Oh, There’s Something About a Striped Lawn

Most men take their mowing very seriously.  I never understood just how seriously until I started asking them about lawn striping.   And I quickly found out that lawn striping is a huge deal!   It really is important to them.   Yes, it looks neat and groomed, but I hear it all the time.  A lawn has to have stripes.   It just isn’t right without the stripes. There is something about it.    I don’t know what it is….maybe it brings out an artistic side in men.    A lawn is like a canvas, where they can create something beautiful every time….a work of art in grass.    There’s also a feeling of pride and sense of accomplishment from striping and grooming a lawn to a professional ball field finish.   All I know, is they love to stripe their lawns!

Steiner Brothers Visit the St. Louis Gateway Arch

The Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis, Missouri is located near the starting point of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.  The park was established to commemorate several historical events and is maintained by the National Park Service.   With its beautiful pristine lawns sloping down towards the Mississippi River, this 91 acre memorial park sits on the site of the original city of St. Louis and consists of the Old Courthouse; the Museum of Westward Expansion and probably the most well known icon of the city, The Gateway Arch.  The Gateway Arch towers over the city of St. Louis as a reflective symbol of the western expansion of the country during the nineteenth century.  Standing at 630 feet, this stainless steel structure is a marvel of modern engineering.

The seven Steiner brothers of Orrville, Ohio, recently took a road trip to St. Louis and while there, they visited the grounds crew that so immaculately maintain the National Park area and to see how they use Ventrac tractors, which are designed and manufactured by the Steiner brothers.   They met with Jim Jacobs, Gardener Supervisor, and his crew, to catch a glimpse of just how they keep the park in its amazing state all year round.
