Choosing a Lawnmower
We have come up with the following table to assist you in choosing which lawnmower may best suit your personal requirements. This table is a guide only and has been based on matching your minimum requirements to the lowest cost option. Upgrading to a higher specification machine than your minimum as defined by the table is even better and will make mowing your lawn even easier.
Did you know that the average Australian house block is becoming smaller over time? The average size of a house block for Australian Capital Cities dropped from 800sqm in 1993/94 to 735sqm in 2003/04. For the purpose of the table below, we will call an average sized house block 750sqm. The old quarter acre block or just over 1000sqm is now a medium to large house block.
