Turning Mowing Into an Art Form

Don't just mow your lawn! Channel your inner artist and create a Mowna Lisa. A grassterpiece, if you will.

For 11 years running, British mowing machine manufacturer Allett has a competition where lawn care enthusiasts prove that the grass is always greener on their side of the yard.

I'm partial to the 3rd Place winner of the 2023 Allett Creative Lawn Stripes competition. It's 3D shaped cube by Tito Triana of East Sussex, UK, who wrote:

I began by measuring out a cube using stakes and string and slowly began reducing the height of cut in the surrounding areas over a 4-week period. I always enjoy the added attention the lawn needs when cutting at such low heights and was impressed with how well the grass held up with daily mowing at 8mm. The 3D elusion is a result of different heights of cut as well as tapering the design from bottom to top which was a lot harder than I initially thought to do within scale across the shape and in a way that made it look realistic.

More unbeleafably fantastic lawn art over at Allett's 20242023, 2022 and 2021 competitions.
