I have a small yard, maybe a quarter of an acre. Do I need a big, expensive mower?

Not necessarily! A lighter, more maneuverable push mower or a cordless electric model could be perfect for smaller yards. They're typically more affordable and easier to store, saving you money and space.

These allow you to store them vertically and save space in your garage or shed. To improve maneuverability, consider a mower with a <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Lawn-Mowers/High-Wheel/N-5yc1vZc5arZ1z21ore?emt=plpfaq_2506_lawnmowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">high-wheel</a> design, as the larger rear wheels make turning and navigating uneven terrain much simpler.
