Maintenance
There’s an easy way to care for your outdoor spaces, says Tania Kragner of Husqvarna New Zealand.
What is the latest lifestyle focus?
We are seeing even more value being put on elevating outdoor living spaces. With strong design features extending from the house to the whole property, the ability to effortlessly enjoy all areas around the home is more of a priority than ever. Technology usage is also high, so solutions such as robotic lawnmowers are leading the way in lawn innovation. These lawnmowers incorporate cutting-edge technology while producing an outstanding result that enhances the whole look of the property.
What’s driving this?
Kiwis are savvy, and we have busy lives. We love the convenience, the environmental and time-saving benefits, and the stunning lawn a Husqvarna Automower delivers.
Who is adopting this trend?
There is an Automower for almost any property, making an immaculate lawn an achievable goal. While the convenience factor may be a driver for others, the environmental benefits of a rechargeable, battery-powered lawn care solution appeal to all.
Because a robotic lawnmower cuts the grass a little at a time and mows frequently (without you having to do anything), the mindset shift for homeowners is in realising that the weekly/fortnightly ‘weekend warrior’ effort on the lawns is a thing of the past. And with new EPOS satellite-based technology, Automower can mow perfect stripes or even patterns (chequerboard or triangle effects) into the lawn for an eye-catching look. So many customers tell us Husqvarna Automower is a lawn care game-changer.
Anyone else?
They are not just for residential lawns. Commercial models can mow sports fields and stadiums (such as Liverpool FC’s grounds at the AXA Training Centre), golf courses, parks and large public spaces. You might see a Husqvarna Automower next time you tee off.
