Buy, lease, or use a robot mowing service?

You can buy a mower, lease one, or pay for a mowing service. Each choice leaves you with different work. List the work you want to do. Read the terms. Then compare costs.

Buying a mower

Ask for the equipment price, installation cost, warranty, expected maintenance, and service options. Check whether your property fits the model before buying it. Include charging equipment and any site work in the quote.

Decide who will clean the machine, change blades, handle faults, and arrange repairs. A warranty and a maintenance plan can cover different things.

Leasing a mower

Check how and when you pay. Read the term, return rules, and damage terms. Ask who handles upkeep and repairs. Trimly provides winter storage for leasing and mower maintenance plans. Confirm the storage timing and terms when you choose the plan.

Do not estimate a lease by applying an assumed percentage to a retail price. Use the actual offer.

Choosing a mowing service

Review Trimly's current mowing prices and request a quote for the property. Confirm the mowing area, installation, support, and additional work. Precision Edge is a paid add-on; lawn-health and other services also need their own scope.

Use the robot-versus-crew guide to compare a complete service, not mowing alone against a full grounds contract.

Compare costs over the same period

List what you pay at the start, each month, and at the end. Add supplies and service work. Use the same number of months for each option. Mark repair costs as unknown if no coverage or quote is available; do not invent a resale value to make one option win.

See mower purchase options and request an assessment to compare offers that fit your lawn.
