Lawn mowing services provide a professional and organized lawn outdoor cleaning and maintenance. This is with the use of well-serviced equipment. Usually, lawn mowing would entail the use of a lawn mower machine which is suited for cutting grasses in residential lawns, gardens, golf courses and parks. This is because a lawn mower has one or more revolving or rotating blades that generally come in different types. This would include the following:

•Cylinder or reel mower – This is a form of mechanical mower that employs an assembly blade that rotates on a horizontal axis, carrying the lawn mower close to the grass.

•Rotary mowers – This type employs a blade that rotates on a vertical axis. It is often powered by an internal combustion engine that runs on liquid fuels or gasoline.

•Cordless mowers – This type is considered as a battery operated type of machine.

•Riding mowers – This is a type of machine where in the operator rides on it and controls the mower. It uses a horizontal rotating blade system that would go hand on hand with its multiple blades.

•Hover mowers – This is a rotary push powered mower that uses turbine in order to drive the air down, creating an air cushion that lifts the mower like a hovercraft.

•Robotic mowers – This is a robot type of mower that requires the user to set up a wire border that points out the area to be mowed. Plus, its boundaries will be trimmed as well.
•Professional grass-cutting equipment – This is used in larger platforms such as stadiums, universities and large establishments.

In history, lawn mowers were invented in the year 1827 by the famous Edwin Beard Budding, an English engineer. Edwin’s mower was designed to cut gardens and lawns, particularly on sports grounds as an alternative to scythe. The mower was patented on October 1830 and its manufacture began in the early 1860s. Hence, gasoline powered rotary mowers were introduced by Power Specialist Ltd in the 1930s.

Nowadays, many gasoline powered lawn mowers are seen in the market. Hence, side effects in our environment vary with the use of this machine due to the carbon dioxide emissions.

There are also several designs that are best suited for residential and commercial lawns. These are made and are currently being used by the evolving lawn mowing service companies.

Sustainable Office Expert to Speak at the Facilities Show

Lara Conaway, Sustainability Manager at office transformation specialists Morgan Lovell, will be speaking at the first Sustainable FM Academy, taking place at this year’s Facilities Show.

The Academy combines a series of presentations and debates designed to instigate thought and action on both waste management and energy in buildings.

At the event, Lara will cover the challenges, together with the easy wins, when creating a sustainable office refurbishment, and explore how to carry out a green office fit out within a typically designed 1960s multi-tenanted building.

She will also focus on a case study involving Morgan Lovell’s own sustainable office design and fit out at its London headquarters, which has achieved the highest BREEAM rating for an office refurbishment project to date in the UK.

Entitled ‘Creating the Sustainable Office – Conception to Completion,’ Lara’s seminar takes place on Thursday, May 15 at 12.30pm.

The Facilities Show runs at the NEC in Birmingham from 13 to15 May.

Lara has worked in the office design and office fit out industry for more than 10 years. The Sustainable FM Academy is sponsored by FMX and BSJ.
