As summer rolls around it’s time to think about all aspects of gardening, including keeping the lawn short, healthy and green. Part of achieving this is by having the right lawnmower for your garden. There are so many out there to choose from, so how do you know what’s right for you? Before you make a big investment on your new mower, take a look at the differences between the mowers available to decide what’s perfect for you.
Cylinder Lawnmower. The first type of lawnmower is the cylinder which is preferred by most professionals. This type of mower has blades that cut against a fixed blade for a very close, very sharp cut. Because of this, cylinder mowers are best suited to professional lawns and golf courses that need a very manicured, close-cut finish. They do not work well on uneven lawns, so if you go for this type of mower, make sure your lawn is completely flat and even.
Rotary Mower. The rotary mower is the most common type of lawnmower for residential use. This is because the scythe-like blades can cut through grass that the cylinder mower cannot. It can also handles hills and uneven surfaces, which most family gardens have. The finish is not quite as manicured as the cylinder mower, but it does the job efficiently and neatly. You can find rotary mowers in different sizes, colors and in either electric or gas-powered.
Hover. Hover mowers work by floating above the grass to give a tidy trim. They are very easy to maneuver, making them ideal for smaller, awkwardly shaped gardens or steeply sloping lawns. They do not produce as nice of a finish as the other two mowers. However, the ease of use, affordability and lightweight of this mower make them very popular with families.
Electric v. Gas. Each of the three lawnmowers mentioned above can be found in both electric and gas-powered models. Electric models are better suited to small and medium-sized gardens that have access to a power source. The benefits of electric models include being lightweight, cleaner, easier to maintain, environmentally-friendly and highly maneuverable. Gas-powered lawnmowers are more ideal for bigger lawns with longer grass. The benefits include no trailing cables, will not overheat, come in self-propelled models, better performance and can cut damp grass.
Other Considerations. When shopping for your next lawnmower, there are some other considerations to keep in mind. For example, do you want to collect grass clippings? If so, you’ll need a grass collection box. Consider getting a clear viewing box so you know when to empty the clippings. If you want to get the lawn cut quickly, go for a wider mower. If you want a striped-effect, look for mowers with a rear roller that flattens the grass in one direction.
