To "trim" it or for a first cut of the season?
My choice is a Honda or a Hayter 4 stroke 18" self-propelled walk behind.
How much grass?

I look nothing like him!
Deleted. Double post.

How many square metres in total? If you could find out and post back on here, that would be very useful and help steer us to the best options.
Also, what standard is/are the lawns? Bowling greenish, just ornamental or roughish? Do they want "stripes"?

Problem is that, during the first cut he buggered up his lawnmower, so both really.
It's a medium sized garden... No measurements to be exact though

Not sure on square foot at the moment, and just, normal I'm guessing? Standard cut

I think my original suggestion stands in that case.
Definitely not the bloke that looks after the Amex pitch

Definitely not a hover, they wreck your lawn.
I've got a Stihl electric rotary. It's basic but does the job and easy to adjust the height which is important.

A plastic framed Viking/Stihl petrol mower for me. They do quite a few sizes. Small lawn, a battery powered one
Waiting for a put down on this suggestion from [MENTION=11350]LamieRobertson[/MENTION] though
Deffo agree on the plastic deck option.
Another vote for Honda Self-Propelled.
Ours is still going strong 13 years from new. Many times it's been left out in the rain by error, but no issues at all.
Minor, cheap as chips, self-repairs or to a dealers service bit and bobs, every year or so.
All the contract gardener round here use them too.

Just as an aside I have a mate who works as part of the groundsman team at the renowned Devonshire Park tennis courts in Eastbourne. And by all all accounts the Amex head groundsman is considered a bit of a txxt in those circles and won't listen to any advice.
I thought you would have a sit on for the grounds at Weststander towers.
Nitwit, I was talking about the front lawn, obviously.
Our grounds elsewhere are kept in trim by:

Would this friend be [MENTION=11350]LamieRobertson[/MENTION]
Pffft ….I have three lawnmowers sunshine ..two of which I would classify as professional..the other would suit Icy Gull.
As regards to the OP more info is needed…what size is normal (we still talking lawns?)…budget etc etc etc etc etc
Borrow mine if you like.
