Gardeners in Glasgow can create the perfect lawn this summer and make their neighbours green with envy.

Stripes are the quintessential hallmark of a well-maintained British lawn.   These can be achieved almost regardless of the type of mower you have. Machines fitted with a rear roller produce the most perfectly defined stripes but it’s the way you mow that counts.

Glasgow gardeners will find the extensive range of John Deere petrol and electric lawmowers at Nairn Brown Ltd, plus tips and advice on mowing and lawn maintenance.

You earn your stripes by making the first cut across the middle of the lawn. Keep your eyes focussed on where you want to finish – that way the curvy stripes are eliminated. Then simply make a turn at the end and mow down in the opposite direction. When you finish one half of the lawn go back to the centre strip and repeat the process. It’s that simple.
