1 Frequent , small cuts result in less stress on grass , especially for warm-season varieties like Bermuda and St . Augustine , which thrive in regions needing regular cutting ( Clint Walz , UGA Cooperative Extension ).
2 Grass that is frequently mowed and maintained by autonomous mowers require less watering according to University of Kentucky ’ s study on robotic mowers and turfgrass cut quality ( Andrew Hartsock , GCM Online ).
3 Small grass clippings left by robotic mowers decompose quickly and act as a natural fertilizer , helping to avoid thatch buildup . According to the University of Minnesota Extension , these clippings return essential nutrients like nitrogen , phosphorus , and potassium to the soil , reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers .
4 Robotic Mowers save 2 to 3 hours per week during the mowing season , depending on the type of grass according to research by My Take 2023 .
5 Robotic mowers operate at sound levels around 58 to 65 decibels , significantly quieter than traditional gas-powered mowers that can reach up to 75 decibels ( PCMag ).
