can you cut lines in the lawn and make it look like a checkerboard

I can, yes. With this mower, no. Grass having a striped or checkerboard appearance is accomplished with directional mowing by gang mowers (like you see on golf courses) with a roller behind it to push the grass down.You need good grass for the stripes/patterns to work; bermuda or a good bluegrass with no crabgrass or other weeds is needed. Crabgrass is too coarse.This mower is good for your grass because it cuts each blade like scissors instead of the helicopter-like shearing from a power mower. You need a smooth lawns free of ruts, divots, and holes, and composed of a good-quality grass. I can, yes. With this mower, no.

We have not been able to do this... it cuts ok, not great, so cutting a checkerboard in the lawn would be tough -- again, our experience.

I can't say for sure, but I would imagine it would be OK unless you have very hard/compact soil. The first cut may be a little tough, but then you can overlap the next one by, say 50% and go on. Also, to make it easier to remove the unwanted grass, I would make the cut as close to the pavement as possible (the grass growing on top of the pavement is usually very easy to remove - the trickiest thing has been when I want to clear a couple inches to put bark between the pavement and the grass)

Yes, you can do that. Basically it will cut the 5x7 in two stripes of 3.5"x 5".

I doubt it would solve your problem. This would make your lawn muddy jello. Firm muddy jello, but jello nonetheless.

I would use scissors. They were perfect for our yard sale. Each person involved had their own color. They were alittle smaller than I thought they would be. But we all loved them.

Mine did not have lines, but I suspect it makes it easier to cut the paper where you want to place your plants in better alignment.

It is legal. Probably not ideal for yard work except for maybe splitting small peices of wood.

Yes. This is fairly easy to cut with the backing paper on. It's about as thick as cardstock (maybe a little thinner). Similar to a heavier contact paper. It does not have a grid on the backing paper so you would want to carefully use a straight edge and a pencil to lightly draw the cut line.

Yes. Cut some off the stump to have fresh fibers. Use a foam paint brush to apply Tordon full strength to the fresh cut. Apply it heavy especially on the edge.

You could use a butter knife, but the resulting jagged edges would ruin the aesthetic you are trying to achieve by using a designer product such as this.

Yes, I cut mine to line the inside of 5 gal buckets to plant trees in. A regular pair of household scissors will work fine.

I guess that it is possible. But would that cheapen the model? Would you use Elmers glue to simulate glass panes? I would be more partial to using a fine tip marker and place yellow or white marks on the portholes to provide a more subtle effect that still shows the lines of each level of deck.

Yes, I used a powered pruning saw to cut mine to size, although I had a box of the four-slat tiles to use around the edge. I felt that made a nicer border. Worked great; very easy to cut between the segments.

yes. the one they sell on line only works on smooth tile. You can make one with a 1 x 6" - 18" long board. Pick the size cutter you want to use, make a hole that size in the board first with a hole saw. Tile on flat surface, hole in the board on the tile, standing on board with both feet, then using water and a slow speed on your drill, apply water every 30 seconds. It will give you a very clean cut.

Of course you can. By turf grass I assume you mean nice thick grass. My lawn is thick & close to walls, a fence, trees & shrubs. I put on knee pads & kneel to trim. My Black & Decker has a 4 in. Cut. Trim slowly & you will do a good job. I have a self propelled walk behind mower. There is a 4 in. space from the tip of the mower blade to the right side of the mower wheel. The height of the grass from my Black & Becker & the height of the grass from my lawn mower is perfect. Nice thick turf.

Technically yes, let out sit in the sun for 15, you can cut it so you would butt two pieces together to form the 90 degree angle. Stake two times at the end of each side of the angle.

Yes you can. I do it all the time. This is one of my favorites to use. I cut postcards all the time and I always cut the half (landscape) first.
