Meet Your Lawn’s New Best Friend
Summer is just around the corner. How exciting is it? Knowing we’re leaving the ice and snow in the rear view and looking forward to sunny days, warmer nights, and everything starting to green up as buds appear on the trees and your lawn remembers its one job and starts sending up all those blades of grass.
Oh yeah – that lawn is going to grow up and glow up. How quickly we forget during the cold winter months – that lawn is going to get green and lush, and you’re going to have to maintain it.
You’ve got options! From the neighbor’s son down the street to our expert lawn care experts – and, of course, you always have the option to dedicate your weekend afternoons to lawn care.
I mean, who needs to rest up, lounge in the backyard, go golfing, or play pickleball or any of those other fun summer activities? We’ve got a lawn to mow!
Welcome to the future of lawn maintenance. Instead of hiring someone or using up your spare time mowing your own yard, I’d like to talk to you about automowers. Consider a Roomba™. Now, look out your window and consider your lawn. An automower is a lot like that. What a time to be alive! And what a time for Nardella’s Turf Care to offer complete installation and service of Husqvarna automowers.
What Is a Husqvarna Automower?
Way back in 1995, Husqvarna introduced the Solar Mower. This was the first robotic lawn mower, bringing lawn care to an exciting new level of convenience! As befitting its name, this first generation of automatic mower was solar powered. Thirty years later, the automower concept has grown, evolved and improved to what we have today: a rechargeable lawn mowing machine that returns to its charging station when it’s done for the day. Boundary wires keep your Automower confined to your yard, exactly where you’d like it to mow.
From those solar beginnings, the automower can now be programmed to function on the schedule of your choice, is energy efficient and helps reduce your carbon footprint when compared to a traditional gas-powered mower, and helps keep your lawn fertilized via tiny clippings, healthy and beautiful.
The Benefits of Going Robotic
What’s not to appreciate about any household tool that uses a ‘set it and forget it’ model? With a Husqvarna Automower, you can use an app on your phone or even your home smart assistant, like Alexa or Google Assistant.
Concerned about the health of your lawn? An automower will cut a little at a time, but more frequently. This is better for your lawn overall and will keep it well-fed with frequent tiny bits of clippings.
And if your clippings are being immediately reincorporated into the lawn, that’s one more step you no longer have to worry about: raking up the cut grass and disposing of the clippings.
The automower is quiet, nothing like the ear-splitting engine noise you’re used to hearing first thing on a Saturday morning! Again: set it and forget it!
This battery-powered mower won’t have any emissions, either, because there is no gas involved.
And, of course, the worry while using a corded electric mower is totally eliminated with an Automower. Constantly keeping your eye open so you don’t mow your cord is a thing of the past with a self-propelling, self-charging automower!
The size and mechanics of an automower can make even the most complicated lawn easy to keep mowed.
Smart Features for Modern Homeowners
With lawn care of the future comes lawn care management of the future.
App or home assistant controls will allow you to take care of everything so easily; just a swipe and a few taps, and your mower will know what to do, how long to do it for, and when to head home and rest.
Some models even incorporate GPS coordinates for even more precise mowing tailored to your yard.
Husqvarna Automowers even work in the rain, so a little wet weather won’t be a reason to let it go. The small blades will work on wet grass, keeping everything neat and tidy even in inclement weather. The mower is light enough that it won’t leave heavy marks or ruts in the lawn, even when it rains. Also, if the mower’s sensors detect too much rain, it will know when it’s time to stop and return to the charging station on its own.
Safety matters: The Automowers come with PIN security features, alarm systems, and some even have GPS location available, just in case.
Why Nardella’s Turf Care?
We are authorized and well-trained in managing your Husqvarna Automower, starting with an initial site inspection to help guide you to the right machine for your needs. We can take care of the installation of the wires used to contain the mower, as well as routine maintenance, setup, and programming. We can facilitate your software updates when needed, as well as keep the blades nice and sharp and shut your Automower down for the winter.
Our teams have been trained directly by Husqvarna to provide you with the most current, efficient care and upkeep of your mower system. We, in turn, pass that knowledge on to you so you can make the most of your Automower.
But Is It Right For Your Yard?
The answer to that question is most likely yes! Your Automower can be programmed to move around almost any lawn (and yes, that includes stripes in some models) and is designed to move away when encountering large rocks or branches.
While it’s always a good idea to walk your lawn regularly, removing downed branches or small items from the lawn, your Automower knows where to go and figures out the spots it needs to avoid.
Of course, swampy areas or sections with tough reeds or weeds may not be a good place to send an Automower, as well as rocky areas or areas with protruding tree roots. Otherwise, however, your Automower is truly an example of a smart machine and will keep itself out of trouble more often than not.
Future-Proof Your Lawn
A Husqvarna Automower is a smart investment for the future of your lawn and the future of your suddenly free weekends. Your future lawn will thank you (probably) as the frequent, quiet maintenance takes place (even overnight), all the while fertilizing and helping aeration by preventing thatch while it mows.
