Choose Green Report: Lawn Care Equipment
June/July 1998
Green Seal makes a convincing case for electric over gas-powered mowers — based on air and noise pollution as well as cost — but recognizes that they are ideal for small businesses or residential sites; guidelines for purchasing gasoline mowers are therefore included, along with a discussion of advances in engine efficiency. Green Seal’s research results in three pages of recommended lawn-care equipment, including walk-behind mowers, grass trimmers, hedge trimmers, and riding mowers. The report also offers well-manicured tips on maintaining your lawn or garden and what to do with your old equipment.
