Picture this: a warm sunny day as you sink into your favorite garden chair with a good book and a cool drink, ready to enjoy the peace of your outdoor retreat. Everything is peaceful and quiet, but then the earth-shattering sound of the lawnmower revving up jolts you out of your blissful state.
A familiar scenario, perhaps, but unnecessary these days. Your garden should be a place to switch off and just listen to the sounds of nature – so why ruin it with the excessive noise of a conventional lawnmower? And, while we’re at it, why spend sunny days mowing your lawn when you don’t really need to? Upgrade to a robot lawnmower this year and weekly mowing could become a thing of the past, along with the noisy mower.
Robotic lawn mowers take the hassle out of lawn care as they can be programmed to mow within a set area without you having to do anything, giving you more time to relax and enjoy your garden.
Even for gardeners who find mowing their own lawn therapeutic, there are still advantages to using an automated lawn mower as robot lawn mowers can be controlled by apps and smartphones, meaning you can keep your lawn in tip-top condition even when you’re not there.
Robotic lawn mowers are also more environmentally friendly than petrol or electric lawn mowers, and they eliminate the need to dispose of clippings – with the clippings being so small that they are redistributed across your lawn, returning nutrients to the soil. Their ‘little and often’ mowing regime can actually improve the appearance of your lawn. Despite these benefits, some gardeners remain unconvinced by the advantages of robotic lawn mowers. They are often put off by the need for unsightly antennas and boundary wires, as well as the complexity of setup.
In fact, many gardeners also find it hard to believe that a robotic lawn mower could be as perfect or as precise as their own. However, professional garden equipment manufacturer Kress says its new line of products addresses all of these concerns.
This satellite-guided robotic lawn mower from Kress requires no on-site antennas or complicated boundary lines. Using GPS technology, it also doesn’t require any additional hardware – the Kress installer simply programs the mower to operate within your set range and you’re good to go.
While some previous robotic lawn mowers have been criticized for veering off course or creating wavy, messy mowing paths due to long, tall, and wobbly antennas, Kress says its RTKn line of lawn mowers is accurate to within a centimeter.
Kress also says their precision mower is easy to use, can be used daily, promotes new grass growth and helps homeowners control pesky weeds.
Adopting a low-and-frequent mowing approach to your lawn means your grass can stay lustrous and healthy with just a little trimming each day, reducing the need for lawn fertiliser.
Kress’ RTKn range has mowers to suit every shape and size of garden, with models capable of mowing areas ranging from 600 to 24,000 square metres, from the Kress Mission RTKn 600 with OAS to the Kress Mission Mega RTKn 24000. Each model in the range is silent, meaning your ideal outdoor setting will not be disturbed while the mower is in operation. Programmed to cut in parallel lines, they will also create perfect stripes.
And so, as well as being a more environmentally friendly alternative to petrol-powered lawn mowers, with the Kress robotic lawn mower you can rest assured that your lawn will look as good as possible, even when you’re lounging in the garden with a glass of Pimm’s in hand and a book on your lap.
A neatly trimmed lawn and more time in the garden doing the things you love: two compelling reasons to join the robot lawn mower movement.
