lawnmower

Blade-spinning yard machine

A lawnmower is a machine with rotating blades that cuts grass to an even height.

Most are either push mowers powered by the user or self-propelled models with gasoline or electric motors.

Riding mowers handle larger areas.

I need to get the lawnmower serviced before summer.
