Picking the right Lawn Mower

Filed under: Lawn

By: Paul Gray

Choosing a lawn mower involves a lot more than just picking up any old lawn mower and buying it. Much like buying a new car, buying a lawn mower is as much about function and environment as it is design and aesthetic.
There are a number of different factors to think about when buying a new lawn mower, these include:
Garden size; if you are planning on mowing an area larger a quarter of acre then your best investment would be a ride on mower. These mowers take all hard work out of gardening so that all you have to do is drive. Should you not have such a large area to mow, but still face a large challenge then petrol powered Rotary Mower will take most of the physical effort out of mowing. If you want to put a striped pattern into your lawn then your best investment is a cylinder mower. However if you just want a normal lawn mower for a normal sized garden then you wont go far wrong with a hover mower.
Price obviously is a major factor in choosing a lawn mower and as a rule the more expensive lawn mowers tent to have more features.
Finally the most important thing to keep in mind when buying a new lawn mower is that you always get what you pay for. A lawn mower just like a car should be a long term investment and as such it might be worth paying that little bit more knowing that chances are it will last you longer.
