Anyone use Lawn Striper Kit Attachments?

Dragging the pvc filled with sand sounds like a good idea.

A striper kit works best on cool season grass. Most striping I see down here is from a roller on a reel mower.

I stripe the living shite out of my yard with a striping kit I bought from Big League Lawns. I have mostly St. Augustine and some Bermuda grass and it stripes very well.

True story: I was cutting grass yesterday evening after work and an older black guy stopped to ask me about my striping kit. He said he passes my house every day on his way to and from work and was always waiting to see me cutting grass so he could ask how I stripe it so well. We had a ten minute conversation about it.

Striping kits 100% can work on warm season grasses. What I do is I cut the grass going about half speed then after it's cut, I go back over it again slowly and it really makes the stripes pop. I also have two 15lb dumbbells attached to the striping kit so it weighs it down some more. On a sunny day, the stripes look amazing.

And still, a striping kit works best on cool season grass

Yes, it can look good on taller St Aug, but as you do, you really have to “burn it in”. Now get rid of that Bermuda!

I actually had no idea that attachments were available to do this!

pics?

I would post them but I have very recognizable features in my yard on a major highway so it’d give away my identity. I’ll try to take pics this weekend in a way that won’t give away who I am

Yes, I've got a riding zero turn that I use. This is the kit I use:



I've got two dumbbells strapped to the middle of it to add the weight. Before adding the weight, I had to go over each stripe 3 times, now I get a good stripe with one pass but I still go over it 2-3 times if I have nothing else to do since that REALLY makes the stripes pop. I cut the grass at about 5" height as well.

Another thing I do is I turn the blade off after cutting the entire yard since it just messes up the stripes after it's already cut. I think the wind from them spinning just blows the grass blades in every direction which is obviously not something you want. So when going back over each stripe, I make sure the blade is off. May be common sense but it took my dumbass a couple weeks to figure that out

I know you have two little ones. Imagine them trying to play tee ball with grass blades up to their knees

2 lb roller on a manual reel.
Maybe if I went over it twice I’d have something.
