When Rick Ross reached out through social media, he knew exactly what he wanted for his 300-acre estate known as “The Promise Land” near Atlanta. He had a vision: his sprawling lawn adorned with signature wave patterns and even his logos etched into the grass. The timing was crucial as his annual car show was just around the corner. The task was monumental, but the Lawn Dude was up for the challenge.

The Initial Visit

Upon arriving at the estate, the Lawn Dude faced a massive task. The car show was set for the upcoming Saturday, giving him a mere six days to create a masterpiece. After practicing the MMG and Chevy logos on his own lawn, he was ready to surprise Rick Ross with his signature designs. Despite the tight schedule and equipment logistics, the determination to deliver excellence was unwavering.

Preparation and Challenges

Initial challenges were apparent as the team hoped the grass wasn’t too overgrown. Using a combination of a 104-inch mower to clear large swaths and a 72-inch mower for precision, they aimed to transform the estate’s vast lawns. The crew strategized meticulously, taking into account the unique aspects of Georgia’s grass compared to what they were used to.

Executing the Vision

With equipment delivered and the game plan set, the Lawn Dude got to work. The approach involved cutting the grass at a specific height to create the desired wave effect. This method involved careful folding of the grass to reflect light differently, creating the illusion of stripes. The large field required double cutting to ensure the waves were prominent and clean.

Day-by-Day Progress

Day one was about getting familiar with the land and starting the initial cuts. By day two, it was time to implement the signature waves. Positioning the waves to maximize visibility both in the morning and evening sun was crucial. Each stripe had to be precise, and the enormity of the yard meant any deviation could ruin the symmetry.

On day three, despite setbacks such as wet areas due to pond filling and overcut patches by other crew members, the Lawn Dude continued to make headway. The waves were beginning to take shape, and the addition of the MMG logo added a personalized touch to the sprawling lawn.

Equipment and Techniques

The Hustler hyperdrive 60-inch mower, Hustler 104-inch with bat wings, and the 72-inch stand-on mower were essential in tackling the vast area. The equipment’s power and precision were crucial, allowing the Lawn Dude to create sharp, defined patterns.

Additionally, edging tools like the BR800 Magnum blower and the FS94R trimmer were used to maintain clean lines and edges, ensuring the lawn looked impeccable from every angle.

Final Touches and Reveals

As the car show approached, the focus shifted to final touches. Ensuring every stripe was perfect and the logos were visible from every vantage point required meticulous attention to detail. Despite the exhausting 12-hour days, the Lawn Dude’s commitment never wavered.

By the time Rick Ross and his guests arrived, the estate was transformed. The waves and logos were perfectly aligned, showcasing the Lawn Dude’s dedication and expertise. The MMG logo and a surprise Chevy logo among the vintage cars were the crowning jewels of this lawn makeover.
