Choosing your new lawn mower might seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to be. Of course, there are plenty of options, but not all of them are necessarily the right fit for you and your lawn. The size of your yard, how fast your lawn grows, and who will be operating the lawn mower, should all play a role in your decision. If you’re looking for a new one, here’s what you need to know. 

5 Types of Lawn Mowers

1. Self-Propelled

A self-propelled mower, with the right maintenance, can be very beneficial on hot, summer days. This mower has mechanics that propel it forward as you steer it in the right direction. This type of mower is worth considering if you don’t have the strength to push a mower over long grass or if you live in a hot, humid area.

2. Push Mower

You are the power behind a push mower, usually weighing 60 to 70 pounds. If you are physically fit and like a good workout, this is an excellent option. In addition to burning calories, you will generally spend less on maintenance with a push mower than other types.

3. Reel Mower/Cylinder Mower

If you are trying to figure out the most environmentally friendly way to cut your lawn, this is it. A reel mower uses no gas, battery power, or electricity—you are the only power source behind this mower. This option will also ensure that your grass stays healthy and lush. 

4. Robotic Lawn Mowers

If you are up to the challenge of programming and installing it and don’t have the time to cut the grass, this is an ideal option. This option is also so quiet that it can run at night without disturbing the neighbors.

5. Riding Lawn Mowers

Riding lawn mowers are usually the go-to option for residents with large lawns. What will take hours on end with a walk-behind mower, can take much less time on a riding mower. Depending on the mower, you may still need to walk around the perimeter of the yard to trim the edges. However, overall, you’ll save time.
