Choosing the right lawnmower can almost be as stressful as choosing the right car. With a variety of makes and models, the options are endless. But, just like with vehicles you and your lawn have specific needs that need to be met. Before you start shopping around for the perfect mower, you may want to consider making a checklist of the things you need before leaving your house.
3 tips to help you successfully choose the perfect lawnmower for you:
- How much lawn do you have?
- Are you able to push mow your lawn?
- How much money do you have budgeted to spend?
How much lawn do you have?
If you are a seasoned professional, you know firsthand how long it takes to mow a lawn. That is why you have to decide how much time you want to spend mowing the lawn. If you enjoy mowing like most people, then a push mower may not be such a bad idea for you (as it also gives a great cardiovascular benefit). If you have more than .5 acres of lawn to mow you may want to consider getting a ride on mower to ensure a quicker mow time.
Are you able to push mow your lawn?
How are you physically? Are you able to push mow your lawn? Do you have health issues? Have you spoken to your doctor about the possibility of you mowing your lawn? If your health is not an issue then you may want to get a push mower, but if it is then you may want to consider upgrading to a ride-on or paying someone to mow your lawn for you.
How much money do you have budgeted to spend?
There are options galore when it comes to lawnmowers, but if the model you want isn’t within your budget then you may want to consider looking a few steps down. Mowers come with bells and whistles that may not really help you in the long run, so why pay for them? Ensure you have a budget set and you will be able to find a mower that fits your needs.
