If you want to mow your lawn efficiently and do a quality job, the type of lawn mower you choose is important. While they all do the same basic work, each style and model has different capabilities in terms of speed, precision, and convenience. Consider the most common style options and the benefits of each before deciding on your next mower.

Popular Lawn Mower Styles

1. Push Mowers

A push mower can be either gas or battery powered and offers the best control and precision of any mower option. Even the most agile riding mower cannot turn as sharply as a smaller walk-behind model. For this reason, they are ideal for smaller lawns and areas with intricate landscaping. If you have a steep yard, you may also want to choose a push mower, as they are more difficult to turn over.

2. Zero Turn

This is the next best option in terms of maneuverability. A zero turn mower is designed to have a turning radius of almost zero, allowing you to get in and out of tight corners using individually controlled wheels. Riding options are perfect for larger yards and moderate slopes for which pushing a lawn mower would be tiring.

3. Lawn Tractor

A lawn tractor differs from other riding mower models because the engine is in the front. This type of mower is a good choice for wide, open lawns which are flat or moderately sloped. They can also be fitted with a number of different attachments, such as brushes and aerators, to do more than just cut the grass.
