Default Mowing The Outfield Grass

How are those diamonds and other designs created in the outfields of
major league baseball teams? TIA


Mowing the lawn with a tractor in over lapping 45' angles. The same way you
make diamond sear marks on a bbq grill.

If you look at this picture, it should be obvious how they mow the lawn.

Go in a straight line, all the way to the edge, turn around, and mow the
second strip in the opposite direction. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
