Oh and i still can't believe your skills with a push mower. I need work on my push mower skills to get to your level. Even though we don't push mow much I'm a little envious.

The kid has some talent will not be easy to match his lines.

Was there a tree at one point where your UFO spot was? Thats kind of what it looks like to me, or the grass has been patched in there in the last year.

There was a little outdoor fire pit thing like in the below picture that was somewhere around there but I thought it as over farther, but I might be wrong. I only started mowing this yard in the spring and there was never a tree there, but there could have been before that. :rolleyes:

Some would refer to it as "your calling":0)

Maybe, since you are so good at it, you should advertise to cater to those homeowners seeking the striping effect on their lawns(and......charge extra for it)!!!!

If(when) I get my striper kit I'm gonna make my front yard look like Wrigley Field:0)
And......practice figuring out how to make different patterns/shapes.....although doing it with a push mower like you do that kinda stuff would probably be easier to accomplish. Hmmmmm, there you go, figure out how to "stripe the homeowner's initials into their front lawn"....that would be a big seller:0)

It is his calling.

There are plenty of homeowners that will pay the extra cash to have their yard push mowed.

There are not many people that still use push mowers now everyone uses the big mowers takes longer to take it off the trailer than it does to cut the grass.

My dad always told me..."find a niche in your trade and exploit it"(now he further explained that this doesn't mean take advantage of your "customers" or "employer" because that's not right.....just use your unique skillset to take advantage of "opportunities" to set yourself apart from the "masses that do what you do"...the money will follow). Now all lmf has to do is the exploit part!!

I know my Honda stripes well to begin with, but I was close to buying a lawn striping roller for my mower but was afraid it might hurt the transmission because they weigh around 25-30 lbs. :eek: But is it any worse than using a bagger? Toro | Lawn Striping System (20601)
