If you want a healthy looking garden then it is essential that you keep your garden trimmed regularly. Choosing the correct type of garden lawnmower will make the job much easier and will give great results. There are a lot of fantastic garden lawn mowers out there but choosing one that is suitable can be difficult. You need to take a number of factors into consideration including how much you can afford to spend as well as the size and shape of your lawn.

Type Of Lawn Mower

Petrol Powered – The main advantage of a petrol lawnmower is that it has no electric cable so can easily cope with large gardens. The fact that they are petrol fueled means that they are far more powerful than electric mowers and can breeze through overgrown grass. One thing with petrol mowers is that you need to regularly check on the oil levels and make sure they are maintained on a regular basis.

Electric Lawnmowers – People that have smaller gardens will find that buying an electric mower is going to be the best solution. When it comes to electric garden lawnmowers they are the most affordable on the market. They are typically much cheaper than any other type of mower and are easy to maintain. They are however not as powerful as petrol powered mowers so they can sometimes struggle with longer grass.

Ride On Mowers – Ride On garden lawnmowers are perfect for cutting huge estates. Large areas of lawn that have different shapes in them can be easily tackled with a ride on lawnmower. Like petrol mowers ride ons require a lot of maintenance and they do cost a fair amount to buy. They are however a lot of fun and are very effective for cutting large areas.

Blades

Rotary Mowers – Rotary style garden lawnmowers are the most common type that you will find. You can tell they are rotary as they have blades that rotate. Rotary blades can only be a problem if you want to achieve a striped look to your lawn as they leave cut grass torn. This is why it is important to get one with a good roller if you want a striped effect on your lawn.

Cylinder Mowers – A cylinder mower is the sort with circular blades on it like the ones that you tend to push around a lawn. This can be a lot of effort but there are petrol powered cylinder mowers, however they do cost a lot. Although they can be costly the advantage of cylinder garden lawnmowers is they will leave your garden with a beautiful effect.
