Frequently Asked Questions

Starting most petrol mowers is straightforward. Check there�s enough fresh fuel in the tank, make sure the spark plug lead is firmly attached, then set the choke or throttle for a cold start. If your mower has a primer bulb, press it a few times. Pull the starter cord with a smooth, firm action and allow the engine to warm up before mowing.

Most petrol lawnmowers run best on standard unleaded E5. Try to avoid E10, as it has a higher ethanol content that can cause problems in small engines. Always use fresh fuel because old petrol quickly goes stale. Four-stroke engines take neat petrol, while two-stroke engines need a specific oil mix.

The most common reasons are old fuel, a blocked air filter, a loose spark plug lead, or a spark plug that needs replacing. Check the fuel first, then inspect the air filter and spark plug. If the mower has been stored with fuel in the tank for months, drain it and refill with fresh petrol. Also ensure the safety bar is held down, as most mowers will not start without it.

It depends on your garden. Petrol mowers offer more power and deal well with large lawns or tougher grass. Electric mowers are lighter, quieter, easier to maintain and ideal for smaller gardens. The right choice comes down to the size of your lawn and how much power you need.

A well-maintained mower can last 10 years or more. Petrol models benefit from yearly servicing and clean fuel. Electric models can be just as long-lasting, though electric versions may eventually need a new battery. Good storage and simple maintenance usually extend the life of any mower.

The 1/3 rule says never cut off more than a third of the grass height in one mow. Removing too much stresses the lawn and leads to weaker growth. Following the rule encourages stronger roots, a thicker sward and an overall healthier lawn.

You can, but it�s better to wait until the lawn is dry. Wet grass clumps, sticks to the mower and creates an uneven finish. It can also strain the mower. If you need to mow, raise the cutting height and go slowly.

Lawns usually stop active growth by late October or early November in the UK. Aim for your final cut when growth slows noticeably. Set the mower slightly higher than usual so the lawn enters winter with enough leaf to stay healthy. Avoid mowing if frost or waterlogging is present.

How to Choose the Right Lawnmower

Start with the size of your lawn. Smaller urban gardens often suit a lightweight mower electric model for quick plug-in convenience. Medium lawns benefit from electric lawn mower designs with wider cutting decks and strong motors. For larger lawns, slopes or thicker grass, a petrol lawn cutter or petrol motor mower will give the power and endurance needed for a clean, even finish.
Next consider how you like to mow. If manoeuvrability matters, a grass mower electric model is ideal for weaving around borders and planters. If you prefer uninterrupted mowing with no cable and more cutting force, a petrol lawnmower or petrol push mower gives you full freedom of movement. If you regularly tackle longer or wetter grass, petrol lawn mowers remain the most capable and robust choice.
Think, too, about practical features. Adjustable heights help you maintain lawn health through the seasons; generous grass boxes reduce emptying runs; and foldable handles make storage easier in sheds or garages. Whichever style you choose, reliable mowers deliver a neat cut, improved lawn condition and a finish you can take pride in.

How to Care for Your Lawnmower

A little maintenance keeps any lawn grass mower performing at its best. After each use, empty the collector and brush away loose clippings from the deck. Keep blades sharp to avoid tearing the grass, which leads to brown tips. For electric grass mower models, check the cable for wear and store it neatly to prevent damage.
Petrol lawnmower care is straightforward too. Periodically check oil levels, keep air filters clean and run the engine dry before winter storage. Petrol push mower models benefit from a quick once-over at the start of the season to ensure smooth running.
Store all mowers in a dry place over winter and, when spring arrives, your mower will be ready to give your lawn the crisp, healthy cut it deserves. With the right routine, any mower for grass will give years of dependable service.
