Modern mowers give homeowners faster, cleaner results when matched to yard size and features. Battery cordless models now offer a low-maintenance, quiet alternative for small to medium lawns, while ride-on mowers remain best for large properties. Regular maintenance - checking fuel or battery, cleaning the deck, and sharpening blades - prevents interruptions and extends mower life. Use a trimmer for tight corners and follow safety practices. If you're considering a specific legacy brand such as Lawn-Boy, verify current model availability and ownership before purchasing.

Make mowing easier for your yard

Most homeowners spend part of the year mowing, weeding, and trimming. The right mower reduces time and improves results. Today you can choose from push mowers, battery-powered cordless models, and ride-on machines depending on yard size and obstacles.

Match mower type to your yard

For small, simple lawns a compact push mower works well. For medium yards, a battery-powered cordless mower often delivers quiet, low-maintenance performance and zero emissions at the point of use. Ride-on or lawn tractors suit large properties and steep grades where a push mower would be slow and tiring.

If your yard has beds, trees, or landscaping features, expect to use a string trimmer or edging tool to reach tight corners. Many modern mowers have mulching blades and side-discharge options that reduce trimming work.

Why size and features matter

Blade width and cutting height controls affect how fast and cleanly you mow. Wider decks cut more ground per pass but weigh and store more. Mulching capabilities recycle clippings into the lawn, reducing bagging time and returning nutrients.

Battery mowers have improved run times and quick charging, but you should confirm a model's battery life for your lawn size. Gas mowers remain common where long run times or high power for thick grass are needed.

Maintain your mower for longevity

Proper storage and simple maintenance extend any mower's life. For gas mowers: check oil, keep fresh fuel on hand, and use fuel stabilizer if you store fuel longer than a month. For battery mowers: store batteries in a cool, dry place and follow the manufacturer's recommended state of charge for long-term storage.

Always clean grass clippings from the deck, inspect blades for damage, and tighten loose fasteners before the season starts. Running out of fuel or power mid-mow wastes time; check fuel level or battery charge before you start.

Safety and efficiency tips

Wear eye and hearing protection when mowing. Mow across steep slopes rather than straight up and down. Take regular breaks on large jobs and plan mowing when grass is dry for a cleaner cut.

Brand note

The name "Lawn-Boy" has long been associated with compact walk-behind mowers; if you're considering that specific name, check current models and ownership status before you buy .
  1. Confirm current ownership and model availability for the Lawn-Boy brand and update buyer guidance accordingly.

FAQs about Lawn Boy Lawn Mower

Should I choose a battery or gas mower?
Choose battery mowers for quiet, low-maintenance use on small to medium lawns and gas mowers when you need long run times or extra power for thick grass. Check battery run time for your lawn size before buying.
How often should I sharpen mower blades?
Sharpen blades at least once per mowing season or sooner if you notice ragged cuts. Damaged or bent blades should be replaced.
What basic steps help mower longevity?
Clean clippings off the deck after use, check oil and fuel for gas models, use fuel stabilizer for stored fuel, and follow manufacturer guidance for battery storage.
Do I still need a string trimmer?
Yes. Even with a good mower, a string trimmer or edger helps reach tight corners, around trees, and along beds where a mower can't reach.
