Our range of petrol lawnmowers is built for power and reliability, making them the natural choice for larger lawns, uneven ground, or rougher terrain where electric and battery mowers can struggle. Choose from push, self-propelled, and rear-roller petrol lawn mowers from trusted brands including Cobra, Masport, Webb, Cub Cadet, and Harry, with engines from Briggs & Stratton, Honda, and Loncin. Whether you’re after a compact push mower for a modest garden or a heavy-duty self-propelled roller mower for a striped, professional finish, we stock petrol lawnmowers to suit every lawn size and budget. All orders benefit from free UK delivery, our 90-day money-back guarantee, price match promise, and flexible finance options — so you can buy your new petrol lawn mower with confidence.
It mainly comes down to lawn size and terrain. Push mowers with a 40–46cm cutting width suit smaller, flatter gardens, while self-propelled models are better for larger or sloped lawns as the engine drives the wheels for you. For a striped, formal finish, choose a rear-roller petrol lawnmower.
A push mower relies on you to move it forward, making it lighter and cheaper but harder work on bigger or uneven lawns. A self-propelled mower has a drive system that pulls itself along, reducing effort — ideal for larger gardens, slopes, or if you're mowing regularly.
Petrol lawnmowers generally offer more cutting power and aren't limited by a cable or battery run-time, making them better suited to larger lawns, thicker or longer grass, and rougher ground. Electric and battery mowers tend to suit smaller, more manageable gardens.
As a minimum, check and top up the oil before each mowing season, clean or replace the air filter annually, and replace the spark plug and blade as needed. An annual service — cleaning the deck, sharpening the blade, and checking the engine — keeps it running efficiently and extends its lifespan.
As a rough guide: up to around 250m² suits a 35–40cm cutting width, 250–500m² suits 41–46cm, and anything larger than 500m² benefits from a 48cm+ self-propelled or roller mower to cut mowing time down but do check the specification on each mower where we have added a suggested lawn size.
