Automatic Mowers: Electric Lawn Care for Homes and Grounds

In most cases, the term automatic lawn mower refers to what’s commonly known as a robot mower — a self-operating, electric lawn care system. This guide explains the differences and how to choose the right one.

If you’re searching for an automatic mower in the UK, you’re in the right place. These smart electric machines take care of your lawn on their own — no pushing, pulling, or reminders needed. Whether you’re looking for a compact automatic mower for your garden or a commercial-grade model for sports turf, GroundTech offers the latest solutions to suit your space.

What Is an Automatic Lawn Mower?

An automatic lawn mower is a self-operating, battery-powered machine that cuts your grass without human input. Once installed, it runs on a schedule, trims your lawn regularly, and recharges itself when needed. Most models are controlled via an app or onboard panel, making them a truly hands-off option for lawn care.

Automatic mowers are commonly used across:

  • Domestic gardens
  • Private estates
  • Commercial landscapes
  • Sports fields and public grounds

How Do Automatic Mowers Work?

These mowers use smart navigation, onboard sensors, and GPS (on some models) to move across your lawn safely and efficiently. They maintain a consistent cutting height and cover every part of the lawn over time. After mowing, they return to their base station to recharge — no cords, no manual intervention.

Many automatic mowers in our range are compatible with mobile apps, allowing you to:

  • Set mowing schedules
  • Check battery levels
  • Adjust cutting settings remotely
  • Track mower location in real time
