, articulate, informative and with no extraneous waffle. Well done you, fella!
Thank you! I really appreciate it.
McLovin!
😄
That's what I do with my carpet in my house.. LOL. Great job that looks so pretty. I said if I ever were to buy a home I would want my grass striped but all I do is rent.
One of "The Best" striping tutorials ever! I've always respected your style Ryan, you cater to RUclipsrs who are on a budget 👍. Looking forward to more aerial views...and of course your co-star...lol.
Thanks so much!
Another method is to cut your lawn in a pattern. Make sure the mower is on the highest setting. Do your cutting. Upon completion, lower your deck 1 or 2 notches. Then cut again but this time cut every other row. It will look fantastic. But be careful not to do your 2nd cut too short. You may damage the grass. Ive been doing it for years. Tons of compliments.
Could you make a video on this?
@@marclopez1652 I don't have a RUclips channel. Sorry I can't post a video.
@@MrKfq269you’re commenting this from a youtube channel
I cut in five different patterns; clockwise in a continuous inward corkscrew(
because my mower discharges on the right side); North/South; East/West; NE/SW; NW/SE. This helps minimize rutting which for me using a 750# lawn tractor is a problem. I'd like to use a walk-behind mower to do all 19K SF of my lawn but I don't have time for that in my schedule. When cutting diagonally I start at the middle of the lawn and sight from one corner to the other. This is the longest distance so the straighter I get this the better everything following will be. To help this I find something in the distance, preferably about twice the distance away as the distance across my lawn to use as a visual guide. I line this up in my mind with a second feature, usually the corner of the lawn and then I aim for that distant point. I have effectively doubled the distance and this makes getting that first swath as straight as possible.
Thank you! Your video was perfect,. You explained everything thoroughly, and quickly. I got right to work , with my new push mower… 💪
Definitely got some yard envy. Looks good. Your neighbor across the street needs to step their lawn care game up!
For not having a kit, that's an awesome job of striping!
It really does. I've been impressed with it ever since the first mow.
Need some god-dam stars to go with all them stripes.
MERICA!!!!!!

@@ryanknorrlawncare
Only just saw your reply.
Awesome work 👌
@@ryanknorrlawncare u sav haha frl already did it😂
Cool shot above. I didn't know you could see the lines that high off the ground.
I just tuned 22 and bout a pair of white sketchers I also tucked my shirt into my shorts 🩳 I think I’m ready.
in our place, grass is a home to leeches. it get stuck and it sucks. indeed, this is a nice view.
Epic domination! You've got the greenest and most plush looking yard in your whole 'hood! Nicely done!
Nice. I just got the 2017 and used the striping kit today. Lawn needs another week of warm weather to really come in. Will post a video.
Awesome. Good luck!
I use a metal pipe with sand on my Toro recycler 22 with personal pace
I’m impressed on your video this was best video to explain on stripes with regular lawn mower thks
You walk reallllly fast while cutting your lawn - he he. Very good tips. My tip - make sure to do your edging and sidewalk grass through cracks removal before your video. I find vinegar and water as well as putting a little bit of sand in between sidewalk cracks and edging to be effective.
I have been cutting lawns as a side job for awhile now really enjoy it. I have been watching your videos to learn how to be better @ it too. They're really helpful.
I have always striped all the lawns i do my customers love it. After watching this though i would like to try & get a more defined stripes.😉
Also iam going to being doing lawn care @ my regular work on a bigger scale now, so these videos will be a great training material☺.
Glad I could help!
I also raise my deck up and down to achieve better contrast. Good tips!
You know all the neighbors are out there hating lol. There goes Ryan over seeding his lawn again. There goes Ryan mowing his grass for the 2nd time today. Looks good man, mine is a work in progress, but hope to have hater neighbors soon too.
Your commitment is put to the test with that tree in your front lawn :) Great work!
:)
I heard from a stadium turf striper that the only way to make the stadium turf look perfectly striped was to pick a spot on the wall and concentrate solely on that spot while approaching it. I have never tried it, however, but you should give it a try, nonetheless (and tell me if it works!)
I do that sometimes as well. It does work but I find starting in the corner is even better for me.
Beautiful yard! And thank you for explaining the stripes!

what lawn is that? bermuda?
im a scaper...the way mowers are constructed the wind under the deck and the direction your walking pushes the blades forward...its so it bags good...the blade should be pitched lower in the front by 1/4 to 3/8 of a inch so your cutting at the front of the machine...lighter colored pass your seeing the sun on the back of the blades of grass and the darker pass your looking into the tops of the blades of grass and seeing the shadows..in the summer in new england i cut 4 inches so the ground gets more shade and stays cooler...less weeds...less watering...your lawn will be last to burn and first to recover...as far as making a straight pass pick a object where the end of your pass will be like a fence post or base of a tree and point your left front tire at it and keep heading towards that object with your left front tire...youll be amazed how straight you can make your lines
the drone footage adds such great shots!
Awesome. Glad to hear it.
Loved this video! Your voice is pleasant to listen too! Great tips!
Thanks for watching!
I got a cyclinder mower -you cant beat them for sriping -good vid man -but its the cut that counts i find and cyclinder mowers cut evenly -i wont get into the full science of it -cheers davo
Nice I'm going to try this Wednesday
I can't believe I needed this in my lawn care job. lol thanks 😊
I’m going to take your advice. I do want some nice stripes on my new lawn. It has been a struggle this year starting with a local landscaping company who totally ruined my lawn.
Your lawn looks amazing. I need to get mine looking like this.
nice video. just bought a home in the suburbs but the previous owners didn’t care for the lawn at all, it resembles the grass you see in between highways and full of clovers and crab grass, anyone have some tips or chemicals i can use to thicken the grass and have a great lawn like this guy does someday soon?
It's not just the flap, it's the suction of the blades. Science.
Just perfect mate. Your neighbours all must be proud of You! Nice job on the video and done just as perfect. Can not wait till my spring comes. Am in Australia and it,s winter. Richard
Winter has become more and more difficult for me over the years the more I've been interested in lawn care. I feel your pain!
The drone shows your lawn as the greenier lawn of the neighborhood 👌👍
Those b roll shots really calling out your neighbors lol
lol love those overhead drone shots...it looks like your lawn is literally painted a darker green than the neighbors!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. The green color is pretty dramatic but when you don't use any fertilizer at all, then the differences are going to look the way they do.
Thats the best video I have seen yet on striping a yard. great job.
Straight and to the point.
You’re the man.
God bless
Thanks Ryan. But if you just have to mow back and forth, then how come every lawn doesn't look striped?
Thank you for such an informative and efficient video! Much appreciated!
Hi Ryan I like your point of views.
How often do I need to weed n feed my lawn??
Fertilize??
What is the key to a dark natural green lawn jus like yours??
Thank you very much I hope hear from you soon
Awesome striping!!!!! Do you notice a difference if your grass is wet or dry prior to cutting? Do the stripes come out better one way vs the other??
If I was your neighbor I would have devised a plan to convince you that it would be beneficial to use my lawn to make a “from this to this” video. I would explain how it’s great content for you to utilize and how its very conveniently located for you.
Sincerely,
Maybe Your Neighbor
cool video, My push mower had one of those Mudflaps in the back, but I took it off, Privately I don't do stripes, but for commercial I do, very interesting video, the mower also spreads the cut grass out better and gets closer to obstacles better without the chute on, bet then I'll have to wear safety glasses when mowing though, small price to pay, oh well, like I said, very interesting video.
I must either have too thin of a lawn or possibly a not easily stripped lawn. During my next session, I plan to double cut the front and lower it the second time around to hopefully achieve maximum results.
What type of grass do you have?
Cyril Thomas to be quite honest I think it's a rough mix with clover mixed in. lol I know it sounds terrible but it's coming along. I'm fairly certain it's mostly warm season grass and I'm addressing the clover now.
yeah sounds like it could just be the type that's holding you back some on the striping but keep working at it!
Its been about a week and no growth of my new grass seed, I've been lightly watering every day, didn't use any top soil or peat moss, just put the seed on the soil and light packed it down with the back of my rake
Depending on the type of seed it can take a bit more time to germinate and start growing out of the ground.
. I'm cool weather for sure. Out all them which would you say is best grass seed for stripes
I have crappy grass but always double cut due to my OCD. Who knew it would come in handy in the lawn world. LOL
Awesome! Next video...Crop Circles.
Thanks for the tip, i hope i can make such nice looking strips.
Great video and footage. Nice drone shots, and best lawn in the neighborhood
Your lawn is amazing!! How do I achieve carpet like thickness and grass as green as yours? When I cut my lawn with bag it always leaves a trail of clippings that end up looking like hay.
The best part is the beatiful hat you were wearing
now you got to get your neighbors to go along with your plan make the whole street look great.
Entertaining and informative!
Thank you!
Best stripping tips I've seen in youtube so far! Good job Ryan. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Best lawn on the block!
Great job and great looking lawn Ryan, mine is recovering from all the fungus last year, too hot and too humid all the time. Going to cut it today and try to add some stripes then put down some crabgrass preventative and fert next week and I need to spray the weeds also. Keep at it !!
Thanks and good luck with your yard!
I've been doing lawncare for 30 yrs. I've found that on the second cut or as you say double cut I raise my deck, The reason being I don't want to erase my first set of stripes. Hope this helps
.... "thats the kind of yard that makes you stand on your porch and drink a beer while watching it grow ..yuuuup" ....Hank Hill
Just what I was looking for. Love your channel...now subbed!
thanks man been pretty stressed about it it's a big lawn I put down 14 bags of it and told my client I won't charge if it doesn't help the lawn
It's really a product that does help some short term but more in the longer term with application after application. It doesn't quite have that "instant" gratification that quick release fertilizer would have. But over time the results are very good.
Ryan. Can you please do a video on Bermuda invading a cool season lawn and how to deal with it. I'm on my 3rd season trying to get rid of it.
I’d actually wondered if ppl went one pass with one blade height, & then switch it up or down to higher or lower for every other stripe haha! Can you believe how much trouble that would be?!
The amount of land that’s available there is huge! If that were the UK you’d barely have a lawn and just have houses everywhere.
Ain't that the truth , get gardens that big In UK they're called farms lol
What's that music bro? Groovin.'
Gorgeous lawn btw.
awesome video... i have always been curious how stripes were acheived
What kind of seed do you use for thick grass. How much do you put down. We have cold winters and hot hot summers. Help!!
I've always loved the way a double cut looks, i do the same thing mow at 3" then at 2.75" !!
One of the best things you can do as far as making it really look flat, in my opinion. Love it!
ryanknorr what fertilizer are you using to make your grass so green besides water
I have not fertilized yet this year. But last year pretty much all milorganite except the final one of the year which was scotts winterizer. I also overseeded my front yard in the fall and used some starter fertilizer at that time.
Awesome tips man. im definitely gonna start practicing tomorrow
Thanks for watching and good luck!
Great video bud. I’m going outside today to try it out!!

Hello there .. QUESTION? spring is around the corner..(what is the purpose of grass irrigation v.s power raking) thank you .which you recommend....
My grandson is learning how to cut grass I like this triplex we have a big tree in the middle of our grass any suggestions how we go around it
