How to Choose the Right Type of Lawn Mower
Summary
Having a beautiful, clean, and well-mowed lawn is a dream for many. While you can hire a lawn mowing service, doing it yourself can be rewarding and cost-effective. Before purchasing a lawn mower, it's important to understand what type suits your needs and budget.Choosing the Right Lawn Mower
Considerations Before Purchase
Before buying a lawn mower, decide whether you prefer an electric or gasoline-powered model. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.1. Size of the Lawn:
For larger areas, a bigger mower may be required. Non-powered mowers work well for small lawns.
2. Proximity to Power Source:
If your lawn's edge is within 30 to 35 feet of a power outlet, an electric mower is a viable option.
3. For Larger Gardens or Golf Courses:
Consider ride-on models powered by diesel or gasoline engines. A garden tractor might also be suitable. Engine power ranges from 8.5 HP to 13 HP, with prices between $1,750 and $5,000.
4. Price Considerations:
Basic walk-behind models start at about $400. For slightly more, you can get better engines with ball bearings and utility handlebars. Higher-end models ($700 to $900) offer self-starting, self-propelled features.
5. For Sloped Small Lawns:
Hover models are ideal. They're lightweight and easy to use, available in both diesel and electric versions.
Seasonal Lawn Care Tips
- Summer:
Raise the mower to 3 inches or more to maintain longer grass. Depending on watering and soil conditions, mowing once every two weeks might suffice.
- Spring:
Sharpen and service the mower before use. Regular top-dressing can enhance your lawn's appearance.
- Winter:
Drain gasoline from the lawn mower and store it covered in your garage.
