Lawnmowers and the Art of Maintaining Good Lawns

Posted by gghbn on May 12th, 2018

Depending on ones' budget and size of the lawn one can opt for the best featured mowers offered now in the market. Lawn mowing need not become an onerous chore if the machine is light weight and easy to manoeuvre. Lawn mowers can work on electric power on 850 watts power and stand on wheels to enable one to move it around the patch of grass that has to be uniformly pruned. There are others which run on 1250 watts motor. The blade inside is about 32cms wide and can effectively chop off the grass to varying heights which can be pre -adjusted , between say, 20 to 60mm according to our needs.

If space is a constraint then there are foldable handles which can be neatly stored away after use. The cable connecting the mower to the power point is long enough to facilitate mowing even the outer edges of the lawn. The cable can be even as long as 32 feet. There are cables with shorter length available too. Similarly whether it is a tall or short person doing the mowing the height is adjustable. The switching systems can either be left or right handed. The box collecting the cut grass has a capacity of about 28 litres and this provision is a great advantage because the task of collecting the cut grass becomes simpler. One can simply empty the box after the mowing is done.

There are also the 36 volt lithium ion battery powered mowers which can run after being fully charged in an hour. The advantage is that it is cordless and can therefore be transported to lawns further away from the mains. Compared to the conventional batteries, this is at least 15 times faster. Lawn mowers are increasingly sleeker and lighter and designed to tackle even a slope, an awkward incline or ditch which is full of overgrowth that needs to be cut uniformly. There are petrol run lawn mowers that run on 50cc motor and can tackle grass with a height of 10 to 40mm.

For larger lawn areas there are tougher steel chassis bodied Lawn Mowing Guildford that run on 1300 watt power. There are also plastic and nylon safety blades, which work more efficiently and are longer lasting. Blades can be changed according to our need. There are also special grass combs that can cut the grass that is growing closer to the walls and edges of flower beds.

It is good to opt for the smooth and quiet motors that do not make too much noise but are tough on the grass. For small and medium sized lawns it is best to go for the light weight models because the operation itself should be fairly easy and without too much effort. Gardening will then become a welcome pleasurable activity that one can look forward

to and the lawn becomes a place where we have expended our skill and energy to make it look like a green work of art.
