best lawn mower 1 acre image
Aztec
We have about 1 acre of land and we use a cub-cadet lawn mower. I have tried to stripe it but I cant get it to look like the pros. Is my technique wrong? Is there something i could make to pull behind the tractor to bend the grass down? That is what they do at the golf course. I mow it at about 4.5 inches. Any tips?
Answer
Stripes in grass work best on fine textured turf such as Bermuda, Zoysia, Bent or Fescue. If you are growing a turf that requires a mowing height of 4.5 inches such as St Augustine or Bahia, then striping is tougher.
Be sure the blades are very sharp. Mow often and make marks somewhere unobtrusive so that you are mowing in the same direction in the same place every time you mow. Mow often. It is the repetition of direction that eventually puts stripes in turf..
Reel mowers often have rollers behind them to prepare the surface for playing. The rollers should not be too heavy to prevent soil compaction.
Remember, the striping in turf is much more visible from above and on TV, you may have more striping than you can see from ground level.

How much should I charge for lawn mowing, weed eating, etc.?

I am thirteen and my brothers are a little younger. I am planning on starting a lawn
mowing/ weed eating business in our
neighborhood with them. Each lot is about 1-
1 1/2 acres. I am wondering how much I
should charge. I have my own lawn mower and weed eater.
Answer
you should knock on their doors and ask them how much they pay to get their lawn mowed and taken care of by some company. whatever they say, you should tell them that you will charge them $25 less if they hire you to do the job.
