Many people think sports stadiums achieve the striped or checkerboard look by cutting the grass at different heights or using varying types of grass. The striped look is actually created when light reflects off blades of grass which have been bent in different directions. The direction the blade is bent will determine whether you have a dark or light stripe. Blades bent away from you appear lighter as light is reflected off the entire length of the blade; blades bent towards you look darker since the light is only bouncing off the tip.

Now my question is: How does one bend the grass sufficiently?

Very interesting. I tried this once before; unforunately I employed the method of adjusting the height of my mower which, needless to say, did not work. I too would like to know how to properly bend the blades of my lawn.
