Small Lawn Mowers

Small lawn mowers are often the best choice for people with small gardens because they are lightweight, easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces, and compact for easy storage.

A small garden is generally defined as being no greater than the size of half a tennis court. If you are unsure whether your garden is small or medium-sized, there are many lightweight lawn mowers that can handle both successfully.

Small lawn mowers with a cutting width of 35-43cm will usually offer enough manoeuvrability to get around detailed features and ornaments, like trees, stepping stones and flower pots, without doing any damage. These lightweight lawn mowers are also easy to move from the shed to the garden and back again.

When choosing a lightweight, compact mower for a small garden, it’s worth considering whether you could use an electric lawn mower. These tend to be much lighter than their petrol counterparts, making them much easier to move and requiring less maintenance throughout the year.

If your budget allows it, you may want to invest in a small cordless lawn mower that offers the convenience and freedom of a petrol machine combined with the lightweight characteristics of an electric mower. Small electric hover mowers are also very popular in small gardens, providing you don’t let the grass grow too long between cuts, a hand propelled cylinder mower is also worth considering if your lawn is well-conditioned with an even surface.
