Recent showers and belting hot sun have made the lawns grow apace and you can now start to lower the cutting heights on the mower.
Smaller lawns look better when cut short but many people like to leave a good covering of grass, especially if you have larger lawns.
So with the birds singing, sun warming up the soil and acres of white flesh being exposed for its first dose of the sun’s rays, here are ten cracking mower deals to give your lawns a summery feel.
The first is a great little machine for smaller lawns, exclusive to MowDirect new for this season and especially imported from the USA.

Cutting heights are from 28mm to 75mm and the grass box holds 45 litres of clippings.
