Add a little green to your yard this year, and yes, we mean more than just the grass. The Greenworks Tools 20-Inch 24V 3-in-1 Mower features a powerful 24V 480 Watt-hour battery that powers a 20-inch wide mower deck with mulching capability. A fully charged battery can mow a 1/4 acre yard, so if you have a larger yard consider adding a second battery or opting for one of the plug-in counterparts. Don’t worry, just because its electric and battery operated doesn’t mean that you’ll have to push, this mower is self-propelled and has features similar to gasoline powered mowers. Greenworks Tools offers a large selection of cordless and corded lawn and garden tools. They include a 4 year warranty, so you can rest assured your investment is safe in your new green tool.

I really like our new reel mower we purchased from ecomowers.com They had a great deal on our model and offered free shipping. We purchased a Sun Lawn LMM 40 reel mower since it was one of the few mowers that can tackle bermuda grass. It weighs about 17 lbs. so I can carry it no problem, has nearly a 16″ cutting swath, and mows the grass as low as 0.4 ” to 2.2″ high. There is an optional grass catcher attachment you can get and collect your clippings for composting. I really like how easy it is to push and Matthew loves holding the lower handle and pushing it too. I love that I can now mow the lawn and not have to wait for Jon to do it. Sometimes he travels for work and I am forced to do the the yard work. I can not operate the gas powered mower, but with our new reel mower it’s a breeze. The only problem we have had is that we use pine bark mulch in our landscaping and that will stop the blade from spinning so you have to keep your lawn mulch free. Another issue is an unlevel lawn can also stop the blades. We sanded our lawn for the first time this spring and that seems to help with the uneven lawn. I think if we sand again next spring our mowing will be smooth sailing.
