Commercial Push Mowers and Edgers
Commercial push mowers offer a practical alternative to larger ride-on models, providing reliable performance in tight spaces.
Shopping for garden tools can feel overwhelming. With so many options for lawn care, it’s tough to know where to start.
If you're looking for something a bit less intimidating than the standard sit-on models available, enter commercial push lawn mowers. These are the ideal solution if you're looking for a smaller-scale product that does the job. Here's what you need to know.
Commercial Push Mowers, Trimmers, and Edgers
A sulky (see our sulky guide) is an attachment that allows operators to ride behind walk-behind mowers.
If you're looking for a reliable garden tool that covers a modest area of ground, it's best to stick with commercial push mowers. Suitable for small areas of land, push mowers require you to walk along with them while you tend to your grass. Standing over your lawn mower while mowing helps you see exactly what you're doing and whether or not you need to change anything up. Commercial push mowers are best used in conjunction with commercial lawn edgers and commercial trimmers. These specialized tools are designed to handle areas where standard mowers can't operate effectively, including steep slopes, tight corners, and edges along walkways or flower beds.
Battery vs. Gas Push Mowers
Battery | Power: Lower | Weight: Lighter | Maintenance: Less frequent
Gas | Power: Higher | Weight: Heavier | Maintenance: More frequent
Battery mowers operate at 65–75 dB, compared to 85–90 dB for gas models (2024 EPA Data).
Gas models, on the other hand, tend to do a much better job when cutting tall grass. They have much more power behind them and are regarded as more affordable. Both of these models work well for commercial or residential use. The type of lawn mower you go for depends on your circumstances and preferences.
Straight vs. Curved-Shaft Trimmers
Trimmers with curved shafts are used for cutting hard-to-reach areas, such as around flower beds and on the sides of lawns. These are especially helpful when trying to target awkward angles your mower can't get to.
Trimmers with straight shafts are generally used for standard jobs that require lots of power. This can be helpful for jobs under decks or behind large hedges or trees.
Push vs. Stick Edgers
Push edgers create clean, defined borders that give your lawn a professional, well-maintained appearance.
Stick edgers are used for edging things, such as driveways and walkways. Both push and stick edgers can suit your needs—stick edgers typically operate at around 85–90 decibels, while push edgers are slightly quieter. Choose based on your space and whether lower noise or more power matters most for your property.

Commercial Push Mowers and Edgers FAQs
Advantages of Using a Commercial Push Mower Over Other Types of Mowers
Push mowers are more affordable than self-propelled ones, helping you save money. The gas-powered models can handle the most challenging grass-cutting tasks and offer lasting results. Push mowers are also easier to operate and maneuver compared to other types of mowers.
For more details on mower safety and affordability, see the Consumer Reports Lawn Mower Buying Guide.
How to Maintain Your Commercial Push Mower or Edger
Routine care keeps your mower running longer and cutting cleanly. Follow these steps:
Sharpen the blade every season.
Clean grass from the deck after each use.
Change the oil and air filter every 6 months.
Replace spark plugs annually for consistent starts.
Can I Use a Commercial Push Mower on Steep Hills?
Yes—on moderate slopes up to 15 degrees. Always engage the self-propelled feature carefully, and wear sturdy footwear for traction.
Yes, you can use a push mower for steep hills because it's easy to maneuver. Just don't mow when the ground is wet, as it can become slippery and dangerous. Also, don't stop or start the mower on a slope.
See OSHA Lawn Mower Safety for guidance on mowing slopes safely.
Safety Precautions for Using a Commercial Push Mower or Edger
Wear protective clothing, including gloves, when handling the blades. Never go near the mower deck when the engine is running; rotating blades can cut or amputate fingers. If you need to adjust the cutting height, always turn off the engine first.

How to Choose the Right Commercial Push Mower or Edger for Your Needs
Match the machine to your yard and workload:
Deck width — choose 21–24 inches for small lawns or 30 inches or more for larger areas.
Drive type — front-wheel, rear-wheel, or all-wheel drive depending on terrain.
Engine power — pick enough horsepower or battery capacity for your typical workload.
Fuel type — consider gas, battery, or propane for your preferred maintenance routine.
Cutting options — mulching, side discharge, or bagging, based on grass volume.
Weight and storage — look for foldable handles if space is tight.
