Do you like to have a beautiful lawn in your yard? Clean, green, and well-mowed lawn is not just everybody’s dream but also is pretty much pleasing. You can engage a lawn mowing service for a fee but how about doing it yourself over the weekend? You need to know what type of lawn mower suffices your need and how much you should spend on it etc before you bought one for your home.
Choosing the Right Type of Lawn Mower
Before you choose a lawnmower, decide whether you want to buy electric or gasoline driven mower. Each type has its own ups and downs. In general, you may follow the points as given below.
1. Base your decision on the area to mow. Larger the area bigger is the mower you may want to purchase. You can consider even the nonpowered mower for small lawns.
2. If your lawn is small and the farthest edge is about 30 to 35 feet away from your nearest power socket you can very well go for an electric lawnmower.
3. If it is for large gardens or golf courses go for ride-on models powered by diesel or gas engines with controls on both the hands. Even a garden tractor suffices for you. Engine power varies from 8.5 HP to 13 HP and the price from $1750 to $5000.
4. Price is an important factor to look at. A basic walk-behind model costs about $400 and for a little more you get a better engine with ball bearing and utility handlebars. Higher prices like $700 to $900 get you self starting, self-propelled models with additional features.
5. For sloped small lawns, a Hover model suits best. They are light and easy, you need to carry them to lawn and start. They come in both diesel and electric versions.
