The Best Lawn Mower for any Yard Size
Many new homeowners have the pleasure of purchasing their first lawn mower. However, choosing the best lawn mower for your needs may be a bit trickier than you think. Take yard size & terrain into consideration. The list below will make the choice a breeze.
- Small Yard - Push Mowers
These push mowers easily maneuver around trees and can handle ¼ to ½ of an acre of grass. For a lawn that needs grass nutrients, make sure you choose a model with mulching capabilities. And for a more mature, healthy lawn, a grass bag catcher is your best bet. Riding Mowers
Lawn tractors and riding mowers go the extra mile and easily handle 1– 3 acres of grass. Most mowers have the option to add attachments like a mulching kit or grass bags. Some even have snow blower attachments to save you from another big purchase.- Big Yard - Lawn tractor or Zero Turn Mowers
For new homeowners with big backyard dreams, there is a lawn mower to match. Lawn tractors and zero turn mowers don’t mess around and can handle anywhere from 1 – 3+ acres of grass. The heavy-duty mower deck and zero turn radius functionality makes mowing through tight spots easy. And finally, mower attachments like the grass mulcher and dump cart make zero turn & tractors worthy of your new yard.
