Why choose a petrol lawn mower?

  • Maximum power: ideal for thicker, longer or damp grass and for larger areas where cordless run time could be limiting.
  • No cables: full freedom to move around trees, borders and obstacles with no risk of cutting a cord.
  • Long run times: just top up with fuel and keep mowing – perfect for big lawns and frequent use.
  • Wide choice of sizes: from compact 39–41 cm mowers to 53 cm+ machines and professional-spec models.
  • Self-propelled and roller options: choose self-drive for easier mowing and rear rollers if you want classic stripes.

At Masseys we stock petrol mowers from leading brands including Mountfield, Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Weibang, Hayter and more, with many models on display so you can see and feel the differences in person.

Petrol lawn mowers by garden size

Small lawns – up to around 250–300 m²

For smaller gardens, a compact petrol mower is still a good choice if you want power and freedom from cables:

Medium lawns – roughly 300–600 m²

For most UK family gardens, a 41–47 cm mower with a good-size bag and (often) self-propelled drive will make mowing quicker and easier:

Large lawns – 600 m² and above

For bigger lawns, choose a wider cutting deck (48–53 cm) and self-propelled or variable speed drive to keep mowing times down:

For very large gardens and paddocks, consider a ride-on – see our
lawn tractor mowers section.

Petrol mowers with rear rollers for stripes

If you want the classic striped finish, choose a petrol mower with a rear roller. These press the grass flat after cutting to create a striped appearance that really sets off your lawn.

Mulching & side-discharge petrol mowers

Many petrol mowers now offer mulching and side-discharge options. Mulching finely chops clippings
and returns them to the lawn as a natural feed, while side-discharge is useful for rougher areas or when grass is too long to collect.

Petrol vs cordless vs electric mowers

As a quick comparison:

  • Petrol lawn mowers – best for medium and large lawns, tougher grass, slopes and more demanding conditions.
    Ideal if you want maximum power and do not mind fuel and servicing.
  • Cordless lawn mowers – great for small to medium lawns if you want low noise and no cords
    (see cordless lawn mowers).
  • Electric lawn mowers – good value for smaller gardens with easy access to a power socket
    (see electric lawn mowers).

If you are still unsure, our team can talk you through the pros and cons of each option based on your lawn size, layout and how you like to mow.
