1. Know Your Lawn
Before selecting a mower, consider:
- Size of your lawn
- Slope or terrain (flat, hilly, or uneven)
- Complexity (trees, flowerbeds, narrow paths)
- Time you have for maintenance
- Storage space for equipment
Once you know your needs, here’s a detailed breakdown of the types of mowers GSR Outdoor offers—and which one is best for you.
2. Types of Lawn Mowers at GSR Outdoor
Walk-Behind Lawnmowers
Walk-behind mowers are ideal for small to medium-sized residential lawns. They come in both push and self-propelled versions.
Advantages of Walk-Behind Lawnmowers:
- Affordable and easy to store
- Great maneuverability in tight spaces
- Precise cutting control
- Self-propelled models reduce physical effort
Best for: Homeowners with lawns under 1,000 m² who want full control over their mowing.
Garden Tractors
Garden tractors are built for performance and durability. These ride-on machines are perfect for larger lawns and can handle more than just mowing.
Advantages of Garden Tractors:
- Powerful engines for large or sloped lawns
- Can support attachments like trailers, dethatchers, and spreaders
- Comfortable seating for extended mowing sessions
- Wide cutting decks cover more ground quickly
Best for: Large properties, estates, or anyone needing a multi-functional garden tool.
Zero-Turn Mowers
Zero-turn mowers are the kings of speed and precision. They use rear-wheel steering to allow for ultra-tight turns, making them ideal for complex lawns.
Advantages of Zero Turn Lawn Mowers:
- Unmatched agility around trees, garden beds, and obstacles
- Faster mowing time due to superior maneuverability
- Dual hydrostatic transmissions for smooth operation
- High-speed cutting without sacrificing quality
Best for: Properties with lots of landscaping features or curved edges where tight turning is essential.
Riders
Rider mowers sit between walk-behinds and garden tractors. They’re ideal for users who want the ease of a ride-on without the size and cost of a full tractor.
Advantages of Riders:
- Compact design with the comfort of seated mowing
- Easier to store than tractors
- Simple controls, suitable for beginner users
- Affordable and great for medium-sized lawns
Best for: Mid-sized residential lawns and users wanting a balance between comfort and simplicity.
Front Mowers
With a front-mounted deck, these machines provide excellent visibility and access under bushes and benches.
Advantages of Front Mowers:
- Superior visibility of the mowing path
- Ideal for tight or awkward spaces
- Often equipped with all-wheel drive for hilly terrain
- Professional-grade performance with various attachments available
Best for: Commercial users, landscapers, or large property owners needing precise control and versatility.
Automowers (Robotic Lawn Mowers)
For a completely hands-free solution, automowers use GPS and smart sensors to mow your lawn automatically—day or night.
Advantages of Automowers:
- Silent, emission-free operation
- Cuts grass regularly for a consistently neat lawn
- Can mow in rain and return to its dock to charge
- Easily programmable from your phone
Best for: Busy homeowners who want a “set it and forget it” lawn care solution, and those who value sustainability and tech innovation.
