Which Mowers Can Be Used for Commercial Landscaping?

There are many different models of Zero-Turn Mowers that can help when it comes to commercial landscaping. That said, there are also many different models that support residential use. Let’s first take a look at the difference between the two types of models.

What is the Difference Between Commercial and Residential Lawn Mowers?

The main difference between the two is that commercial lawn mowers, especially those for landscaping, are oftentimes more expensive, have higher endurance, and carry many additional features. Durability can also be a main differentiator, because commercial lawn mowers are built to withstand use on larger properties, over a longer period of time. Residential lawn mowers, while functional, are great for use on smaller properties.

WHAT IS THE BEST MOWER FOR A LANDSCAPING BUSINESS?

The best lawn mower for your landscaping needs often depends on the type of terrain you'll be working on, the size of the properties you'll be maintaining, your budget, and personal preferences. That said, zero-turn mowers are a great choice for businesses looking for a lawn mower with a wide cutting deck, powerful engine, and high quality performance.

WHAT IS CONSIDERED A COMMERCIAL LAWN MOWER?

A commercial lawn mower is a heavy duty and high-performance machine that is designed especially for long usage. Most commercial lawn mowers are designed to run for 12 hrs straight or mow 2-20 times a day. Commercial mowers are also designed with greater speed to increase productivity within professional landscaping, grounds maintenance, or lawn care businesses. Residential mowers, on the other hand, are only designed to run 6 hours with roughly 1-2 mows per week.

WHAT IS THE BEST BRAND FOR COMMERCIAL LAWN MOWERS?

There are several brands that produce quality commercial lawn mowers. That said, when choosing a brand for your commercial lawn mower, it's important to review the brand's quality, durability, and performance in the landscaping industry. John Deere has been recognized to produce lawn equipment that is made specifically to meet the needs of professional landscapers, while offering a variety of performance options and models, no matter the size of production.
