# How to Create Lawn Stripes With a Roller
If you envy the carefully manicured lines of a baseball field or golf course, a lawn roller is the thing for you. This basic tool will allow you to replicate patterns you see on famous courses and stadiums in your very own backyard. By bending the blades of grass in your lawn, you can create an illusion of patterned grass that will impress your neighbors.

1
Mow your grass with long, even passes back and forth. For example, if you mow one pass east to west, when you reach the end of the lawn, turn the mower around and mow a stripe west to east.

2
Walk the lawn roller over the grass in the direction it was mowed. If you mowed a stripe east to west, roll that same stripe east to west as well. This will push the blades of grass in that direction and give the impression of a stripe in the lawn.

Mow around the perimeter of the lawn, then roll over this perimeter pass to clean up the marks left. This will give your lawn a clean border.
