Robotic Lawnmowers

Measure the length and width of each lawn area in metres and multiply them together to get the area in square metres, then add your separate areas together. For irregular gardens, break the lawn into rough rectangles and measure each one, leaving out patios, driveways, flower beds and other unmown areas. We've put together a full video guide where Paul shows you exactly how to measure your lawn step-by-step, from awkward corners to narrow side passages: How to Measure Your Lawn for a Robot Mower. Once you have your figure, choose a mower rated slightly above your actual lawn size.

Most modern robot lawnmowers are completely wire-free. Instead of a buried perimeter wire, they navigate using RTK satellite positioning, LiDAR mapping or onboard AI cameras, so there's no wire to install and no wire breaks to repair. The majority of robot lawnmowers at Heavins are wire-free models, though traditional boundary-wire mowers are also available for those who prefer a well-proven wired setup. If you're unsure which navigation type suits your garden, our team in Athlone is happy to advise.

Yes, robot lawnmowers are built for Irish conditions. The models at Heavins are weatherproof and designed to mow in light rain, and many feature rain sensors that pause mowing in heavy downpours and send the mower back to its charging station automatically. Because robot mowers cut little and often rather than in one heavy weekly session, they're well suited to fast-growing Irish grass, keeping your lawn consistently trimmed right through the growing season.

Robot lawnmowers at Heavins cover everything from small urban gardens of a few hundred square metres up to large rural properties of several thousand square metres. Every model is rated for a maximum lawn area, and you can filter the collection above by mowing area to match your garden. As a rule of thumb, choose a mower rated slightly above your actual lawn size, particularly if your garden has slopes, obstacles or complex shapes that add to mowing time.

Yes. Most robot lawnmowers at Heavins manage multiple lawn areas or zones, letting you map separate front and back gardens in the app and set different schedules or cutting heights for each. All-wheel-drive models are available for sloped and uneven Irish gardens, while LiDAR and AI camera navigation handles narrow passages, flower beds, trampolines and garden furniture with smart obstacle avoidance.

For most Irish households, yes. A robot lawnmower cuts your grass automatically on a schedule you set, saving hours of mowing every month through the long Irish growing season. Frequent light cutting also mulches clippings back into the lawn, feeding the grass naturally with no clippings to collect. Every robot lawnmower at Heavins comes with a manufacturer warranty and expert support from our family-run team in Athlone, with delivery available across Ireland or click & collect from our Athlone store.
