That is why in this article, we are going to be explaining wonderful and different types of mowers. One of the many differences between lawn mowers are the different blades attached to them. Another thing that gives you more variety are the options in how you want to use a mower. Walking and riding mowers are both viable options for your landscape.  Fuel TypeAdditionally, you are given even more options when you decide on what mower you want to use when it comes to the type of fuel it takes. There are electric, push, cordless, and petrol lawn mowers. Electric lawn mowers are usually used for more average sized gardens. They usually run off of cables. Push mowers are powered by movement. Using a push mower might not be the best for you if it is hard for you to move around. Cordless lawnmowers are similar to electric. The difference is that cordless lawnmowers are powered by battery. Petrol lawn mowers run off of gas and are commonly used for larger lawns. They usually cut grass faster but need the oil checked. Additionally, there are also robot lawn mowers which are similar to robot vacuums. TractionMowers also have different types of wheels that can effect the way it operates. Lawnmowers that have front-wheel make it easy to move around corners. Lawnmowers with rear-wheel drive work great if you need some sort of traction. Traction is usually needed when going up or the side of a hill.  FeaturesAre you still confused about what you should choose? Well, maybe looking at all the different features a lawn mower has can help steer you in the right direction. Some lawnmowers offer a grass box feature. Usually mowers will leave the cut grass on the lawn. However, a grass box collects those dead clippings. There are also self propelled lawn mowers.

It takes the grass, granulates it, and then deposits it back into the yard. Ever wonder how some people get a stripped lawn? This is beacause they have a rear roller attached. The rear roller gives you the ability to cut very close to the end of the lawn. Speaking of cutting close, some mowers offer you the chance to change the cutting heights. With that you can leave the lawn longer during colder weather or periods without a lot of rain. Possible ConsOn another hand, there could be some things that you don't want for a lawn mower. For example, petrol mowers cause emissions. Other movers may be hard to start up. Cordless lawnmowers need time to recharge, and usually have a narrow cutting width.

Ever wonder why your yard is always muddy? Stepping in a yard that causes muddy shoes and wet socks is never fun. Muddy and messy yards can be caused by multiple things like improper grading, water-retaining soil, and multiple other problems. Another problem that can cause your lawn to retain more water than necessary is a clogged landscape drain. What Are Landscape Drain?Landscape drains go by many different names such as catch basins, area drain, or drainage basins. Landscape drains are helpful in areas that retain a lot of water. Landscape drains are the similar to floor drains such as shower drains. They usually look like a metal grate and they are usually located at low points in your landscape. The purpose of a drainage basin is to collect water. Landscape drains can take the water away from your lawn and make your yard less moist.  How to Unclog a Landscape Drain:To clean out a landscape drain you must first retrieve all the tools that would be needed to complete the job. Tools you will need include things such as a screwdriver, a pair of gloves, a shop vacuum, and a garden hose. After that, you should make sure that there is no debris blocking the top of the drain. For the next step, you can remove as much debris with gloves as possible. If you cannot reach the rest of the debris, you can use a shop vacuum to suck out the rest of the debris. After you have cleaned out all that you can, you can wash the rest of the twigs, dirt, and build up out with a hose. Finally once you are done cleaning it, you can put it back on the cover, and you are done. Ways to Prevent Basins From Clogging In The Future: Make sure that you regularly clean out your gutters. Keeping your gutters clean will prevent extra leaves, branches, and dirt from clogging your drainage grates or drainage system. Additionally, you should remove any large plants or rocks surrounding the drain so that water may enter.
