With spring fast approaching and the weather slowly improving, you may find that it's time to dust off the old tools and lawn mower to get your garden ready for the impending summer. Your first step in sprucing up the garden is to tackle the grass, so you're go to machinery would be lawnmowers and strimmers.

How large is your lawn?
The size of your lawn, terrain and obstacles is the first thing you must take into consideration when choosing a new lawn mower. A mower that is perfect for your neighbour may not be the right one for you. Size, power source and weight of the lawn mower needed will change with different sized lawns. Are you looking for a design that is great at tidying up a small patch or do you want something that can whip through long grass in large areas with a big refuse bag.
What do you want to use as a power source?
Choosing the right power source, battery or petrol, is one of the most fundamental choices when it comes to purchasing a new lawn mower. Cordless mowers are cleaner, easier to maintain and more lightweight than their petrol counterparts. Petrol powered lawn mowers, however are sturdier and much more powerful, ideal for large lawns. Be that as it may, they do require more maintenance to sustain their power.
How tall or strong are you?
Some of our mowers have adjustable handles to give various heights to make for more comfortable use. Battery powered lawn mowers are much more lightweight to manoeuvre than their heavier petrol powered competitors. If you don't feel like you have enough strength to be lugging around a big weight for long periods of time then a battery powered option will be much more suited for you.
