Home Depot offers several options for rental windows, from four hours to four weeks. These rental periods cover many scenarios, from cutting a small lawn in just a few hours to having the machine on hand for a month while another unit is being repaired at the shop. But, first and foremost, you need to know how long the job will take. If you want to lessen the physical toll of pushing the mower yourself, a self-propelled walk-behind mower is also available at $32 per 4 hours, $45 per day, $180 per week, and $540 per month.
If this is a new lawn to you, and you’ve never cut the grass before, there is a handy tool by InchCalculator.com called lawn mowing calculator. This online tool utilizes the cutting deck width of the mower, your walking speed, and the total acreage, if applicable, to estimate mowing time. For example, a basic push mower with a 20-inch cut, walking at 3 mph, would take approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes to cut 1 acre of grass. Remember that this estimate doesn’t account for uneven terrain or cutting around obstructions like kid’s playsets or lawn furniture.
