The garden, especially in spring and summer, needs regular cleaning of the grass, which grows by itself. Since frequent mowing of the garden helps, not only to clean it but also to grow healthy and beautiful grass, it is time to invest in a good lawnmower.
The lawnmower is a gasoline-powered hand-held machine, able to help you clean the garden, even in the most difficult places. But, as with all machinery jobs, so does the lawnmower. That’s why we give you some tips on how to clean your garden efficiently and safely!
Before you start cleaning
For everyone and especially for amateurs, who are now trying to clean your garden using a lawnmower, it becomes necessary to use some special clothing, which will facilitate your work. Also, be aware that freshly cut grass will stain your clothes, so go for something you don’t mind getting dirty. But above all, don’t wear baggy clothes, because they can put you at risk of injury.
Additional equipment to use is safety glasses, as various leaves, rocks and more are thrown. If noise bothers you, use protective, noise-reducing headphones. Finally, to avoid skin irritations, you must wear a mask, gloves, closed boots and long pants, so that your skin does not come into contact with pollen, dust and other allergenic substances.
Start cleaning
Having chosen the right lawnmower, you are ready to start mowing the garden. But, for your own safety and that of those around you, you must first clean the garden of stones and rubbish. In a garden, where grass has grown or it has taken time to be cleaned, pebbles and other rubbish are certainly hidden under the grass.
If you have not taken care to remove them before using the lawnmower, they can become projectiles capable of breaking windows and injuring passersby or yourself. The movements of the mower string are so fast, they can actually throw them around and cause damage. However, apart from these damages, damage can also be caused to the lawnmower itself. So to ensure everyone’s safety and avoid paying for repairs, pay close attention to cleaning up your garden.

With the movements, which you must follow as we mentioned above, you will start mowing your garden little by little, to get an even result.

Guided by the edges of the hard surface where the grass is, you can easily mow it in slow motions. Also, thanks to its long pole, you can also mow higher places, ensuring greater safety as you will not need a ladder.
