If you are in the market for a new lawn mower, sorting through the possibilities does not have to be overwhelming. Knowing a few details about the size and scope of your property will help you narrow down options. Here is a guide to help you choose the right lawn mower for your land.

Property Less Than a Quarter of an Acre

For smaller lawns, a battery-powered mower is your best choice. Usually, you can get the entire area handled without losing battery if you choose this form. Battery-powered hand mowers are also quiet and easy to maintain—just remember to keep the unit clean and fully charged. For yards with levels and hills, opt for a more powerful gas mower, which will make inclines easier to navigate. 

Property Between a Quarter to a Half an Acre

These cut grass quickly and feature self propelled wheels to make the task easier. For land with slopes, make sure your lawn mower has rear or all-wheel power to make getting uphill less daunting.

Property More Than Half an Acre

When you have half an acre or more, avoid hand mowers and choose a riding mower or zero turn mower. Having the seat and the powerful engine reduces the time and effort needed for larger properties. These options also have enough capacity to last for a long time—without refilling the tank. If your property is five acres or more, opt for a lawn tractor or larger zero turn mower since they are larger and powerful enough for extensive square footage.

Tricky Terrain

Besides acreage, the type of land you have is critical. For yards with many obstacles like trees, bushes, or flowerbeds as well as tight corners, a zero-turn mower is best. These are designed to pivot around obstacles and cut close to them so that you do not need to go back and edge or trim.
