As with other products, choosing the right mower for your lawn doesn't have to be a major decision. The key drivers for your mower pick come from the following: how big is your lawn, and how frequently do you mow your lawn? Typically, if your lawn is relatively small, with light to medium-bladed grasses, such as rye or bluegrass, self and non-self-propelled gas or electric-powered push models work fine. Coverage of large yards with heavy types of grass blades is better suited for riding lawn mowers or commercial grade lawn mowers. For any lawn size and type, there is always a good model that will cover the yard maintenance tasks. We will start our review by looking at the options using electric powered mowers.

Electric lawn mowers are the perfect choice for small to medium-sized lawns. To get the coverage you need without a problem, make sure you have a long extension cord for maximum reach. When you operate electric lawn mowers, you will be pleased with the cost savings of running off wall power instead of high priced gasoline, as well as the absence of fumes and quiet operation. The low hum of the motor will be music to your ears.

If your yard is too large for an electric mower, or you simply want more horsepower than an electric unit can provide, then another option for choosing the right model is a gas-powered mower. You will find that there is a large array of features and benefits to choose from for gas powered mowers. For starters, let's begin with gas-powered, push lawn mowers.

A very popular choice in home lawn care today are push lawn mowers. You will find that these models are easy to move around, a snap to maintain, and can save you a lot of gas money as compared to the big riding lawn mowers. You can keep your lawn care effort manageable by using a self propelled option, as well as bagging and mulching options to reduce your workload after the mowing is done. Overall, this category continues to remain popular due to their range in function and affordability.

Now we have worked our way up to the high end of riding mowers. Riding lawn mowers are used on larger-than-normal lawns and almost exclusively for commercial lawn mowing applications. Some examples of riding lawn mower options include a sickle bar mower for tractor driven mowing as well as dual cutting deck mowers which cover larger areas more quickly.

You will not need to worry about choosing your next mower now that you have gotten a good overview on the subject. Use your knowledge about your lawn care needs to decide on a category that best meets your goals and objectives. Now you can move out on that new mower! Good luck!
