Many of you will have given the lawn an autumn feed which will have produced a late flush of grass and kept the garden looking vibrant.
But you will need to keep the lawn trimmed to encourage it to keep growing before the winter snow and frosts set in.
And while you will need to raise the cutting height a little don’t do so too much yet – wait until the weather gets chillier.
If you need a new mower you will do well to buy one now so that it will be ready for next Spring – just give it a thorough clean before you put it away for the winter after the last cut of 2014.
Hayter makes some of the best machines available and have a reputation for manufacturing mowers that last. So here are three of their best.
Hayter Spirit 41 Petrol Push Rear Roller Lawnmower (Code: 617) has a 41 cm cutting width so it is suitable for smaller to medium sized lawns where you need a perfect striped finish.
This striped effect comes from the ribbed rear roller which lets you cut right to the edge of the lawn. There is a 155 cc Briggs & Stratton engine designed for very easy starting.
It also has a cutter bar friction disc so the crank will not bend if you hit a solid object and it has an aluminium chassis and the cutting deck is lined to prevent rusting.
Cutting heights are right down to 13 mm and the grass box holds 55 litres.
It costs £285 compared with the recommended retail price of £359 and it has a three year warranty from Hayter. We deliver it for free the following working day.
