Help with random placement of objects

I set up a script that randomly places trees around the map, but I’m getting weird “lines” of them appearing.

Right now it’s just using math.random() to place these trees. Is there a better way to space these trees out randomly so they’re more evenly scattered?

Can you give us some code of the tree placement script where the Pivot or CFrame is set?

local function Place(Tree,i)
	local PreviousPosition = Vector3.new(-233.008, 93.614, -155.379)
	while i > 0 do
		while true do
			local Clone = Tree:Clone()
			local Start = Vector3.new(math.random(-1050,865),400,math.random(-636,738))
			local Direction = Vector3.new(0,-500,0)

			local Raycast = workspace:Raycast(Start,Direction)
			print(Raycast)
			if Raycast then
				if Raycast.Instance:IsA("Terrain") and Raycast.Material == Enum.Material.Grass and (Raycast.Position-PreviousPosition).Magnitude > 30 then
					Clone.Parent = workspace.WorkspaceTrees
					Clone:PivotTo(CFrame.new(Raycast.Position))
					PreviousPosition = Raycast.Position
					break
				end
			end
			wait()
		end
		i-=1
	end
end

i is 65 and 60 for the 2 different trees
