Cordless electric mowers are the fastest-growing segment of the lawn mower industry, because they're environmentally friendly and convenient to use. Comparison tests show that the new 36-volt Toro e-Cycler 20360 cuts moreevenly than its competitors, and its high dome mulches clippings well. The e-Cycler 20360's 20-inch cutting path speeds mowing and a fast charger make it usable again in three hours. The Toro e-Cycler is ideal for small, flat lawns, but if you need a self-propelled cordless mower that can use extra batteries for longer run time, consider the 48-volt Ryobi RY14110 (*Est. $400), which mulches well but doesn't cut as evenly as the Toro.

The 20-inch Toro e-Cycler 20360 cordless electric mower marks Toro's re-entry into the cordless mower market. Tests rank the Toro mower at the top for cutting evenness, and it also boasts a 4-inch maximum cutting height -- though adjustments require changes at each wheel. The high dome facilitates mulching, and tests show that it does mulch clippings well. Extra-fast charging brings it up to 70 percent in just three hours. However, if you need to swap out extra 36-volt batteries to extend runtime, reviews recommend the 19-inch, 36-volt Black & Decker CMM1936 (*Est. $400) for its lift-out batteries, though it doesn't cut quite as evenly.
The Toro e-Cycler 20360 cordless mower is too new to have accumulated many reviews, especially from owners. However, ConsumerReports.org covers it in its latest comparison tests, ranking it in comparison with eight other cordless electric models and 52 lawn mowers in all. The brand customer-satisfaction at J. D. Power and Associates covers Toro as a brand, but not this specific new model. The Toro e-Cycler earns top ranking in the 2010 review at Consumers Digest, no testing is documented. As of April 1, the e-Cycler is also a top cordless mower at retailer MowersDirect.com. Owner-written reviews at Amazon.com are just beginning to come in.

If you live in an area where regular snowfall is normal, then you are going to want to make sure that your winter law care strategy involves keeping your grass free of clutter and debris before the first snow should fall. Proper lawn maintenance in preparation for the first winter snow involves removing sticks, raking away the leaves and disposing of any other debris that should not be on your yard, before they end up buried beneath the snow.

Even if you are not exactly expending a great deal of snowfall, it is still vital that you make sure that your grass is free to breathe rather than left buried beneath piles of leaves, sticks and other rubbish. This rubbish can interfere with the grass needing to receive proper air, proper nutrients and proper moisture which is why it is so important that you clean up your yard before the first snowfall. Your grass may not be growing during this period of time, but if left buried for too long, it can still end up dying during the winter season.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that the summer is the most important season when it comes to controlling and preventing the growth of weeds. The opposite, however, is actually true because weed control is most important during the winter season. Weeds actually grow much more quickly during the winter than your grass can. If the weeds are allowed to grow without any control, your lawn may be dead by the time the spring runs around.

Because your lawn will be growing so slowly during the fall and winter season, it is rather simple to find the weeds that are growing during this time. All you have to do is make sure that you pay attention to your grass during these months, pulling weeds or applying weed killer as needed so that the weeds do not overrun the lawn, ruining your landscaping during the colder season.

If you plan on planting winter grass varieties like rye grass, then these will have the best chance of thriving when planted in October, which is the best time for them to take root. Make sure that your newly planted grass seeds get plenty of water even when the weather is chilly outside.
