THE 2020 ALLETT CREATIVE LAWN STRIPES COMPETITION IS NOW OPEN!

Allett have officially launched the 'Allett Creative Lawn Stripes Competition' as of today (31st March 2020). If you think that striped lawns are limited to the homes of the British, you need to look at some of the past entries. Striped lawns used to be the preserve of the British garden, but now keen gardeners from around the globe compete each year for this coveted green award. Last year's lawn stripes competition (judged by 2018 Winner Keith Smith) was Czako Erik of Hungary with a stunning and technically difficult pattern on grass of a quality normally seen in a national football stadium. Creative Stripes Winner - Erik Czakó | Blog | Allett Mowers ‘I wanted to mix circles and squares in such a way to show both of them. It’s a simple pattern but hard to make it accurately because of the contact points of the mower. It took me three hours to complete in total using an Allett Kensington 14K. I work for a delivery food company and play football in league four. When I was a child I watched English premier league football matches and dreamt of playing on amazing pitches like the ones I saw on TV. In Hungary the pitches aren’t as high quality as UK pitches so I decided to make a lawn like one. Hungary’s gardeners told me it wasn’t possible due to our climate however I got advice from English groundsmen and my dream came true'' Judges comments: A striking entry with a linked chain theme. By combining a traditional and regimented striped lawn and incorporating a contrasting and mirrored swirl, Erik Czakó wins by combining a simplistic design which is technically difficult. The higher than normal height of cut has enabled strong stripes in a very healthy turf. The 2019 competition attracted entries from ten different countries including; England, Wales, Netherlands, Scotland, USA, Sweden, Hungary, Ukraine, Denmark and France. This year’s prize is as follows; a Liberty 43 with ALL of its cartridges and 2 cartridge stands. We will be hoping for MORE entries from MORE countries! You DON'T have to use an Allett Mower to enter. Creative Lawn Stripe Competition WINNER

This year's lawn stripes judge will be announced soon!

Our chosen judge will be selecting what he (or she) thinks is the most creative lawn stripes design at the end of August 2020 when the competition will close. We are looking for something different- can you use garden features to create your design? We are not looking for straight stripes- the most creative design will win!
