Your lawn mower

  • As a general rule there are two types of mower to choose from:
    • Cylinder mowers are best for fine lawns but require a lot of adjustment and care
    • Rotary mowers are best for general purpose use and can be suitable for fine lawns or rougher lawns.
  • The golden rule is that no matter what type of mower you use; make sure that the blade is sharp. A blunt blade will tear at the grass and cause bruising to the top of the leaf that will turn brown and stress the grass.
  • Lawntech recommends that you have your rotary blades sharpened at least once per season and, in the case of cylinder mowers, ensure that the cylinder is adjusted correctly to the bottom blade before every cut. This process is easy once you know how, so ask your local garden machinery shop for adjustment advice
