 The best type of lawn mower for a good quality clean cut is a cylinder mower. Using a cylinder mower is most essential when mowing a lawn that has very fine grasses. A rotary bladed mower may still be used in most cases for normal domestic lawns and amenity type grasses.
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 recommend 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 |
