A lawn guru has revealed how sports fans can get pitch perfect lines on their garden grass, just like centre court at Wimbledon. With the oldest tennis championship in the world here again, many watching will have lawn envy as they admire the pristinely cut green grass. But now, experts from GreenThumb have revealed how you can achieve that Wimbledon-worthy lawn at home.
Lawn expert, Steve Taylor from GreenThumb, says there are three simple steps to achieving the famous vertical lines seen on the hallowed Centre Court grass. Steve said: “Firstly you need to make sure you’re using the right kind of mower, a cylinder or rotary mower with a roller will achieve the best results.
“Secondly, make sure your lawn is well cared for before cutting. Consistent feeding and water will help the grass settle into a programme of care for stripes. Finally, to achieve those lines, cut your lawn in one direction at a width of two mowers, then, for the next line, cut in exactly the opposite direction, again at a width of two mowers. Rinse and repeat until you’ve finished, and you’ll be ready for the likes of Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu to grace your garden.”
