Find the Perfect Lawn Mower for Your Lawn

No matter the size of your lawn, you need the right lawn maintenance tools to keep it looking lush but not overgrown. At Lowe’s, lawn mowers come in a wide assortment, so you’re sure to find the right option to help you spend more time enjoying your lawn and less time mowing it. From Toro riding lawn mowers to John Deere lawn mowers to EGO electric push mowers, we carry a selection of brands that you know and trust.

The Right Mower for Size of Your Lawn

The most important factor to consider when choosing a lawn mower is the size of the area you need it for. If your lawn spans an acre or less and you like a hands-on approach, a push mower may be right for you. If you’re dealing with a small lawn and you care about saving energy, a reel lawn mower is the most economical option. You power this type of mower by pushing it yourself. For a speedy mowing experience with less of a workout, a self-propelled mower moves forward on its own. You just need to steer. This makes it easier to navigate uneven land. For a more conventional option, consider gas lawn mowers. They can handle just about any yard with ease and provide hassle-free maneuverability. Just crank with a pull-start or a push-button and you’re good to go.

The array of choices goes on and on at Lowe’s. Riding lawn mowers, for example, are ideal for lawns 3/4 acre and larger. They make mowing your lawn quick and efficient, they can be fitted with attachments for various outdoor projects and they can typically last between five and 10 years when they’re well maintained. Zero-turn riding mowers make moving around obstacles easy. These mowers are best suited for professional use.

For a truly hands-free mowing experience, robotic lawn mowers can take over your landscaping work. They’re the easiest to use — just define the mowing area and program them to run according to a set schedule — and they can handle up to an acre of land.

Lawn Mowers by Fuel Type

Another factor to consider is the type of fuel your lawn mower will use. Push and riding lawn mowers can be either electric or gas powered, while robotic lawn mowers are strictly electric. If you want an electric push mower for your lawn maintenance, you have a choice between corded and cordless models. Gas-powered mowers have the most power, while electric mowers are lighter and quieter and require less maintenance. For durability and ease of use, choose from our selection of the best electric lawn mowers. Alternatively, battery lawnmowers make a great choice. They will enhance your overall mowing experience with more power. The cordless feature makes it hassle-free to use which means no spills to clean and you save on fuel.

If you prefer a particular brand of engine for your mower, you can filter a search by engine brand on our website. Lowe’s offers mowers from well-known companies such as Honda, CRAFTSMAN, Kawasaki and Briggs & Stratton.

Parts for Maintenance and Repair

Whether you choose an electric push mower or a gas-powered riding mower, you’ll likely need to replace certain lawn mower parts eventually. All lawn mowers have drive belts that are essential for movement. Riding lawn mowers also have deck belts . All mowers have air filters that need to be cleaned and spark plugs that may need to be replaced. You should have your mower blades sharpened once or twice a year. Sharp blades are essential to keep your lawn mower from Lowe’s running efficiently. If you have a gas-powered mower, you’ll need to change the lawn mower’s oil regularly, just like you would for a car. You’ll also need to replace other parts, such as mulching kits, at some point. Proper care and maintenance are crucial to ensuring your lawn mower will last, which is typically between five and 10 years. Follow instructions like avoiding mowing wet grass. It can cause blockages, overheating and permanent damage to the lawn mower, and if you’re using an electric mower, it can increase the risk of electric shock.
