Diagonal stripes looked sick in pics, wrecked my whole lawn angle
Saw a dude online pull off those 45 degree diagonal lines and thought I'd try it on my backyard in Austin. Big mistake. My typical straight strips run north to south, and switching to diagonals just made every pass fight the natural slope near the fence. Spent 4 hours last Sunday redoing it, and now the lines look like a zigzag mess where the old pattern shows through. You need a spotter to walk the lines or a GPS marker if you're gonna attempt that style. Has anyone else burned a weekend on fancy angles and gone back to basics?
