Buying the Right Mower for Your Lawn

Not all lawn mowers will suit your property. Use the following tips to help you find a great fit, then visit Abell & Son to shop lawn mowers for sale. We have dealerships in Lake Charles and Welsh, Louisiana.

For Small Yards with Minimal Inclines

If your yard is 1/4 acre or less, you can get by with a simple push mower. These models have cutting widths between 14'' and 22''. Most models will require you to push them, but some can run off of gas or electric power. They are the most affordable option and tend to start at around $80, but they also require the most effort on your part.

For Medium Yards with Moderate Slopes

If your yard is between 1/4 and 1/2 acre, a self-propelled lawn mower is a good option. These models have cutting widths of 21'' to 61''. They will be gas or electric powered, so no manual labor required. Some self-propelled lawn mowers can also pair with attachments.

For Large Yards with Hills

If your yard is at least 3/4 of an acre, consider a riding lawn mower. Operators will sit and steer the lawn mower, rather than walk behind or push the model. Riding lawn mowers have cutting widths ranging from 26'' to 54''. Most riding lawn mowers can also handle attachments.
