{"title":"Lawn Mowers","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat size lawn are you mowing?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLawn size drives almost every mower decision. A small courtyard or strip suits a compact electric or push mower that's light and easy to store. An average suburban lawn is the sweet spot for a battery or petrol mower with a 16 to 18 inch cutting deck. A large block or sloped yard wants a wider deck, self-propelled drive to save your legs, or even a ride-on. Measure or pace out your lawn honestly, because a tiny mower on a big lawn takes forever, while a big mower on a courtyard is awkward to turn and store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePetrol, battery or electric mower?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic trade-off applies. A petrol lawn mower gives the most power and unlimited run time for large or thick lawns, but it's heavy, needs fuel and servicing, and is louder. A battery (cordless) mower starts at a button press, runs quietly with no fumes, and handles average lawns cleanly — the popular modern choice — a cordless mower limited only by battery run time. A corded electric lawn mower is cheapest and lightest for small lawns near power, though the cord is fiddly. Big or thick lawn leans petrol; average lawn leans battery; small lawn leans corded electric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat features actually matter on a mower?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few features earn their keep. Self-propelled drive pushes the mower for you, a real back-saver on large or sloped lawns. Adjustable cutting height lets you set the grass length for the season and lawn type. A catcher collects clippings for a tidy finish, while mulching chops them fine to feed the lawn. A larger deck cuts more per pass but is harder to manoeuvre in tight spots. Decide which matter for your yard — self-propelled for big lawns, mulching for lawn health, a catcher for neatness — and skip features you won't use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you keep a mower running well?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasic upkeep keeps a mower reliable for years. Clean grass off the deck after mowing so it doesn't clog or rust. Keep the blade sharp — a blunt blade tears grass, leaving brown tips, rather than cutting cleanly. For petrol mowers, change the oil, clean the air filter and use fresh fuel, draining it before winter storage. Battery and electric mowers need almost none of this, just blade care and a clean deck. A well-kept mower starts first time each spring; a neglected petrol one becomes a frustrating no-start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePetrol or battery lawn mower — which is better?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePetrol gives unlimited run time and power for large or thick lawns but needs fuel and servicing.
