To choose the device that is ideal for your particular plot of land, you will need to answer yourself a few questions about your lawn. Yes, a lawn mower should not only meet your personal preferences, but also meet certain criteria, which will be given below.
So, the first criterion is the area of your lawn. If it does not exceed 100 square meters, then you can opt for an electric mower, manual drum or rotary. If your site exceeds 300 square meters in area, you cannot do without a powerful gasoline mower. Among other things, how much time you are willing to spend mowing the grass plays an important role. The wider the mower’s working area, the faster the lawn can be mowed. For example, an area of up to 400 square meters can be easily worked with a mower with a small grip area (25-30 cm). At the same time, a lawn mower with a working area of 30-40 centimeters, during the same time, you can mow the lawn twice as much. For very large land plots (from 1000 square meters), devices with a working area of at least 50 centimeters are suitable.
The second criterion is how far from the house there is a source of electricity. This is a question you need to ask yourself if you are going to buy an electric lawn mower. In the event that there are no power sources in your garden, and the lawn is more than 30 meters from the nearest outlet, you will have to choose a gasoline unit.
The third criterion is the relief of your lawn. If your plot of land has an uneven surface, it is better to opt for a hover lawnmower, as it will easily bypass all holes, bumps and irregularities. There are such options that on a small lawn there are many “obstacles” in the form of bushes, fences, trees and other things. In this case, you should consider buying a trimmer that will quickly cut the grass even in the most inaccessible places, for example, between closely growing trees or under a bench. If your lawn is on a slope, then you still have to settle for an air cushion lawn mower.
So, before you buy a lawn mower, you will not only have to study many technical points, but also decide how many times a month you will use the lawn mower for its intended purpose. It should be noted right away that experts advise mowing the lawn at least once a week so that your land plot always looks well-groomed and stylish.
