Fun idea. One thing I don't love is there's heavy emphasis on 4 pieces coming together at a single point with almost all of the designs. It looks nice, but: a)That's a really weak point that will probably be the first point o

Many insects lay their eggs in the grass which hatch in early spring. By mowing early you may be destroying all of these eggs before they hatch. There's debate about how effective it is, but that's the theory at least.
