Most folks think they need to buy a million different tools and pieces of equipment or hire professional lawn care services to maintain their property. But the truth is, there are 3 essential lawn care tools that will make your job easy and save you a ton of money in the process.

Electric Lawn Mower

Beginning with the absolute most essential and the only lawn care tool that can get the job done if you had to choose only one tool is the lawn mower.

With many types to choose from, which is the best lawn mower for you? From push mowers and riding lawn mowers to electric mowers and gas mowers, there are benefits and drawbacks for each.

Cutting a massive lot will be a lot easier with a riding lawn mower, but most people won’t need that. In fact, trying to use a riding lawn mower will be a pain in the neck to use on a smaller to medium sized yard with almost zero turn when needing to cut tighter corners and less area to maneuver. Push mowers are the most popular because it can take care of any size yard, small or large. Virtually all push mowers sold today will be self propelled lawn mowers which makes them easy to push.

Before purchasing a new mower, the question usually comes down to whether to buy a gas mower or an electric mower. There is a larger selection of gas powered lawn mowers to choose from vs electric mowers, but that’s because there has only been gas mowers being built for decades. Electric mowers are increasingly popular but are still considered new”ish”. Anyone who has worked with both an electric and a gas lawn mower will agree that an electric mower is the way to go for homeowners.

Here are a few reasons why electric mowers are better than gas mowers.

• Electric mowers DO NOT NEED GAS!!! Besides being eco-friendly, not having to go to the gas station to fill up a canister of gas every couple weeks and avoid the mess and toxic fumes that comes with working with gasoline is a huge benefit. Plus, gas is expensive.

• Electric mowers are easy to maintain. This benefit is probably equal to or in combination with the first benefit. Because the maintenance that goes into gas mowers can become insane. Every season, gas mowers need their oil changed, spark plug changed, new filters, and cleaning. Even when you perform all the required maintenance tasks, eventually the gunk will catch up to you and cause your gas mower not to start. At that point, you either pay someone an exorbitant fee to fix it or you DIY, which entails removing and taking apart the mowers carburetor and cleaning every tiny jet and ensuring there are no faulty tubes that feed gas and airflow to the carburetor and engine amongst other parts of the mower. Electric mowers don’t need any of that. They don’t even need oil to run since there are no moving parts that need to be lubricated.

• Electric mowers will save you money. Electric mowers won’t need replacement parts that are standard maintenance for gas mowers and don’t use gas or motor oil which are also increasingly expensive.
