More Lawn Mower Art
A while ago we brought you the talents of Uriel Osorio at Shafer Wineries in California; a man who had taught himself how to create grassy art with a lawnmower and some inspiration and whose “grassterpieces” were bringing a smile to the faces of the winery employees and Facebook fans. Inspired by Osorio’s lawn mower […]
Lawn Mower Art & Grassterpieces
A while back we discovered two Americans who mowed and painted the logo for their favourite baseball team into their lawns as a show of support for the team during tense qualification periods. It seems large-scale lawn art is a big thing across the pond, as the groundskeeper at Shafer Wineries in the Napa Valley, […]
History of Lawns and Landscaping
It is hard for most of us to imagine a world without lawns in one form or another, whether it is your own garden or a public park, which is just a very large lawn for everyone to enjoy. We take this recreational space for granted, as an arena for picnics and sports days, celebrations […]

One might think that this quirky obsession […]

Use Your Lawn Mower Creatively
Your lawn mower can be much more than just a tool for cutting grass; several people have put theirs to good use in creating grassy masterpieces. A group of Volkswagen enthusiasts at an event in Despatch, South Africa, wanted to recreate the iconic logo for their VW Logo and Parade Day, but getting 84 vintage […]
Multiple Lawn Mower Systems
Conventional wisdom dictates that one lawn mower must be used by one person at a time; the idea of using three, or even five lawn mowers at the same time is a difficult one to grasp. Charles Grassley, a senator based in Des Moines, Iowa, decided to hitch two push mowers to the back of […]
Lawnmowers Have Never Been So Much Fun!
The topic of ride-on mowers brings us to a sport that really illustrates the definition of ‘grass roots’. Lawn mower racing started in 1973 in West Sussex after a group of motorsport enthusiasts enjoyed a pint at The Cricketers Arms in Wisborough Green. Having been to the hostelry myself I can see why the idea […]
