ABOUT US
Meet the Dads
Hi, there fellow lawn care enthusiasts I’m Marty, owner of this site and a passionate lawn care enthusiast.
Lawn care is one of the things I love most about the weekend. The smell of freshly cut grass, drowning out the world’s distractions (wife) behind the roar of the lawn mower.
I have convinced some of my neighbours, to share their own passions and knowledge about lawnmowers and lawn care with other Dads. So that everyone can have a much better weekend.
Our lawn mower buying guide
How we assess our mowers to find the best one for you.
For a mower detailed idea of what to look for when buying a new lawnmower see our top buying guide here.
Ease of use:
A few factors are considered to summarize how easy the mower is to use, with differing weighing on each given class of mower. For example, weight is less of a factor with a ride-on mower or a self-propelled mower given that the user needs to put less effort into physically moving it.
Ease of use score factors in weight, the manoeuvrability of the mower and the turning circle you can achieve with it.
Cost relative to others of the same class
Cost is an important consideration in our buying recommendations. We look at the asking price of the mower against the average cost of the same types of mowers elsewhere in the market.
Engine size relative to others of the same class
Engine size and engine output affects the amount of gas or battery spend the mower will go through and the ease in which it will perform the cutting of the lawn. Again we assess the engine output against others of the same class of mower elsewhere in the market.
Number of functions/ attachments
There are currently a number of features that are standard with different types of mowing machines.
Differing cutting widths adjustable heights, and bagging or mulching capabilities that a consumer will want to be aware of to make an informed decision.
Unusual features
We look at anything that makes the mower stand out from its peers. We also assess the conditions for these features to be beneficial.
Recommendation for size and terrain of lawn this is best suited to.
Lastly, we will attempt to recommend which type of lawn and terrain the mowers are best suited for.
