ROBOTIC LAWNMOWER TERMS & CONDITIONS

Split Sections

​

Robot lawn mowers are all very well if you have a regular shaped lawn in one section, but what if your lawn is quite a complicated shape or if it is split into two or even more sections of grass? There’s not much point in having a robot lawn mower that will only cut one area of your grass but leave you having to cut the other areas with a conventional lawn mower.

​

Thankfully, complicated lawns are normally no problem for robot lawn mowers. Lawns split into several sections can be managed by almost all robot lawn mowers, but it may take some planning to get the best setup.

​

One of the easiest strategies is simply to extend the perimeter wire around the second or third area of grass in a continuous loop. Usually this involves lifting the robot lawn mower between the two sections of grass as required. However, you’ll need to lift it back to the charging station manually. This isn’t the best option, as one of the key benefits of having a robot mower is that you’re not meant to have any input with cutting your grass.

​

Another option is to purchase a second charging station so that the lawnmower can be lifted from one section to the other as needed, perhaps once or twice per week. This will let it work and charge autonomously, and the only input from the user is to lift it between sections of grass as required.

​

A third option is to purchase a second robot lawn mower. This sounds crazy but can be a cheaper option for some. There are some very good values robot lawn mowers that can manage lawns of up to 600 sqm. These are often less than half the price of models that can manage 1000sqm. If your lawn is split into two fairly equal sections, this would work well. You may forego some of the smart features of more expensive robot lawn mowers, but this maybe an option for you to consider.
