How to Choose the Best Robot Grass Cutter for Your Lawn?

Not only do they offer a degree of convenience to outdoor maintenance, but they make it easier than ever for professional landscapers to achieve a perfect and precise lawn without causing damage to the surface, working around both resourcing and time sensitivities.

In this blog, we’re taking a closer look at the different benefits of robot grass cutters – sharing the standout features which can help to sway your decision in one direction or another when searching for the perfect mower for you.

And what better place to start than with the structure and design of the mower itself?

What to look for in a good robot grass cutter

The design of your robot grass cutter embodies everything from its size and integrated functions to the additional user features such as the connected app, ‘set it and forget it’ functionality, and the ability to both control and check in on the progress of your mower completely remotely.

Most robot mowers work via the schedule you set them to and can be programmed with both the boundaries and size of the landscape as well as the ideal lawn length in order to facilitate a perfect, precise, and regulated area of mowing.

Reliability is one of the most important features of a robotic mower, with our advice being to select a model which is favoured by both private buyers and commercial landscaping teams and outdoor maintenance organisations – demonstrating positive results across large and small spaces. In addition, those who are selecting a robot grass cutter for a very specialist outdoor area such as a sports or football pitch will want a professional grade device which not only delivers a premium cut but does so without damaging the ground underfoot, and which mulches clippings back into the soil.

In short, if you’re considering a robot grass cutter for your commercial or private needs, it’s important to consider the size and build, as well as the working mechanism with regards to the rotary blades, the efficiency of any integrated programs and apps, and of course the reliability of the device.

The benefits of a robotic lawnmower

Convenience is up there as one of the standout benefits of robot grass cutters and robotic lawnmowers, not only saving you and/or your outdoor team time and energy in maintaining a tidy lawn, but also enabling grass cutting to be done at a time that suits you. Whether you want the grass to be trimmed first thing in the morning or in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping, the beauty of a robot mower is that all the hard work can be done outside of business or user hours – so mowing never interrupts everyday activity.

Another benefit of robotic mowers, aside from removing a significant task from your to-do list, is the precision through which grass, pitches, and lawns can be trimmed and maintained. With the app and remote control function allowing you to set both the turf height and boundaries of the area for mowing with ease, you retain complete control over the activity of your mower without having to take a single step outside.

Additional benefits include the flexibility and freedom that robot mowers grant outdoor maintenance teams, and the homing beacon which returns the mower to its charging port when its task is complete. This final point, paired with the GPS functionality and integrated tracker means that the device itself is programmed to navigate the specified area and avoid obstacles, while users can track their device whenever they like.

So, with all these benefits in mind – and the concept of a robot grass cutter filling your mind – where should you start when selecting the best robot mower for you?

How to choose the best grass cutter for you – a buyer’s guide

Our buyers guidelines for selecting a grass cutter cover a number of points, namely the importance of reliability and integrated features which facilitate that ‘set it and forget it’ benefit, as well as the design of the mower so that it not only trims the grass to the right height but also uses the clippings as added fertiliser for the ground. Ideally, you should be looking for a mower with adjustable rotary blades which slice through the grass and then mulch it back into the ground – especially if you want to minimise disturbance of the ground through other maintenance work.

From there, the best cutter for your lawn or outside space will depend on the size of the area that you want to be mowed and your budget. Here at GroundTech, we work with buyers and clients from both the commercial and private corners of the industry, matching them with the best devices for their needs and requirements.
