By Joseph Green

Whether you own a small patch of land or a vast expanse of rolling hills, you’re probably going to need a lawn mower. If there’s grass, it needs to be cut.

Fortunately for you and your land, you can find suitable lawn mowers for just about every type of garden. Nowadays, gardeners can purchase manual, electric, cordless, robot, and petrol lawn mowers from recognisable brands like Bosch and Hyundai.

We can’t pick the best lawn mower for you, because it depends entirely on the conditions of your garden and how often you plan to actually get out there and mow the lawn. However, we can point you in the right direction by shortlisting a selection of impressive devices that should work for everyone. We have tracked down examples of every type of mower so you can get a taste of what’s on offer.

If you have a small or irregularly shaped lawn, we recommend considering a manual or cordless mower from a popular brand like Flymo or Einhell. These provide a level of maneuverability and convenience that petrol mowers can’t match. If you have a larger lawn, you could probably benefit from the power that self propelled mowers offer. Alternatively, you could sit back and relax whilst a robot lawn mower does all of the hard work for you. The choice is all yours.

We’ve checked out reviews, customer feedback, and everything you need to know about the best lawn mowers so you don’t need to spend hours doing the research. The result is this selection of impressive devices for you to check out.

These are the best lawn mowers in 2020.
