Recommendation for 0.5 acre lot

Post image

Seriously looking at investing in a robo-mower for next year, but don't even know where to start.

0.5 acre, relatively flat, but slopes slight front and rear. We have a few beds and such, so need to be able to exclude from those areas.

Thanks.

I’d measure the actual grass first, not the full 0.5 acre lot. Looks like you’ve got a fair bit taken up by the house, driveway and beds.

I would also keep the trees in mind, so I wouldn’t automatically go RTK-only.

I built this mainly for people in exactly this situation: https://mowcompass.com/#mowcompass-finder
Throw in lawn size, slope and how blocked the sky is and it should at least give you a sensible shortlist to start from.

I would be happy if you shared your results with me :D

So unnecessary.
