How to measure your mowable lawn area

Robot mower area ratings describe mowable lawn capacity under suitable conditions. They are not a promise that every property of the same total size will suit the same mower.

Measure the grass, not the title

Start with the actual areas of lawn you expect the mower to maintain. Exclude the house, driveway, decks, gardens, hard landscaping and other non-mowable space.

Then note the layout

Two lawns with the same area can behave very differently. Passages, separate zones, slopes, wet ground, charging windows and the route back to the dock can all affect practical capacity.

Why we ask for more than square metres

The LawnMaster X5 is rated up to 2,000 m² and the X7 up to 3,000 m², but LawnBots NZ assesses terrain, navigation, passages, docking and expectations before recommending an installed package.
