Different Types of Lawn Mowers

Maintaining a lush green lawn is no easy feat! After all, achieving that perfect yard requires more than just some elbow grease. You also need the right equipment, which includes a reliable lawn mower for your yard care needs. However, with so many brands and types of mowers out there, it can be tough to choose the right one for your needs. We've got you covered with a breakdown of the different types of lawn mowers, so you can choose a model that will give you the best results.

Push Mowers

These are the traditional lawn mowers that you’ve likely seen your neighbors using on a Sunday morning. They are manually powered, which means you have to push them to move forward and cut the grass. Since there’s no engine, they’re much quieter and less expensive than other types of lawn mowers. However, there are some drawbacks to using a push mower. They can be tiring and time-consuming, especially if you have a large lawn. If you have thick or tall grass, you may need to go over the same spot multiple times, making the job even more labor-intensive.

Walk-Behind Mowers

Walk-behind mowers are a step up from push mowers and are designed to make the mowing process easier and more efficient. They come in gas-powered, electric, and self-propelled options and are suitable for smaller yards.

One of the benefits of walk-behind mowers is the ease of use. They have a motor that powers the blade, which means you don’t have to put in as much physical effort to mow your lawn. Self-propelled options make the job easier by providing added assistance to move the mower forward.

Riding Mowers

For those with larger yards or obstacles to navigate, a riding mower may be the way to go. Landscaping professionals love them for their speed and comfort, but they are also great for residential lawn owners. Choose between zero-turn mowers and rear-engine models with cutting-deck widths ranging from 26” to 66”. Keep in mind that these mowers require more maintenance since they are more like small vehicles.

Lawn Tractors

These powerful machines are perfect for mowing large areas of grass quickly and efficiently. They are equipped with a wide cutting deck and a powerful engine, so you can cover a lot of ground in less time. In addition to their mowing capabilities, many lawn tractors also have the ability to attach a range of attachments, making them highly versatile.
