A lawn mower is a garden tool for mowing grass on lawns. There are a number of types of mowers, which makes choosing the right type very important for better results.

Choosing the right lawn mower can simplify lawn mowing and keep the grass looking healthy. To do this one has to compare features and cost, but also understand what type of mower is best for his or her yard.

One can select a push reel mower (cuts with a scissor-like action of rotating blades passing over a stationary knife) if one has a small lawn.

A diesel-powered trimmer, (cuts with a circular blade that rotates under a protective housing) can be a very good choice for a person with a large lawn made of grasses that don’t need to be cut shorter than two inches high. A riding lawn mower is meant for a really big lawn, to ease his work.

One can get a turbo sprint petrol (riding) mower from sh650,000 at Game Stores while in Nakasero hardware shops one can get this type at sh700,000.

Prices of these mowers depend on the size of the engine. A trimmer goes for as low as sh80,000. There is also the push mower which costs sh170,000.
