For 26 years now, I’ve been running Blade to Blade Lawn & Landscape here in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Over the past seven years, I’ve noticed a real trend emerging—something that’s reshaping how we
think about mowing our lawns. And that’s the growing interest and implementation of robotic mowing.
In this blog, I want to share my take on why so many homeowners and businesses are starting to move away from the old, time-consuming mowing routines and embracing these robotic solutions. It’s a shift that’s not just about convenience; it’s about stepping into a smarter, more efficient future for lawn care.For decades, mowing the lawn has been part of the weekly grind. It started out as a push mower and a Saturday morning chore. Then it became riding mowers, loud engines, and hours spent every week maintaining a patch of green.
But here’s the truth that most folks don’t realize:
Mowing has evolved into one of the most time-wasting, fuel-burning, and outdated practices in the modern landscape.
We’ve overcomplicated it — and we’re still doing it the hard way.
Mowing Used to Be Simple. Then It Got Stupid.
In the beginning, mowing was manageable. Lawns were smaller, expectations were simpler, and the equipment was modest. But over time, as lawns grew and the cultural obsession with the “perfect lawn” took hold, things spiraled.
We started chasing striping kits, zero-turn mowers, and fuel-hungry behemoths that cost thousands to operate and maintain. Add to that the time commitment — often multiple hours a week — and you’ve got a system that’s sucking energy, money, and precious free time.
Let’s face it: we’re pouring resources into a broken routine that delivers inconsistent results and no real return.
Time Is the New Wealth — Why Are We Still Wasting It?
The average homeowner spends about 1.5 hours mowing their lawn each week during peak season. That’s 6–8 hours a month. And for commercial operators or HOAs, the costs skyrocket — think crews, fuel, wear-and-tear, and labor scheduling.
It’s not just money down the drain. It’s your evenings, your weekends, and your quality of life.
Meanwhile, robotic mowing technology has already outpaced traditional systems in performance, consistency, and cost savings. These machines operate quietly, recharge themselves, work at night, and keep grass at a consistent length — no scalping, no compaction, no crew coordination.
And they pay for themselves in 12 to 24 months.
This Is About More Than Mowing — It’s About a New Mindset
If you’re still mowing the old way, it’s not your fault. That’s how the industry trained us. But the rules have changed.
Just like how we’ve ditched cable for streaming and landlines for smartphones, it’s time to rethink mowing.
The new lawn care model is efficient, silent, cost-effective — and automated. Paired with a biological fertility program that builds soil health naturally, it’s the smartest, cleanest path forward for homeowners, contractors, and municipalities alike.
Ready to Stop Mowing the Hard Way?
If you’re tired of giving up your weekends and burning cash just to keep the grass short, there’s a better option. Robotic mowing isn’t the future — it’s the now.
And with our Blade to Blade biological programs and automation packages, we can help you cut mowing time to zero, reduce your costs, and create a lawn that works for you — not the other way around.
And if you’re interested in learning more about our biological program and how it ties into this new era of lawn care, we’d love to talk to you about it. We’re changing the game of how the American lawn is taken care of, and we’re here to help you make that transition as well.
