Lawn Art - get creative with your lawn mower
A relatively new concept in Britain, 'Lawn Art' is a great way to add interest to your lawn, or simply have some fun with your mower. From simple circles or lines, to more complex patterns and designs, everyone with a mower, some imagination, and a lawn can get creative and achieve really head-turning results.
The great thing about lawn art is that it costs nothing to create and is easily maintained or quite simply changed as most grass will re-grow in around a week. Visit the Hints and Tips page for ideas on how to create a piece of lawn art in your garden, learn how a roller mower creates the ubiquitous stripe, or how you can simply adjust the cutting height of a mower to produce a striking design.
