My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Getting started with a reel mower

15 years ago

Ok, so I'm about to pull the trigger on a 16" reel mower. My "lawn" is mostly weed right now, but I have raked all the pine straw, leaves, and sticks out.

To get started, do I just get to mowing with it and clean up with a line trimmer? I don't have a rotary right now because we just moved in.

Thanks!
