Robotic Mowers – Great Grass with Little Effort

Comment

 RoboMower

Are you tired of spending hours in the hot sun cutting your grass? No matter what size yard you have, the sweltering summer temperatures make it almost unbearable to devote enough time to efficiently mow your lawn. The RoboMower Robotic Lawn Mower is the perfect solution. It can be used to give you a perfectly manicured lawn with very little effort and almost no physical labor. All you have to do is push a button and the RoboMower does all the work.

It is run by three battery-powered blades that create a 21 inch cutting path. The grass is cut into small clippings that are buried in the roots of the yard. The clippings eventually decompose and act like natural fertilizer so there is no need to remove the clippings. RoboMower stays in your yard due to a special sensor that recognizes a standard wire that you install around the edge of your yard. Using small pegs every few meters, you create a fence that corrals RoboMower into the desired area. It is fast, easy to use, and effective. You will not go back to manual mowing again!

Garden Arbor

Looking for a fun and functional way to add beauty to your garden? Garden arbors are structures, often made of wood or metal, that serve as an attractive focal point in a backyard or garden. They can be used as a gateway into your garden or create a cozy corner to sit and enjoy your hard work. In order to make the most of the space that you have in your garden, most arbors feature side panels that double as a trellis for climbing plants and vines. Many even offer a bench so that you can relax outdoors. Simply throw on some outdoor pillows and you have a backyard retreat. You don’t have to be a carpenter to have one of these beautiful structures; most come partially pre-assembled and can be put together in under 30 minutes. Fun, functional, and easy…what could be better?
