How the CheckMate Lawn Striping Kit Works

The CheckMate is a weighted lawn striping roller that attaches behind the blades on any mower. The roller bends grass down. Whatever pattern you make is revealed by the light shining off of the bent grass. A striped effect occurs when the grass is cut in side-by- side rows, alternating the way the grass bends. A checkerboard design is achieved by cutting stripes north to south, then passing over the grass a second time, east to west.
