Lawn Mower
Maintenance & Repair

The best lawn mower for your yard depends on its size and terrain. For small yards under ¼ acre, a reel or electric push mower is sufficient. Medium-sized yards up to 1 acre benefit from a self-propelled gas or battery-powered mower. Larger properties over 1 acre require a riding lawn mower or zero-turn mower for efficiency. Consider additional features like mulching capabilities and adjustable cutting heights to enhance lawn care.

Lawn mower blades should be sharpened after every 20 to 25 hours of use, which typically translates to once or twice per mowing season. Dull blades tear grass rather than cutting it cleanly, leading to a ragged lawn appearance and increased susceptibility to disease. Inspect blades regularly and sharpen or replace them as needed for optimal cutting performance.

Before storing your lawn mower for the winter, perform a thorough cleaning to remove grass and debris. Drain or stabilize the fuel with a fuel stabilizer to prevent carburetor issues. Change the oil, remove the battery (if applicable), and store the mower in a dry, covered area. For added protection, cover the mower to shield it from dust and moisture.

Gas lawn mowers offer power and longevity, making them ideal for large yards but requiring regular maintenance. Electric corded mowers provide consistent power with no refueling but have limited mobility due to cord length. Battery-powered mowers offer convenience and eco-friendliness but have limited runtime based on battery capacity. Choose based on yard size, convenience, and environmental considerations.
