Information only
Everything here is general information. It is not professional advice about your yard, your wiring, or how to fit a mower. Our answers come from the numbers brands publish, and from free maps and satellite photos. We do not run mowers on a test lawn. Follow the handbook. Hire a qualified electrician or landscaper when the job needs one.
The yard numbers are estimates
The yard finder reads public map, satellite and ground-height data. It lowers the figures brands publish for their mowers, so the limits we use are more cautious than theirs. Then it compares your lawn with those reduced figures. The numbers it gives you for lawn area, slope and tree cover are estimates, and they may be wrong. Outside the United States, the height maps we use give a reading only about every 100 ft. So a slope number there is rough. We work tree cover out from photos that may be years old. You drew the outline yourself, so it may not match your real lawn.
It can miss a retaining wall, a narrow gate, a gravel strip, a septic lid or a pond. It cannot see anything built after the photos were taken. It cannot see parts of your yard that no map covers. A mower we list as fitting your yard may still turn out to be the wrong machine for it.
Treat the result as a first list of mowers to look at. The finder does not survey your land. Nothing it shows is advice to buy a mower. Always do your own research. Walk the ground. Measure the gaps and the slope yourself. Read the maker's own numbers and handbook. Check they are for that exact model, and for your country. Check with the retailer or an installer before you spend money. You are responsible for deciding which mower to buy.

Accuracy
We check our numbers carefully, and we correct mistakes when we find them. But we cannot promise that everything here is right, complete or up to date. Numbers, stock and prices change. Brands revise their own figures. The same mower can even get different numbers in different countries.
Check the mower's current details, whether it is in stock, and the price with the store or the brand before you buy. So far as the law allows, we are not responsible for a decision you make because of something you read here.
