    not sure if others do this. Given my large property and the many trees, I cut the grass in a circle pattern. Will cut the edges long wise etc. But the end results is to cut start at a base of a tree and circle around and around larger and larger till the circle meets the other circle of the other tree. The center tree is cut last, in a circle, so I have overlapping cut circle marks in the grass when done. Its easier for me to get it all done, and to keep track of where I have cut. and it looks pretty. Although a picture would not do it justice as it the angle of the shade and sun. So, just sharing, wonder if anyone else cuts in circles. I have a ridding mower --BTW-- so its a matter of turning in a circle and zooming around.

        No got a big enough lawn or the correct mower. I'd definitely do something like this though, sounds great. Try doing some sort of optical illusion next time, haha.

          both, clock wise and counter clock wise. So my ridding mower will unwind.
