Lawn Mower Guide helps people in Australia choose the right mower, use it safely and keep it running. We publish guides to choosing a mower, including petrol versus battery, ride-on and robot mowers, buying second-hand and sizing a mower to your yard; to mower care, including servicing, blade sharpening, safe use, battery charging and storage; and to lawn care, including mowing heights for Australian grasses, mowing in heat and drought, noise rules and dealing with clippings. Our mowing height planner turns published height ranges into a simple mowing plan.
Why we exist
Mower advice is often written by people selling mowers, and the safety and noise rules that matter are spread across government sites. We want home owners and DIY gardeners to have a clear, neutral starting point.
How we work
We write every guide in our own words. For safety, noise and lawn care facts we rely on official and expert sources, such as the ACCC's Product Safety Australia, state environment protection authorities, WorkSafe Victoria, Fire and Rescue NSW, Queensland Government and council fact sheets and Turf Queensland, and we list our sources on each page. We never invent statistics, prices, quotes or testimonials, and we don't rank brands.
Independence
Lawn Mower Guide (lawnmowersforsale.com.au) is an independent information site. Despite the domain name, we don't sell mowers. We are not a retailer, manufacturer, repairer or government agency, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by any brand, business or agency named on this site, any previous operator of this domain, or any business with a similar name. Brand names appear in image captions only where they're visible in photos.
General information only
Our guides are general information. Always follow your mower's manual, the local rules where you live and the advice of a qualified repairer for anything beyond basic maintenance.
