Hey guys-
I'm just a newB so please don't shoot me if this a completely stupid idea but I want to get some nice, defined stripes in my lawn. I'm in Western North Carolina in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I have several types of warm season grass in my yard as well as my fair share of weeds (which I am working on removing). I'm mowing at 3.5 inches right now and am thinking about going up to 4 inches. The lawn looks like it wants to stripe but it's just not quite happening. The quality of cut is there but no real stripes. The deck of my mower is pitched back 1/4 inch.
What I was thinking about is if I cut at slightly different lengths, would that help with making defined stripes? What if I mowed at 3.75 inches going towards the street and then mowed at 4 inches going away from the street? Was just something I was pondering but wanted to ask on here before I did it and potentially wasted my time.
Thanks for any advice.
