Lawn Sweeper Purchasing Tips

When purchasing a lawn sweeper, there’s a few things you’ll want to think about:

•    What do you expect to pick up with the lawn sweeper (pine cones, leaves, pine needles)
•    Do you own a garden tractor or ATV?
•    How big is your yard?
•    Where will you store it? How much room do you have?
•    What is your budget?

Most lawn sweepers will pick up leaves quite well but others have trouble with bigger debris such as pine cones and pine needles. Make sure you’re aware of the limitations of your sweeper and know what to expect.

Whether or not you have a garden tractor or ATV will determine whether you can use a push or a tow-behind lawn sweeper.

Most push lawn sweepers work best for smaller yards as they are easier to maneuver. A very important thing to keep in mind when purchasing any lawn and garden equipment is how much storage room you have.
