| I am moving to new house that has a small front yard (400-500sq ft). I have never had a lawn before and wanted suggestions on what tool to use to mow the lawn. Would a string trimmer work or should I get the smallest electric mower that is available? I tried to search previous posts on this, but only founds ones that talked about 1/4 acre lawns or 100 sq ft patches. Any resources on general lawn maintenance/care would also be appreciated since I know nothing about lawns but am hoping to learn! |
| Electric weed whacker. |
| Pet goat. |
| Scissors. |
| Reel mower |
This is what we use for similar size yard. Think the electric weed whacked would also work well if you have and outdoor outlet. We don’t, so it’s a pain. |
Electric lawn mower. It’s like a vacuum

You need to pick a battery. I use 18v Ryobi, which is fine, but you could do some research based on whatever tools you want. Then you get 2 or 3 of the batteries and you collect tools as you need them.
For the lawn I would get the smallest mower for that battery, personally, and a string trimmer. Our drill, saw, leaf blower, etc etc are all on the same battery. |
