What about grass clippings? I cut it pretty long and it leave hey all over the place and looks pretty bad...
I love Lawn Care! Your video is very informative and I love the Drone footage showing the transition between professionally striped yard and a Johnny homeowner clean-cut AKA your neighbor. Not that there's anything wrong with that
@courtw3231 if you're willing to roll up your sleeves your best bet would be a rake and a wheelbarrow. That's called thatch and it can actually mat and compact in your yard turn yellow gross. Or if you want to get fancy buy a thatch collector that you pull behind your mower it just throws it into the wagon with tines that spin pretty awesome!
That drone view definitely shows your lawn domination over your neighbors. Haha
LOOOOOL
@Jesus Is Able ! I 👍'd your post cuz your name on here 😍😍
Amen!!
yeah you don’t want to be next door to someone like him-
Holy shit...lawn domination....
Ya Killin me!!!!🤣😂🤣
If you have to go over a stripe that you already mowed, remember to follow the light (the lighter stripe). That way, you won't change anything.
I'm at that time on CZcams where I don't know why I'm watching what I'm watching
Kevin Pitre I don't even have grass...
Kevin Pitre Me too
I was just thinking the same thing. Man, I need to get a life ! This is ridiculous.
Kevin Pitre 😂😂😂
Why am I here?
Epic drone footage showing Ultimate domination of those yards around you....nice job!!!
Thank you!
Yes, this guy really knows how to dominate his neighbors yard.
Yeah man your neighbor is probably constantly cussing you out as he watches you from his window as you cut lol i mean the grass is literally 100% greener on the other side
i used to think you raise/lower blades on every pass to get striping.
Who told you this wht..??
@@Octizm Your Dad..
I thought the same lmaoo
@@sumerbc7409 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I also thought this
Me: lives in a Apartment
CZcams recommend: want to see how to achieve stripes when you mow your lawn?
Me: ok
Good story. Thanks for sharing.
Literally me right now 😂 I live in an apartment and when I move out I’ll know what to do
I live in an apartment and I searched this , I think I’m getting old lol
Watched this video twice already.
CZcams: Wanna see it again?
Me: ok
3:16 you should try sharing these tips with your neighbor
lol
Yeah,right.
This video is just a 3:55min flex. I love it
3:15 this guy’s neighbor probably hates him LOL!
🏡
his neighbors lawn is still better than mine!
TraumaER we have a neighbor like this. I can’t stand him. 😂
@@naominlp890 Bro it's hilarious and random when people are like "Ugh, you see that guy? I hate that guy." When the guy is doing like nothing except minding his own business 😂
Ryan, I'm a lawn care junkie and I've never heard the trick to lower the deck a 1/4" on the second pass. That's awesome, I can't wait to try it! Keep up the great videos! Btw, your drone footage is sweet!
Glad you enjoyed the video! It was just something I stumbled on one day and from there I did a little more experimenting. Hope it works well for you!
Good luck finding a mower that drops such a small increment
Scag® SFC30 : 025" adjustment increments
@@juelz4516 easy I work for a guy that has a zero turn with 1/4 inch increments
@@juelz4516 You can also mow your lawn at 1/2" taller than you want the height to be at and drop it 1/2" to the height you want on your second pass. Anyone who has dealt with unkept yards has to do this so their mower won't bind up.
Accidentally striped my lawn this week when double cutting. Never realized this was how it was done...now I’m hooked and here I am.
Oh man...you're about to go off the deep end so be prepared for a long term addiction :)
I landscape for a living, so one important factor I didn't hear mentioned is uniformity of width. Make sure to not overlap too much onto the former stripe. You want each stripe as close in width as you get it for a more uniform look. I see people at times with nice, straight stripping, but they tend to overlap too much and it looks skewed. I hope this helps.
Very true. Thanks for sharing.
So what mower works the best for that? I've had 2 different Ariens mowers and each one I have to overlap or it will not cut far enough over. So I'm always cutting over one of my tire lines.
Chad Hueschen I’ve stripped with an Ariens mower before it’s not the easiest to do but it’s not impossible but then again I got the crappy Texas grass
I obviously have OCD so I don't mind mowing my lawn. I love striping my lawn - looks great and I receive a lot of compliments.
Charles H how is that ocd😂😂
You made this SOOO PLAIN AND SIMPLE! Much Thanks.
Thank you! Your video was perfect,. You explained everything thoroughly, and quickly. I got right to work , with my new push mower… 💪
Man, your videos have gotten so much better! Crazy to see an old one like this
Yep, this music is putting me on edge.
One of "The Best" striping tutorials ever! I've always respected your style Ryan, you cater to CZcamsrs who are on a budget 👍. Looking forward to more aerial views...and of course your co-star...lol.
Thanks so much!
Epic domination! You've got the greenest and most plush looking yard in your whole 'hood! Nicely done!
This is one of the better kinds of CZcams clip - well scripted and edited, concise, articulate, informative and with no extraneous waffle. Well done you, fella!
Thank you! I really appreciate it.

what lawn is that? bermuda?
Beautiful yard! And thank you for explaining the stripes!
McLovin!
😄
I’m impressed on your video this was best video to explain on stripes with regular lawn mower thks
Your lawn looks amazing. I need to get mine looking like this.
Definitely got some yard envy. Looks good. Your neighbor across the street needs to step their lawn care game up!
I just found this video halfway through 2023 and all these years later,still a great video,clear and right to the point w/o trying to be a comedian,just exactly to the point!
Thats the best video I have seen yet on striping a yard. great job.
That's what I do with my carpet in my house.. LOL. Great job that looks so pretty. I said if I ever were to buy a home I would want my grass striped but all I do is rent.
I made a striper out of PVC pipe. Filled it with loose stone for weight, and then capped it. Then hooked it to my lawnmower with some chain and just dragged it as I mowed. Did double passes in same direction for big stripes. Looked great! Never pay for a roller!!! Only cost about $8.00!!!!
Same, but used conduit and gravel!
So basically you are saying you simply used a piece of pvc and attached it to your mower ????
@@billgalyean9140 Don't think I could have been more clear.
Loved this video! Your voice is pleasant to listen too! Great tips!
Thanks for watching!
Straight and to the point.
You’re the man.
God bless
Just what I was looking for. Love your channel...now subbed!
For not having a kit, that's an awesome job of striping!
It really does. I've been impressed with it ever since the first mow.
Best stripping tips I've seen in youtube so far! Good job Ryan. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Neighbors often comment about how nice my lawn looks. It's because I take my time and cut it where the stripes are uniformed. I cut it in different directions each cut. If you cut your grass in the same pattern, eventually it creates depressions or ruts in the soil.
Another key to stripping your lawn is to keep your mower serviced. Oil and filter changes are a must for the life of your lawnmower engine. Keeping the blade sharp is a must. A dull or wore blade puts more stress on the engine. Overly wore blades are a safety issue. A well maintained blade cuts evenly and allows more grass clippings to be collected in the bag. If you chose not to bag, then cutting the grass more frequently is beneficial in the way your lawn looks. Either way a sharp blade is a must.
Another factor in a even cut is making sure the deck is adjusted to the same level on all four tires. The back tires are only one level at a time above the front, as you gradually raise the cutting height to accommodate the cutting season.
Remember oil, filters and well maintained blades are cheaper than engines. Regardless if it is a cheap off brand mower or a professional grade mower.
I also raise my deck up and down to achieve better contrast. Good tips!
I can't believe I needed this in my lawn care job. lol thanks 😊
Just perfect mate. Your neighbours all must be proud of You! Nice job on the video and done just as perfect. Can not wait till my spring comes. Am in Australia and it,s winter. Richard
Winter has become more and more difficult for me over the years the more I've been interested in lawn care. I feel your pain!
Great video and footage. Nice drone shots, and best lawn in the neighborhood
Your commitment is put to the test with that tree in your front lawn :) Great work!
:)
Thank you for such an informative and efficient video! Much appreciated!
I’m going to take your advice. I do want some nice stripes on my new lawn. It has been a struggle this year starting with a local landscaping company who totally ruined my lawn.
Nice video Ryan, can't beat a double cut to burn the stripes in, another tip is to go left to right one week on your lawns and then the following week go right to left on all of them for the chequered effect.
Yeah you should check out my lawn striping contest I did around Halloween of this year.
Ryan Knorr Lawn Care that's pretty sweet, what drone are you using?
I just tuned 22 and bout a pair of white sketchers I also tucked my shirt into my shorts 🩳 I think I’m ready.
I cut in five different patterns; clockwise in a continuous inward corkscrew(
because my mower discharges on the right side); North/South; East/West; NE/SW; NW/SE. This helps minimize rutting which for me using a 750# lawn tractor is a problem. I'd like to use a walk-behind mower to do all 19K SF of my lawn but I don't have time for that in my schedule. When cutting diagonally I start at the middle of the lawn and sight from one corner to the other. This is the longest distance so the straighter I get this the better everything following will be. To help this I find something in the distance, preferably about twice the distance away as the distance across my lawn to use as a visual guide. I line this up in my mind with a second feature, usually the corner of the lawn and then I aim for that distant point. I have effectively doubled the distance and this makes getting that first swath as straight as possible.
Great video thank you for sharing
Straight to the point! Good video.
Great looking lawn this week
Thanks!
That’s gorgeous. Thank you for sharing 😊❤️👍
Nice. I just got the 2017 and used the striping kit today. Lawn needs another week of warm weather to really come in. Will post a video.
Awesome. Good luck!
Almost a million views. Congrats Ryan!
Beautiful home! Dope video man🤙🏽
Need some god-dam stars to go with all them stripes.
MERICA!!!!!!

Only just saw your reply.
Awesome work 👌
@@ryanknorrlawncare u sav haha frl already did it😂
I have been cutting lawns as a side job for awhile now really enjoy it. I have been watching your videos to learn how to be better @ it too. They're really helpful.
I have always striped all the lawns i do my customers love it. After watching this though i would like to try & get a more defined stripes.😉
Also iam going to being doing lawn care @ my regular work on a bigger scale now, so these videos will be a great training material☺.
Glad I could help!
Awesome striping!!!!! Do you notice a difference if your grass is wet or dry prior to cutting? Do the stripes come out better one way vs the other??
The drone shows your lawn as the greenier lawn of the neighborhood 👌👍
Looking awesome bro 👏👏👏
Thanks!
cool video, My push mower had one of those Mudflaps in the back, but I took it off, Privately I don't do stripes, but for commercial I do, very interesting video, the mower also spreads the cut grass out better and gets closer to obstacles better without the chute on, bet then I'll have to wear safety glasses when mowing though, small price to pay, oh well, like I said, very interesting video.
Great instructional video. Thanks for sharing.
Great tip! Thanks for your help. 👊
Another method is to cut your lawn in a pattern. Make sure the mower is on the highest setting. Do your cutting. Upon completion, lower your deck 1 or 2 notches. Then cut again but this time cut every other row. It will look fantastic. But be careful not to do your 2nd cut too short. You may damage the grass. Ive been doing it for years. Tons of compliments.
Could you make a video on this?
@@marclopez1652 I don't have a CZcams channel. Sorry I can't post a video.
@@MrKfq269you’re commenting this from a youtube channel
Great video bud. I’m going outside today to try it out!!
What's that music bro? Groovin.'
Gorgeous lawn btw.
Awesome tips man. im definitely gonna start practicing tomorrow
Thanks for watching and good luck!
Thanks for the tip, i hope i can make such nice looking strips.
I appreciate the info on how to stripe.
Your lawn is amazing!! How do I achieve carpet like thickness and grass as green as yours? When I cut my lawn with bag it always leaves a trail of clippings that end up looking like hay.
Thank you straight to the point.
Great video. Thanks
Best lawn on the block!
You were awesome in heroes and star trek dude! ❤️
Nice I'm going to try this Wednesday
You walk reallllly fast while cutting your lawn - he he. Very good tips. My tip - make sure to do your edging and sidewalk grass through cracks removal before your video. I find vinegar and water as well as putting a little bit of sand in between sidewalk cracks and edging to be effective.
great advice!
Beautiful yard !
lol love those overhead drone shots...it looks like your lawn is literally painted a darker green than the neighbors!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. The green color is pretty dramatic but when you don't use any fertilizer at all, then the differences are going to look the way they do.
Beautiful yard young man 🙆👍👍👍👍👍👍
good tips thanks for sharing
That yard is beautiful
Hi Ryan I like your point of views.
How often do I need to weed n feed my lawn??
Fertilize??
What is the key to a dark natural green lawn jus like yours??
Thank you very much I hope hear from you soon
that's really beautiful!!!
Nice work! Thanks for the tips.
You're welcome.
Great job bro
i love the view from above. Pure Domination.
Really nice lawn! 👌🏻
Bootiful stripes 👏🏻
What a great video! Thanks!
Great video....this helps !
I have crappy grass but always double cut due to my OCD. Who knew it would come in handy in the lawn world. LOL
Thank you for learning
Good job young man!
Looks great! Thanks
Good stuff! 👍🏾
Thanks for sharing.
I use a metal pipe with sand on my Toro recycler 22 with personal pace
Really cool! Thanks
Awesome vid and edits and filming and lawn mower and mowing. Awesome looking house also.
Thank you!
Nice job
