For overgrown lawns and hard-to-reach areas for your lawn mower, a grass trimmer will help you keep things neat. No matter the size of your lawn, we have the lawn mower to help you, as well as a range of lawn care to keep your lawn luscious.

Cordless lawn mower

Forget tripping over cables and accidentally pulling the plug on your lawn mowing with a clever cordless lawn mower, perfect for getting on with the job as quickly as possible. Covering a range of uses from quick touch-ups to long gardens without the need for an extension cable, a cordless lawnmower is a fast and compact option for garden tidying.

Electric lawn mower

A popular choice for plugging in and getting to work is an electric lawnmower, allowing you to take your time on grass renovation. With electric lawnmowers in a range of sizes, you can get going straight away with the touch of a button. With grass boxes attached to keep it all tidy, you can use those grass clippings in your compost bin, dispose of them in a garden bag, or use as a natural mulch around your plants!

Petrol lawn mower

A petrol lawn mower is a powerful option for large gardens, with no risk of pulling cables. If you need to show your garden who’s boss, a self-propelled petrol lawn mower gets the job done and puts you firmly in control. Using a scarifier to remove dead grass and moss will make sure your lawn is in pristine condition, ready for the upcoming season!

Robotic lawn mowers

If you don’t want to push a lawnmower around, or can’t find the time to keep on top of garden maintenance, a robotic lawn mower does all the work for you. Simply charge it up, programme it in, and these clever little machines will cut your grass all on their own!

What Lawn Mower Should I Buy?

If you have a small patch of grass, a cordless lawnmower is a quick and easy option. For larger spaces, a classic electric or petrol lawn mower will offer more power and don’t rely on batteries to operate. Petrol is especially good for thick lawns and large areas. If you want to keep your lawn in check without the effort, a robotic lawn mower gives you the freedom of being able to keep your lawn trim without doing it yourself!

FAQs

Are battery-operated lawn mowers any good?

Cordless lawn mowers are environmentally friendly, don’t produce emissions, make minimal noise, and require little maintenance. They’re great for small lawns and tight spaces!

Do lawn mowers need servicing?

Like any other machine, lawn mowers need servicing at regular intervals. Even when not used frequently, a little maintenance prevents future breakdowns and prolongs their lifespan.

Can electric mowers cut wet grass?

Wet grass tends to get sticky and clogs the blades much faster. If the grass is soggy, give the lawn a day or two to dry out before mowing.

What time can I legally mow my lawn in the UK?

Whichever lawn mower you have, they’re bound to make some noise, so always use your lawn mower during sociable hours. Mowing very early in the morning isn’t just inconsiderate, your lawn is likely damp from the night before, which will make the job harder. Late morning and afternoon mowing is the way to go – mowing in the dark is confusing and dangerous.

What should you check before starting a lawn mower?

For petrol lawn mowers, ensure you have enough fuel in the tank and the engine is in good shape with the recommended oil level. Double-check that the plug is securely connected to a working socket and switched on for electric lawn mowers.

Do electric mowers have belts?

No, electric lawn mowers do not have belts. Instead, these machines use a direct-drive system where power from the motor is transferred to the blades without the need for belts.
