We now work and live in a walled garden surrounded by 12 foot walls and all set in a total of 4 acres. In my opinion the main attraction is this beautiful Vista. Striped Lawns stretching 280 feet from top to the first set of steps. This whole area is hand mowed with our Honda Rotary Lawnmower as seen in Garden Photos prior to mowng this area, strimming around stumps, trees, and depressions, total area 2.5 acres. We mow this and other areas by hand, due to irregular grass surface, roots and stumps.

Creating Mowing Stripes over this distance by hand has been a challenge due to roots and uneven ground, we do have the use of a John Deere Ride On Lawnmower, unfortunately the ground has high roots from Catalpa Bignonioides Aurea (Indian Bean Trees) flanking the vista with Yew Trees, also Ride on Mowers are to wide in cut to offer a sympathetic look. Creating the desired effect in our opinion requires hands on hard work to achieve your end result, strimming and hand Mowing the whole area (2.5 Acres) 1 hectare offers the desired effect whilst being in proportion with the vista.

Mowing Lawns combined with all Gardening husbandry is not F1 Racing, It's an investment of time, cost, hard work and patience!
