Lawnmowers

A lawnmower is a must-have for garden owners 

If you’ve got a garden, a reliable lawnmower is practically essential. The lawn is often one of the first things people notice, and it plays a big part in making your outdoor space look tidy and inviting. But grass grows fast, especially during spring and summer, and if you don’t mow it regularly, the garden can quickly start to look a bit neglected. 

With a good lawnmower, keeping the grass in check becomes much easier. It saves you both time and effort, and mowing regularly also has a positive effect on the health of your lawn. The grass grows thicker, greener and more resistant to moss and weeds.

Which type of lawnmower should you choose? 

When the grass starts growing and the garden needs a refresh, it’s important to pick the right lawnmower. At Biltema, you’ll find a wide range of models, each suited to different needs and garden sizes. But which type is the best fit for you and your garden? 

Battery-powered lawnmower 

A popular and practical choice for many garden owners is the lightweight battery-powered lawnmower. It’s quiet, cordless and easy to handle – especially in small to medium-sized gardens. There’s no need to deal with petrol or oil, and it’s also a more environmentally friendly option. Just keep in mind that battery life can be limited and will need regular charging. On the plus side, you get a flexible mower that makes it easy to keep your lawn looking neat. 

Petrol lawnmower 

If you’ve got a larger garden or uneven terrain, a standard petrol lawnmower can be a great choice. It packs plenty of power and handles tall or dense grass with ease. Many petrol lawnmowers are also self-propelled, making it easier to mow for longer periods. On the downside, they’re noisier than other types and require a bit more maintenance. You’ll also need to keep fuel on hand, which isn’t always the most convenient. But in return, you get a sturdy machine built to handle even the toughest mowing jobs. 

Electric lawnmower 

Another option is our range of electric lawnmowers, ideal for smaller gardens. They’re lightweight, easy to use, and often more affordable than both battery and petrol models. If you’ve got access to a power outlet near the garden, it can be a simple and efficient choice. The downside, of course, is you’ll need to keep an eye on the power cord while mowing. But if that doesn’t bother you, it’s a reliable and budget-friendly machine that gets the job done. 

Robotic lawnmower 

Prefer not to push a lawnmower around at all? Then a smart robotic lawnmower could be the perfect solution. It’s a self-driving mower that takes care of the lawn on its own once it’s been set up. That means you can enjoy a freshly cut lawn without lifting a finger. It can be programmed to mow at specific times and works quietly in the background. It does require a bit of setup to get started, and the tech comes at a higher price, but in return, you get maximum convenience and a perfectly maintained lawn every day. 

How to take care of your lawnmower 

No matter if you’ve got a robotic model, a petrol engine or a compact electric mower – it’s important to take good care of your lawnmower. With a bit of maintenance, it’ll last longer and perform better throughout the season. Here are a few simple tips that apply to most types of lawnmowers:  

• Clean the lawnmower after use: Grass and dirt quickly build up under the deck and around the wheels. It’s a good idea to use a brush or a damp cloth to remove the debris once you’ve finished mowing. 

• Check and sharpen the blades regularly: A blunt blade puts unnecessary strain on both the lawn and your lawnmower. Make sure the blades stay sharp and rust-free. 

• Store your lawnmower in a dry place: When you’re done mowing, store the lawnmower indoors – ideally in a shed or garage – to protect it from rain and moisture. 

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions: Whether it’s oil changes, battery care or replacing filters, it’s always a good idea to follow the maintenance guidelines provided with your lawnmower. 

By taking a little extra time to look after your lawnmower, you’ll not only get better results you’ll also extend the life of your machine for many seasons to come. 

Get great results every time with your lawnmower 

A neat, even and well-kept lawn doesn’t have to take a lot of effort – but it does require using your lawnmower the right way. Whether you’ve got a robotic mower, an electric model or a petrol-powered machine, there are a few simple things you can do to get the best possible results. 

First and foremost, it’s important to mow the lawn regularly. If you leave it too long, the grass can grow too tall, making it harder for your lawnmower to cut evenly. A good tip is to avoid cutting more than a third of the grass height at a time – this keeps your lawn healthier and looking better. It’s also a good idea to change direction each time you mow. This stops the grass from lying flat in one direction and helps you achieve a more even finish.

FAQ

Which lawnmower is best?

The best lawnmower depends on your garden size and your specific needs. For small gardens, electric or battery-powered models are often ideal. Larger lawns usually require a petrol lawnmower or a garden tractor to get the job done. If you want to put in minimal effort, a robotic lawnmower is a great option.

What’s the difference between a grass cutter and a lawnmower?

There’s no real difference – they’re two terms for the same type of garden equipment. “Grass cutter” is more commonly used in everyday language, while “lawnmower” is the more general term. Both refer to machines used for mowing lawns of various sizes.

When should I choose a robotic lawnmower?

A robotic lawnmower is a great choice if you want a well-kept lawn without spending time mowing it yourself. It takes care of the job automatically, cutting the grass on a regular basis. It’s especially well suited for even lawns and for anyone who’d rather spend their time on something other than mowing the grass.
