Create the Zigzag Pattern

What happens here

To create a zigzag pattern, begin by mowing parallel diagonal stripes across the lawn. Select a diagonal starting point and mow a straight line to the opposite side of the lawn. Upon reaching the end of the pass, use the pre-mowed perimeter turning lane (from Step 2) to turn the mower around, then proceed to mow another parallel diagonal line, slightly overlapping the previous pass by approximately 4 inches. This overlap is crucial to ensure no uncut grass is left behind and to enhance the stripe definition. Repeat this process until the entire area is covered with consistent diagonal stripes. The combination of these parallel diagonal passes, especially when reinforced over multiple mowing sessions (as part of a multi-week schedule), creates the distinct zigzag visual effect. The video demonstrates this process, condensing multiple weeks into a single session.

Goal: Generate a clear zigzag pattern through diagonal mowing.
