What are automated lawn mowers?
Automated lawn mowers or robotics lawn mowers cut household lawns automatically, without the need for an operator to be present. They were first offered by Husqvarna in the late 1990’s.
They provide the perfect solution for households, whether you want to cut the grass when no-one is at home, perhaps you are physically unable to mow the lawn or simply want to spend your time doing something else instead. There is also no need for petrol and are actually cheaper to use than petrol machines.
What makes Husqvarna automated lawn mowers special?
They are the market and product leader in this technology, they provide more innovation and connectivity. For example they have the ability to connect to apps. The Husqvarna connect app can be linked to your smart phone via bluetooth or the telephone network dependant on the model.
On the app you can change grass cutting height, cutting times and modes, tell you where the mower is within your garden or even alert you to a problem.
What about lawn quality?
It’s not just about ease of use, automated mowers outperform your more traditional lawn mower when it comes to lawn quality. They recycle grass, put nutrients back into the lawn and give a consistent cut height. In short the grass stays greener and healthier.
How safe are automated lawn mowers?
It’s natural to worry when a new technology enters our living space. Some of us may have once had concerns about electric cars or smart fridges, which in time and with use, our fears are alleviated. Automated lawn mowers may be relatively new to households, but they are safe when installed properly.
The Husqvarna lawn mower has sensors, so when the mower bumps into an edge or senses obstacles, or is lifted, they automatically stop or turn to go the opposite way.
Gammies offer a free site visit to access suitability and offer an installation service to lay the perimeter and guide wires in the lawn – that allow the robotic mower to operate.
You can use your automated lawn mower, safe in the knowledge that it has been set up by the professionals, with over 20 years of experience with robotic mowers, Gammies, sell, service, install and repair. Gammies really are the automatic lawn mower specialist.
Five reasons to go automatic:

- You will have more leisure time to do the things you really want to do in life!
