TOP TIPS

  • Your photo is so important. Make sure you take your picture with the sun behind you- this will help achieve the strongest stripes possible.
  • Take your photo from an angle that really shows off your pattern- can you get up in a bedroom window and look down? Have you got a drone?
  • Make sure the area around your striped lawn is free of clutter e.g washing on the line/weeded paths etc- If you win your photo will appear in magazines/online websites/social media etc
  • Go over your pattern a few times to make it stronger and make sure you don't have little footprints all over your stripes!
  • Keep your lawn well watered and thatch free to keep it looking as green as possible
  • The perfect strong stripe is achieved between 20-30mm. When mowing make sure that the current stripe, slightly overlaps the previous stripe so that you do not have thin strips of uncut grass left between the stripes.
  • Keep taking your photos regularly incase you have a disaster e.g. a herd of cows trample your lawn( yes this has happened!).
  • THE MOST CREATIVE PATTERN WILL WIN. Straight stripes just wont cut it! We are looking for creativity? Can you use a theme for your pattern or use garden features to design your pattern around?
  • Drafting out your design on paper would be a great start. You can work out the width of your mower and the area you’ve got to cover etc. A larger open area with the lawn in a square, rectangle or circular shape will lend itself to creative stripes more than a lawn with beds and borders cut into it, or one that’s an awkward shape- be imaginative! Make use of any garden features in your lawn. Is there any patterns on old stone work you can copy into your grass?
