Top Soil Tips

When planning to shop lawn mowers for a new unit to care for your yard, there are several factors to evaluate that will help you select a model that you will be quite happy with. The first factor involves your commitment to yard work and maintenance. Do you enjoy working outdoors? Will you have the commitment to change the air filter and oil, keep the blades sharp, hose off the unit regularly, and do all the things required to keep lawn mowers running at peak performance? If so, proceed! The second issue concerns you fitness. Are you in good health? If so, push lawn mowers should be considered since they offer a good opportunity for exercise. Check with your doctor if you have any concerns. This is especially true if you yard is less than ½ acre. Above that, a riding mower may be more practical.
The next issue in shopping for lawn mowers concerns the size of your yard. Big yards will get done more often if you know you've got a riding mower waiting your grass cutting session. Today's riding lawn mowers feature very comfy seats, a drink holder, and some are equipped with a mount for an umbrella! Put on the head phones, grab a cold beverage, and an hour or two on a riding mower can be something you'll look forward to all week! If you have a large yard, and your budget allows, you might want to buy two lawn mowers – a riding unit for the bulk of the work, and a trim mower to go around trees and other obstacles. That way, you'll get some exercise and have a fantastic looking patch of green! An in-between option when looking at lawn mowers might be a self-propelled walk behind model. These lawn mowers give you exercise, since you are walking and turning the unit, but don't require constant pushing. These are especially nice if there is some slope in your yard, since pushing up hill is tough. The gear will also prevent them from going too fast down hill.
If you choose one of the great riding lawn mowers available, gardening experts suggest you choose one with the largest engine you can afford. First, the larger the engine, typically, the larger the cutting width. Most larger riding lawn mowers feature two separate blades and may cut up to 48 inch paths. That will get a large lawn done quickly! Secondly, units with larger engines will give you the power to use it for other things: pulling a water-filled lawn roller while also cutting, attaching a snow plow or brush, or pulling a gardening wagon.
In short, considering your needs will help you choose a mower you will truly use to get your lawn looking fantastic!
