Choosing a new lawn mower is a moderate decision much like selecting any other product where you have lots of choices. You need to remember that there are two big factors when selecting your new mower: what is the amount of lawn that needs mowing, and how frequently do you mow it? 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. For larger lawns, or lawns with heavier grass types, riding lawn mowers, or even commercial grade lawn mowers are possibilities. There are makes and models of mowers that can help you get your yard done in any situation. The first category we will examine are electric power options.

You will do well with electric lawn mowers for covering small to medium yards. Be sure to size up the power cable to cover all the areas you need to reach in your yard. The major benefits of electric lawn mowers are the quiet motor operation, energy efficient power source, and cost savings of electricity over escalating gasoline costs. Just the quiet time will keep you happy.

If you need a lot of power from your lawn mower to cover hills and other irregular terrain, then you may want to look into a gas powered mower to meet your requirements. There are quite a variety of choices in the gas powered mower marketplance to choose from. Push lawn mowers are a good place to start for our review.

The most popular models in the marketplace 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. Push lawn models come in both self-propelled and non self-propelled varieties, have their own bags, and many feature the beneficial option of mulching. The popularity of this type of mower continues thanks to the many choices and low cost options.

Now we have worked our way up to the high end of riding mowers. Riding lawn mowers are almost a necessity for commercial lawn care arrangements or very large home lawn layouts. 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.

Making a selection of a mower for your individual needs doesn't need to be an all consuming task fraught with peril. Use your knowledge about your lawn care needs to decide on a category that best meets your goals and objectives. The next step is to get going on finding the right mower! Go for it!
