Electric Lawn Mowing: A Greener, Smarter Way to Maintain Your Yard

Few innovations have been made in my lifetime that have had as much of an impact on the world as the battery-powered lawn mower. Not only has it revolutionized the way we care for our lawns, it has reduced air pollution and made our neighborhoods quieter. 

Whether you have a small urban lot or a large suburban lawn, electric lawn equipment can now fully meet all your needs. Three years ago, I purchased my first battery-powered zero-turn riding mower. That one piece of equipment has transformed the services I can offer my clients and expanded my clientele to a nearly limitless scale. Now, almost every major residential and commercial lawn equipment manufacturer offers battery-powered tools, from chainsaws to tractors.

It's no wonder electric has caught on so well. As a business owner, I sleep well at night knowing my equipment is more reliable than gas, and my services are quieter, cleaner, and leave no smelly fumes behind. Homeowners also enjoy the benefits of their own electric equipment, which has less maintenance, no trips to the gas station, and the reliability of knowing their machine will start with the simple push of a button. 

Modern electric lawnmowers are not the same corded mowers that my dad used to chew up extension cords with. With advances in battery technology, today's lawn tools are just as powerful, if not more powerful, than their gas counterparts while being lighter weight. To me, that means less damage to my client's lawns and less fatigue for employees. To homeowners, that means a dreaded chore is a little bit easier.  

As if power and reliability weren't positive enough, electric lawn equipment is foremost more environmentally friendly than gas-powered lawn equipment. A new gas-powered lawn mower produces the same amount of air pollution in one hour as driving an average car 100 miles! Additionally, the EPA estimates that 17 million gallons of gas is spilled yearly by refilling gas-powered lawn equipment. Electric lawn equipment eliminates these harmful emissions and spills entirely, helping you reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner, quieter neighborhood, all while keeping your lawn pristine.
