A deep enough dip in the
surface of your lawn will
also present problems,
possibly causing the
mower’s wheels to lose
their grip and skid.
If you don’t want to avoid
mowing this area, it’s best
to fill it with soil, compact
it down and re-seed it
with grass.
If the area is on the
perimeter line this can
be pegged out as normal.
If it is within the mowing
area it should no longer
be a problem.
Excessively uneven areas of lawn
Periodically inspect the area where the
machine is to be used and remove all stones,
sticks, mains cables, bones and other foreign
objects. If there are any potholes or bumps in
the lawn, please fill /shovel them in.
Posts and poles (e.g. washing lines)
Fences and walls around trees
There may be parts of your garden which will be challenging, and it
will change direction on making contact with things like:

10cm
6cm

Dug borders
Trees with exposed roots
Flower beds
Ponds and water features
Excessively uneven terrain
But it will need to be kept away from:
The wire must be kept taut and never be allowed to loop or cross over itself. Ideally if
ground is particularly uneven the wire can be buried up to 30mm deep and pegged
down to secure. This can be achieved easily with a manual edging tool. If this is not
desired or possible then the wire should be firmly pegged around the garden with
pegs at a minimum of 1m intervals, keeping the cable taut to avoid it being cut by the
mower, more so at corners and over uneven terrain.The cable should be positioned a
minimum of 30cm from the edge of the garden, as the mower will overlap the wire,
although it will not stray past it.
