    Best way is to find yourself on old Simplicity garden tractor, rebuild as needed then the stripes are there. That's all I use on my lawn. It was built in 1974.

    Zero turn mower turns in it's own length.

    To stripe a lawn, mark it off in two-foot stripes. Spread high nitrogen fertilizer on the first strip and Roundup on the second. Repeat alternating fertilizer and weed killer until whole lawn is covered.

    I had a neighbor who had a terrible looking lawn. One day they weren't home and I was fertilizing my yard with a drop spreader. When I finished, I had some left over and went to their yard and dropped fertilizer in the shape of a skull and crossbones. After the next rain, they fertilized their whole yard.

    I have a fascination about the racing stripe cut. Something I'll always admire about the elegance , evenness and precision of it.

    LOL lawn that makes money, ha ha. I usually mow my lawn at slightly different heights and it turns out exactly the same lawn as on a football field.
    So my friend shared with me where I liked some sprinklers that somehow keep track of your lawn height and water it, fully automated. It helps me keep an eye on this kind of lawn. However, if you do not mow the lawn for a long time, all this relief and pattern with stripes will disappear very quickly, and then you will have to pass with a lawnmower a couple of times (usually twice)
    By the way, the nozzles on the lawn mower do not do it very nicely , I prefer to do it manually.
