What Makes Cylinder Mowers So Special?
If your goal is to achieve that formal, well-groomed lawn with the iconic striped finish, a cylinder mower with rear roller is simply the best tool for the job. Unlike rotary models, which use a single, high-speed horizontal blade, cylinder lawnmowers use a rotating set of blades that meet a fixed lower blade to scissor the grass cleanly. This not only looks better, but also promotes stronger, healthier grass.
Let’s explore the benefits of cylinder mowers in a little more depth, right now…
- Unmatched Cutting Precision
The signature feature of every cylinder lawn mower is its superior cut quality. It delivers an exceptionally clean finish that you can see and feel underfoot. The evenness of the cut makes these mowers a favourite for sports pitches, ornamental lawns, and anywhere else that presentation matters.
- Encourages Good Lawn Health
Clean cuts reduce grass stress and lower the risk of disease. The precision cutting action means the grass heals quickly, encouraging thicker, greener, and healthier growth over time.
- Adjustable Cutting Heights for Fine-Tuned Results
Most cylinder mowers offer a choice of cutting heights, giving you control over how your lawn looks through the seasons. Whether you’re keeping it trim in summer or letting it grow out slightly during spring, these mowers adapt effortlessly.
- Defined Stripes with Integrated Rollers
Want to create those coveted stripes? Most of our cylinder lawnmowers with rollers leave a smart, striped effect as standard—ideal for ornamental lawns where aesthetics matter most.
- Eco-Friendly and Low Noise Options
From the traditional hand push cylinder lawnmower to electric cylinder mowers and advanced cordless cylinder lawnmowers, our range includes plenty of quiet, emission-free options. So, if sustainability is a priority for you, consider one of these mowers to leave a gentler footprint on the planet.
Which Type of Cylinder Mower is Right for You?
At Ron Smith, we cater to every kind of lawn owner. Our diverse selection of mowers ensures that whether you’re working with a compact city garden or a huge formal lawn, you’ll find exactly the right lawnmower for you.
Petrol Cylinder Mowers
If you require serious cutting power without the need for charging or cords, a petrol cylinder lawn mower is the robust and reliable choice. Ideal for medium to large lawns, petrol cylinder mowers give you the freedom to work anywhere without compromising performance.
Electric and Battery Cylinder Mowers
For a quieter, cleaner approach, electric cylinder lawn mowers offer a refined alternative. Choose from corded electric models or go completely cable-free with battery cylinder lawn mowers —perfect for precision mowing in smaller spaces or around flower beds. The latest battery powered cylinder mowers combine convenience with consistent performance and are rapidly becoming a top choice for discerning gardeners.
Push Cylinder Mowers
Prefer a more hands-on approach? Our push cylinder lawn mowers are ideal for smaller spaces and environmentally conscious users. These lightweight, easy-to-store models offer near-silent operation, making them perfect for early-morning or late-evening mowing without disturbing the peace.
Lawn-Specific Features to Consider
- Cutting Width: Choose a narrow model (30–35 cm) for tighter spaces or select a wider unit to speed things up across broad lawns.
- Roller Options: Looking for a crisp finish? Opt for a cylinder lawn mower with roller to create that classic striped look. (You can choose a push cylinder mower with roller, cordless cylinder mower with roller, electric or petrol-powered model from our extensive range.)
- Grass Collection or Mulching: Some cylinder mowers come with a grass box for easy collection, while others let clippings fall back as mulch to improve soil health naturally.
Keeping Your Cylinder Mower in A1 Condition
A cylinder mower offers exceptional results—but a little care goes a long way. Regular blade sharpening, seasonal lubrication, and thorough cleaning will keep your mower running smoothly for years. We also recommend servicing your mower annually, particularly if you’re using a petrol cylinder mower on a regular basis.

FAQs
What’s the difference between a cylinder mower and a rotary mower?
A cylinder mower uses a reel of blades that snip the grass against a fixed bed knife, ensuring a clean, scissor-like cut. In contrast, a rotary mower uses a fast-spinning horizontal blade to cut the grass. This makes cylinder mowers better equipped to provide a smarter, more manicured finish.
Are battery cylinder mowers powerful enough for regular use?
Absolutely. Today’s battery cylinder mowers are designed with powerful lithium-ion batteries, offering consistent performance, long run-times, and quick recharge capabilities. They're perfect for regular use on small to medium-sized lawns, and come with the added benefit of reduced noise and no emissions.
Can I achieve stripes with any cylinder lawnmower?
Most cylinder lawnmowers with rollers will naturally create a striped effect due to the rear roller flattening the grass as you mow. For clearly defined stripes, choose a model that includes a heavy roller or is specifically designed for ornamental lawn care.
What’s the best cylinder mower for a small garden?
A manual push cylinder mower or a cordless cylinder lawn mower with a cutting width of 30 to 35 cm is ideal for smaller lawns. They’re lightweight, easy to manoeuvre, and simple to store in compact sheds or garages.
How often should I sharpen the blades of my cylinder mower?
For the best results, sharpen your blades at least once per season—or more frequently if you’re mowing weekly or dealing with tougher grasses. Sharp blades ensure a clean cut and keep your lawn looking its best.
