Is cold out? Here in eastern pa, the weather was hot, the cooled down
And now it is hot agian. My zturn does not have a striper but the my

Lawn care business tips
I wouldn't think so.

The moisture level and length of grass play a big role in well developed stripes. It's a lot like the hair on your head.

Cold air will usually preserve morning dew till 11AM give or take, so mornings are your best bet. Sometimes later in the season the cold air will actually dry out the grass, removing it's moisture.

I would think the grass would be more flexible when it's wet than dry and hold it's shape longer.
