How do I know what size lawn mower I need?

For a lawn of half an acre, you’ll need at least a 16.5cm deck-size mower. For a lawn of two acres or more, you’ll need a mower with a 22cm deck size (or more). Using a bigger mower than you need just wastes money and energy.

How many cc lawn mower do I need?

For most purposes, a 160cc (petrol) mower is the best. Cc stands for ‘cubic centimetres’ and measures the volume of the engine’s cylinder. 190cc mowers are slightly more powerful, so you can use them to cut wet grass or grass that is tougher or longer than normal.

How long do lawn mowers last?

The length of time a lawn mower lasts primarily depends on how well you care for it. Quality mowers, given regular care, can last 10 years or more. At the other end of the scale, your mower might last as little as two years, if it is overused and under-maintained.

To keep your lawn looking its best, a good mower is a must. They are powerful, fast and efficient, allowing you to take care of large sections of your lawn in no time at all. ArchiPro features only the best lawn mowers in New Zealand, an important part of a wider range of high-quality garden tools.

Types of lawn mowers

There are two main types of lawn mowers that you can consider in New Zealand.

Riding lawn mowers

Riding lawn mowers significantly decrease the time required for mowing and are easier and less tiring to operate. They are great for large lifestyle properties.

Walk mowers

Walk mowers include all mowers – including manual, electric, and petrol – where the user pushes the mower along. They are better suited to smaller lawns and those with odd shapes.

The advantages of high-quality lawn mowers

There are many advantages to choosing a high-quality lawn mower in New Zealand to help you keep your property looking its best. High-quality lawn mowers are made with superior parts and components meaning they are stronger and often lighter to use. This, along with their extra sharp blades, makes them more fuel-efficient, cutting through the grass with ease. High-end models also use the latest technology, especially when it comes to electric lawn mowers and battery technology with intelligent motors that are able to detect and use just the right amount needed given the length and thickness of lawns. They are also manufactured by specialists with a long range of garden tools like chainsaws and hedge trimmers, which means you can use the same battery types for all, saving you money in the long run.

How to choose a lawn mower that’s right for you

When choosing your lawn mower in New Zealand, it’s important to choose the right type for the task at hand. If you own a large lifestyle block in the country then a riding mower will easily be your best bet. However, for an urban dwelling, a walk mower is more than sufficient. With the latter, you’ll also need to choose a preferred power supply be it electric or petrol. Again, the size of your property is a factor here as petrol mowers are powerful and will run for longer making them more suitable for large lawns. However, electric models are lighter and arguably more convenient with fewer fumes so make a great alternative to smaller-sized gardens. No matter what type of mower you choose, your final choice should always be a high-quality one as it will perform better, last longer and be well-supported by reputable manufacturers and suppliers.
