Lawn Mowers For Sale Near Birmingham, AL

Lawn Mower Buying Guide

In order to keep your grass tidy and neat, you need proper lawn-care equipment. The most important piece of your arsenal in this regard will always be a lawn mower. Lawn mowers come in many varieties to suit different mowing conditions, so you’ll want to think carefully about what you need before you buy one.

Yard Size & Shape

First, consider the shape and size of your yard, including any obstacles within it. A small, flat patch of grass with no trees, fences, or flower beds will be easy to mow with a simple push mower, and a really big flat yard can be tackled with a riding mower. However, if your yard slopes a lot or has a lot of obstacles, bigger mowers simply won’t be practical because they won’t fit. Your goal is to get a mower that’s compatible with the lawn you’ve got.

Physical Ability

Not all of us can use a walk-behind or push mower in the hot sun for hours at a time, and that’s okay. That’s why riding mowers exist! A riding mower can help to take a lot of the work out of mowing your lawn, which is helpful if you have a medical condition that requires you to limit the stress you put your body under. So think about whether you’re prepared to use a walk-behind or push mower before you buy one and look into riding mowers if you need them.
