Maintain a lawn mower
With just a few regular checks you can get the most from your petrol mower and reduce the time it takes to maintain a beautiful lawn. Simply spend a couple of minutes every month looking over your mower to keep it in peak condition - and you'll also save yourself some pennies when it comes to the annual service.
