THE once-held fear that robots will take over the world is slowly coming true.
Thankfully, they also plan to keep your lawn looking great.

Automated robot mowers are the future of lawn maintenance and Sweden’s Husqvarna are leading the way with a range of smart mowers that will get the job done outside.
Shepparton outdoor power tools expert, Mike Scandolera, said even he was sceptical of the robots, until the team at Shepparton Mowers and Leisure set one loose on their front lawn.

“It’s awesome. It literally does its own thing. It’ll head out, cut the grass, then return to its docking station to charge up before heading out again,” he said.

Now under new ownership, Shepparton Mowers and Leisure have a full range of Husqvarna robot mowers. Now considered ‘the smart way to mow’, these mowers use advanced navigation (so they won’t take off down the street or spend an hour trying to mow the patio). They recharge themselves, leave no track marks, are quiet and work rain, hail or shine.

Beyond the latest mowers, Shepparton Mowers and Leisure also have a great range of whipper snippers – the lively cousin of the lawn mower – with some on sale now.
With a new team in charge, Mike Scandolera said the store would be updating the range of outdoor power tools over the next few months, and it would be worth popping in regularly to see what’s new.

The team also have an expert workshop team which services and repairs all brands of outdoor power tools.
