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.

They also use heavy lawn rollers behind the cutting decks.

If you're thinking of doing this on your lawn- by cutting the same
pattern week after week and follow with a heavy push roller, you'll get
the same effect.

Mow your lawn square with your house on week one. Week two, mow at a 90
degree angle to what you mowed last week. This is the simplest method
to striping your yard.

The major league fields are mowed in this fashion as well but most of
the time they are mowed twice on the same day to achieve the look you
see on television, once in the morning and then again in the afternoon
before the game.
