Rumble strips in lawn!

Posted by Daniel Gillings @ DC inc on April 2, 2026 at 6:54pm in Groundscare

Difficult one to describe. 

We've got a couple of lawns that we've taken over and both (unrelated locations) have got an almost rumble strip feel to certain sections. Absolutely paralell lines in a relatively large area. I'm ensured that the only machinary that has been over it is Hayter lawn mowers. 

The "rumble strips" (That's what they feel like when you go over them) are spaced about 3-4 inches apart and and about 3-4 inches wide....

Anyone come across this before? Is it a natural phenomenon? Is it a bad practice by a previous gardener...?
