Lawn Striping Made Easy

For hundreds of years the well-maintained lawn has been a status symbol for landowners. Over this time, the process for obtaining a pristine property has evolved significantly, progressing from the days of hand trimming and primitive tools like scythes to the high-end power equipment and technology of modern yard work. Despite the changes and developments in private landscaping, lawn striping has remained one of the most noticeable methods of distinguishing one’s property.

Though a distinct and popular way to elevate an outdoor space, lawn striping is far less common on residential lawns, seen more often on professionally maintained fields or commercial properties. As the responsibility for residential lawn care and upkeep falls primarily on homeowners, the meticulous and time-consuming work often required to achieve a consistently well-lined yard usually prevents most properties from attaining this look.  However, now there is a surface that provides perfect lawn striping all year long — Mow Lines by ForeverLawn.

Lawn striping is typically achieved through use of a mower and roller attachment. As the roller trails the mower, grass blades are forced to lay in the direction the attachment directs. Once the sun hits these blades, a visual contrast is created between blades laying in different directions, giving the impression of a patterned lawn. These can be simple alternating lines or more complex patterns, like diamonds or waves. With the unique and distinguishing appearance lawn striping provides, there are still several challenges presented in maintaining this aesthetic.

As mentioned previously, achieving striping requires the use of powered lawn equipment and rollers. To keep lines crisp and orderly, additional tools and resources such as edgers, weeders, chemicals, and fertilizers may be necessary. Some methods of decreasing upkeep frequency, like sprinkler systems, may save time but can drastically increase costs. And regardless of the work done to keep the grass patterns pristine, weather and heavy use can undo the meticulous efforts and force even more maintenance upon homeowners. When factoring in the time, effort, resources, and money required to attain and uphold lawn striping, it is clear that there are significant challenges and barriers.

In order to combat these obstacles, ForeverLawn created Mow Lines — the first synthetic grass of its kind in the turf industry. Specifically engineered for aesthetic appeal and durability, Mow Lines combines three vibrant greens for an overlapping argyle pattern, creating the ideal blend of luxury and functionality. The argyle pattern mimics the look of natural lawn striping all year long without the need for constant maintenance or investment.

While designed to maximize the appeal of upscale residential properties, Mow Lines is also perfect for transforming sports fields, public spaces, and commercial areas. Companies, public facilities and institutions, and hotels and resorts can all benefit from the curb appeal and reduced maintenance costs. Mow Lines is also built to withstand even the most inclement weather, making it the ideal choice for event spaces and areas that see heavy traffic.

Though evergreen lawn striping is the primary benefit of Mow Lines, the product offers numerous additional advantages. Being made from two different types of blades (monofilament and slit film), Mow Lines provides both a realistic appearance and a durable surface that will last for years. Synthetic grass also offers a positive environmental impact by reducing water waste, eliminating chemical runoff and emissions, and improving erosion control. In concert with premium products, ForeverLawn has an expansive dealer network operating across the country to provide expert installation and unrivaled customer service, ensuring an outstanding Mow Lines experience.

Acquiring professional, clean lawn striping no longer means intensive maintenance, significant costs, and extended hours of labor — your dream lawn is possible with Mow Lines by ForeverLawn. Whether in need of a solution for your home or business, Mow Lines delivers consistent results with minimal effort. Want to learn more?
