Choosing the right lawnmower for your garden can cost or save you money.

Here are a few tips to help you select the best mower for your needs.

Cylinder Mowers.

Cylinder mowers are the best machines for giving a very clean cut look to the lawn, they give the best results when used on flat level lawns and are the best machines for producing stripes.

For best results when using a cylinder mower it is recommended to cut the grass once a week so not to let the grass get too long and prolong the striped affect you require.

If you only have the time to cut your grass once a month or so, or if your lawn is very bumpy / uneven then a cylinder mower is not for you.

Cylinder mowers are available as petrol or electric models.

Petrol mowers will be needed for larger lawns or where electric cables would be a nuisance or dangerous.

Electric mowers would be used on smaller lawns where they are used regularly so the grass does not get too long, so as not to over load the electric motors.
