I'm not much of an expert on these things. Having recently just bought a house with the wife (behave westBerks R ), the turf on the new build is bedding down. Problem is, the garden is two tiered ie steps to the back garden. So a petrol mower is out of the question unless so one has invented something light and movable.
Anyone got any good tips on mowers ie ones to avoid etc. I want a fkcing lawn like the Lords outfield
Being a Fulham fan, can I suggest that you take on a gardener — there must be a keen young boy from the village eager to earn himself £10 a week working up at the “Big House”?
just had same issue last year. Can depend on size of the lawn, but used Which? as a starting point for their best buys and then went and compared with reviews and feedback on Homebase and Argos etc. Ended up with a nice priced electric Flymo hover mower.
Generally look at cutting blade width, power and grass storage capacity. The bigger the lawn then the bigger and more powerful mower you need (unless you like mowing the lawn as a hobby for a whole afternoon). Having a larger grass collecter means less topping and starting to empty the mower.
If you PM me your email I will send you the current Which? Best buys as a starter (I tried to post it, but formatting seems to lose a lot of the details.

This....
problem is that Charlie though the NHBC warranty including the lawn being maintained for the first 10 years too
oh the life in the burbs, comparing best buy lists for lawnmowers and discussing the merits of petunias over Hydrangea for the flower beds!
What about that thing they advertise on TV for edges of beds? Looks like an angle grinder on a pole but much less dangerous (I f'kin HATE using angle grinders) you can go around curves and shit.
Forget what it's called.

depends on how big the lawn in and how much you want to spend.
Spending £40-50 on a push mower will give a far better cut than a £40-50 electric one. if your lawn isnt very big, then its a no brainer. they are harder to push, you are are fit enough to cope
If you are going powered, hover movers do not cut as well as rotary mowers.
I have only used it once so far but it cuts well, is quiet and easy to lift. Oh, and very cheap at the moment!

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
If you are wanting it to look like Lords, then a cylinder mower is you only option, with perhaps a rotary as back up to remove any bents (flowering stems) that develop at this time of year. On top of that, you will have a lot of other jobs, such as scarifying, spiking, rolling, feeding, watering etc. Aim for a lower standard and certainly dont have children who litter the place with toys and damage the turf with whatever sport they choose to play on it.
