With technological innovations constantly making life easy for us, it's no surprise that it has also made lawn mowing more convenient. Robotic lawn mowers are now on the rise, providing unique features to improve the way you cut your grass. This innovative technology can autonomously mow your grass without needing any work on your part. It can navigate its way across your lawn through sensors and boundary wires and go back to its charging station all by itself. Before you make the switch, it's best to know the logistics of this technology and understand the pros and cons of using it. A robotic lawn mower is quiet and electric, which means it won't create loud noises that can disrupt the peace on your property in South Dakota, and you don't have to worry about it running out of gas! However, it cannot string-trim, edge, or blow debris off hard surfaces and is not ideal if your lawn has steep slopes.

What does it mean when a lawn mower is robotic?

A robotic lawn mower uses innovative technology to autonomously cut your grass at a consistent height without tedious effort on your part. This cutting-edge lawn maintenance equipment can expertly navigate around your lawn and has built-in sensors that enable it to detect and avoid obstacles. It can adjust its speed so it doesn't collide with any objects and find its way back to its charging station on its own after mowing your entire lawn. Because of this, you can rest assured that your robotic lawn mower is always ready for the next time you want to use it. Boundary wires are also installed along the perimeter to guide it, telling it where to go and where not to.

Pros of Using a Robotic Lawn Mower

Mowing your lawn is a tedious job, there's no doubt about that. So, when an innovative lawn mowing technology allows you to sit back and relax while your grass gets a much-needed cut, you don't want to miss out on that. That's one of the best things about a robotic lawn mower. It keeps your lawn looking manicured and pristine without you having to lift a finger! It can be programmed to follow a mowing schedule so you don't have to worry about your turf looking messy, allowing you to focus your attention on other important things. Here are the other pros of using a robotic lawn mower:

  • It's quiet. Unlike traditional lawn mowers that emit loud sounds and disrupt what would otherwise be a peaceful, quiet morning, a robotic lawn mower operates silently. It features ultra-silent technology, trimming your grass while maintaining the quiet environment on your property.
  • It's electric. A robotic lawn mower requires little maintenance because you don't have to worry about refilling it with gas. Since it can navigate its way back to its charging station, there's no need to pick it up after a mowing session and charge it yourself.
Robotic lawn mowers can mow your grass as often as you need it to, especially during its peak growing season, meaning it can stay consistently manicured.

Cons of Using a Robotic Lawn Mower

With the many benefits of using a robotic lawn mower, it also comes with a few downsides. For one, it can only cut your grass. It cannot string-trim, edge, or blow the debris off your hard surfaces. These tasks ensure that your entire lawn and property look pristine and manicured. However, oftentimes a program will be in place along with your robotic lawn mower where experienced lawn maintenance crews will come out to your property to handle these services. A robotic lawn mower is also not the best option if your lawn has steep slopes, but there are specialty ones designed for those between 41 and 70 degrees.
