A lawn is to a garden what a living room is to a home. The green carpet introduces elements of space to the arrangement and creates viewing axes. Interestingly, every 100 m² of lawn annually produces enough oxygen for 10 people, and also increases the humidity and cools the air.A classic lawn is square or rectangular.This is obviously not a binding canon that must be followed.
On the contrary, there are many opinions that irregular, gently undulating forms are more attractive and interesting.Which variant we choose depends primarily on the shape of the plot. The key factor is how much time we can devote to maintaining the lawn. The simpler and more regular its surface, the easier it is to care for.
This practical aspect should be remembered especially when the green space is to be diversified with flower islands, indentations, grassy paths. Let's check if the mower can be operated freely. A lawn, especially a large one, does not have to be flat like a table. Gentle hills and valleys, as well as terraces are an interesting diversification of the green space. However, also in this case, the entire surface of the lawn should be easy to mow.
Too much slope of the terrain may make it difficult or even impossible to operate the mower, therefore the maximum slope of the ground should not exceed 30 °.It is also worth checking how much sunlight reaches particular places in the garden.If the terrain is uneven and there are narrow nooks and crannies and hard-to-reach places, it is worth equipping yourself with tools that will facilitate maintenance.
In our test you will see how easy it is to cultivate a lawn in hard-to-reach places - even right next to a fence or concrete walls. Thanks to innovative mechanisms, we took care of the annual lawn care with ease!
Maintaining the lawn in hard-to-reach places

It provides effective cutting, additionally securing the blades against jamming. Comfortable and light construction makes work quick and pleasant, without unnecessary stress on the back and spine. The 360 ° rotatable blades allow you to work at any angle, even in hard-to-reach places.
Additionally, you can use the Fiskars GS42 short grass shears, which have an ergonomic handle with additional finger protection that ensures comfort and safety during work. The ergonomic, lightweight design makes work more enjoyable, and the 360-degree rotatable blades allow you to work at any angle, even in hard-to-reach places.
The blades are made of stainless steel and the handles are made of polyamide. Safety is ensured by an easy-to-use blade locking mechanism. It will be perfect for hard-to-reach nooks and crannies, when trimming right next to plants, when we have little space and do not want to hook the plant with the blade.
