What about you! Welcome to another Premier Lawns video.
Today, we're going to talk about how to stripe up your law - without a roller mower. Now this video is just for a bit of fun
and it's for entertainment purposes only so stick around . . .
Welcome back. So I caught the lend of this Garden Care lawn mower, just a normal
cheap rotary lawn mower obviously doesn't have a roller in the back so we're not
going to be able to stripe up the grass with it, so we're gonna see if we can think
of some fun ways we can stripe the lawn without having a roller. So for
this video I've teamed up my old man, my dad, Chris, he's gonna help me
hopefully come up with some easy ways to stripe your lawn without a roller.
We also have Bella with us today Bella has her lamp shade on cos she has a sore paw.
A tip to stripe up your lawn and they get a good strong stripe is to let your
grass grow a bit longer. This gives the grass more effect
whenever you roll it, it rolls over more and then alternatively whenever we
roll it the other way rule over so the stripes in the grass and the effect in
the grass is going to be more. Maybe one of the easiest ways to stripe your
lawn without a roller,
brush it!
So I have a variety of brushes here that we're going to use just to see if we can stripe it.
so to create nice straight stripes, what you want to do is have a point of interest rate at the very edge
of the lawn I'm going to use these posts cos they're nice and easy to move.
So having these posts I'm going to put one in one side and one in the other.
so that was quite hard work.
I'll go down to this other post and see how that goes.
Bella move. Move, Bella!
We're a bit bendy still.
We'll try, we'll just try and pull it. We'll put that post in there.
That's much less work.
now that's small brush, while it did a good job it doesn't leave too much room for
error so let's try a bigger Brush!
Right guys, this is the first time I've ever tried this and I got the lines
reasonably straight, with a wee bit of practice I would say you could get the
lines lot straighter. Not bad. So if you don't want to be bothered with
brushing your lawn, this is where my dad comes into it we're going to see if we
can find some easy way to stripe the grass using just a basic lawnmower.
Now guys, this video is just for a bit of fun and it's for entertainment purposes only!
We really don't want you doing this at home.
We have this Garden Care small petrol lawnmower obviously no roller on it and it's not gonna stripe the grass at
all whenever we'll cut so we're gonna see if we can jury-rig something on this
and it may be a wee bit agricultural but we're down in the country here so that's
alright. And let's see if we can stripe up the grass just using a basic lawnmower.
It does stripe the garden up a very little practice the action of it cutting over, but
mostly wheel marks. It's never really gonna be anything that looks half decent. So
let's see what we can do to this mower.
So if you want to know anything, if
you want to know how to do something, always ask your Old Man, ask your dad!
My dad's come up with this way, this system, let's try, let's attach this
see if we can cable tie a doormat on the back of a lawnmower and that will create
the same sort of effect as the stripes - me da, he's actually come up with a . . . . .
It's very, ah, vert high tech, this method now.
If you're gonna do it - not that you should -make sure that a lawnmower isn't running! Right
I must say guys, so remember don't try this at home! This is just for entertainment.
purposes only
Okay so we used this here, did a sort of reasonably okay job. I think if it was to
do it again I would shorten it maybe think about cable tying this onto here I
think that might work a bit better. Every time I had the turn I had to to stop
and turn this around I think the brush in retrospect was a
lot easier although your neighbours might think you're nuts brushing your grass all
the time. But hey ho it's just for a bit of fun!
So we've cut it a bit more you can see the stripes up and down no
problem, but you can also see the stripes from the brush, not bad, let's go up and
see how the mat performed.
Not just as well those stripes just aren't
They aren't standing out just as much as the other stripes down here.
I want to tell you about an upcoming video that I have planned and I've had a
planned for a while, I just haven't had it chance to get round to it.
I get an awful lot of questions about weed grasses in the lawn
This here.
Big patches of lighter green grass is "Yorkshire fog" you can see it through the lawn.
Going to do a video about how to control those, and the other one our old enemy
Poa Annua or as as it's known annual meadow grass it's probably one of the
more most requested videos for lawn care. So that's going to be a series of videos
on how to look after and how to manage it. Thank you for watching! If you've
