Commercial & Municipal Robotic Mowing

We get a lot of questions about larger areas of turf and being able to successfully implement autonomous robotic mowing.  There are certainly great options out there for places like golf courses, school districts, municipalities, cemeteries, campgrounds, parks, airports, resorts, summer camps, and other places that have large amounts of turf they need to mow regularly.   These facilities have high standards for mowing quality and much larger expenses to maintain their grounds then the rest of society.  

Autonomous robotic mowing makes a ton of sense, especially in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota where we primarily work.  Our mowing season is somewhat short so the work is seasonal for those willing to provide it.  Finding an employee or third party person or a company to take care of it is getting more difficult and more expensive.  Mowing is often the most basic task asked of grounds crew. Eliminating some or all of this time spent mowing could have your team focusing on more technical aspects of grounds maintenance where their knowledge and expertise is far more valuable.  

Traditional lawn care equipment has increased in cost and still requires labor, fuel, and some level of maintenance.  Autonomous mowers can be set to operate when and where desired and they don’t call in sick.   Autonomous mowing is able to work near continuously to keep things fresh and cleanly cut with little to no clippings to pick up.  These mowers will work at night and don’t require sleep.  Many commercial models have hot swap battery charging to even reduce or eliminate any time spent charging.  

We have the ability to provide autonomous mowing equipment to handle from less than an acre of grass up to hundreds of acres autonomously.  Our larger units can handle 20 - 30 acres of mowing area in a 3 day span per each unit.  You can use multiple units simultaneously or transfer units to other areas to increase capacity of acreage handled.   Mapping with commercial units can often be done with handheld scanners and 3D LiDar and is something we provide as a service for those customers who are evaluating or purchase units through us.   Mowers can share maps and data and work in tandem to cover larger areas.  Managing areas for mowing can be done digitally and monitored remotely.

Nearly everyone agrees the concept makes a ton of sense, yet the implementation remains somewhat limited for many of those with significant areas of turf to maintain.  Everyone is curious and interested while wanting to see others try it first.  We have tried it and spent countless hours with these machines evaluating their performance.  We are here and ready to back it up and not just tell you but show you.  We have multiple units ready to demo on your location with no cost or obligation.  The technology has improved vastly in recent years and none of our mowers require any buried wire, all have real time feedback on performance and location even when monitored remotely, and none of them have any subscription services required following purchase.

If you are curious about potential cost and applicability for your larger areas of turf mowing please reach out.  We are happy to talk on the phone or provide an in person demonstration of what equipment can do. Some of our mowers have capabilities that include striping athletic fields fully autonomously and even picking up golf balls.
