Here\u2019s hoping Dad spends his mowing time with you for the next few weeks. <\/p>
See Related:<\/strong> If your dad is tech-obsessed and you can\u2019t afford a robot lawn mower ($500 to $1,500 and up) for him, go with the Flymo<\/a> instead (or one of a handful of other hover mowers). <\/p> Hover mowers sound like \u201cBack to the Future,\u201d and they are. Invented back in the early 1960s, they\u2019re a great choice for small yards today. <\/p> Hover mowers ride an air cushion, so they\u2019re easy to maneuver around your yard. Just be careful. The blades are exposed in the back, so always push forward, don\u2019t back up with your hover mower, lawn expert and former master greenkeeper Geoff Coggan recently told House Digest<\/a>. Greenworks Tools, a maker of eco-friendly lawn care equipment, has push mowers and commercial-grade mowers on sale for Father\u2019s Day<\/a>. You can save up to $800 on mowers, string trimmers, and more. If you have the money, there\u2019s a mower for your yard size, and your comfort level. Even better, these mowers are perfect choices under California\u2019s Green Lawn Care Law<\/a>.<\/p> Other lawn mower makers (and big box retailers) also are selling mowers at discounted prices for Father\u2019s Day. Which mower is right for you? Check out our Best Lawn Mowers<\/a>, Best Riding Lawn Mowers<\/a>, and Best Electric Lawn Mowers<\/a>, and Best Lawn Mowers Under $200<\/a>. The buyers guides with each one will help you choose the perfect mower.<\/p> If your lawn-loving dad likes playing video games in his man cave, this is the perfect gift. He can tool around the English countryside simu-mowing to his heart\u2019s content any of 12 top lawn mowers by famous makers (including Toro, SCAG, and STIGA). That\u2019s just the base game. There\u2019s a Landmark edition and other updates.<\/p> Some give this game 4 lawn mowers out of 5, and some give it just 1 or 2. And then there\u2019s this review from Poob, in Arizona, on Steam:<\/strong> \u201cThe equivalent to watching paint dry.\u201d<\/p> Cost:<\/strong> Ranges depending on the version you get, for what device, and where you get it, starting around $5 and up to around $25 on Walmart<\/a> and about $35 on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p> If your Dad\u2019s \u201cme\u201d time is mow time, help him stay hydrated after pushing or driving his mower around the yard. Serve him a St. Arnold Fancy Lawnmower Beer. <\/p> Yes, lawn mower beers are a thing. They\u2019re crafted to be refreshing after hours in the hot sun. If Houston-brewed St. Arnold beer isn\u2019t available where you live, Beer Connoisseur listed 25 Lawnmower Beers<\/a> a few years ago. But what are some other lawn care gifts that will wow your pop \u2013 or make you wish you hadn\u2019t spent your green on grass-themed or -scented items? (Some of these I\u2019ve sent as surprises to our lawn care pros as thank you\u2019s).<\/p> These are the hysterical lawn-themed gifts I mentioned above:<\/p> If Dad isn\u2019t a beer drinker but loves all things grass, this pop might make your Pop smile. Here\u2019s the review from a LawnStarter pro who received this surprise in the mail for helping me answer a few media questions: \u201cIt was pretty tasty, and when I smelled it, it truly smelled like fresh cut grass!!!\u201d Most of the reviewers on Amazon noted that they bought Grass Soda as a gag gift, and it delivered lots of laughs. The taste drew mixed reviews. <\/p> Hayliehop\u2019s 2023 Amazon review of Grass Soda had me laughing. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty good but\u2026 Do not, I repeat, DO NOT mix with vodka to make a weird mixed drink. It was the most VILE thing I have ever tasted. It haunts my dreams.\u201d<\/p> If you really love the smell of a fresh mowed lawn, you can wash up afterward with Meyer\u2019s Fresh Cut Grass Scent Hand Soap. I sent this to the new managing editor for Lawn Love as a welcome to the team surprise \u2013 along with a grass-scented candle. <\/p> Thoughtful, but almost to a fault. I did not know then that Sharon Sullivan is allergic to Bahiagrass. There was no adverse reaction to the hand soap or candle. \u201cI would have been sneezing,\u201d she messaged me Monday.<\/p> Cost:<\/strong> About $5 for a 12.5 ounce bottle<\/a> on Amazon. (My Tip: <\/strong>I found cases at Ollie’s for $2.99 and sent a plastic bottle to our lawn care writers and editors as mowing season was starting.)<\/p> If Dad misses that smell of fresh-cut lawn through the week, get him a grass-scented candle for his work-from-home office or his workspace in the garage. The candle below is LawnStarter pro-approved.<\/p> When you mow grass for a living, you can become obsessed with the scent, or so I hoped\u2026<\/p> I sent this Just Makes Scents Fresh Cut Grass candle as part of a grass-scented care package to LawnStarter pro Chelsea Morris in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Her reaction? \u201cI could never get tired of the smell of fresh cut grass!!!! \ud83d\ude0a\u201d <\/p> Cost:<\/strong> About $12 on Amazon<\/a><\/p> Imagine Dad kicking back in his Lazy Boy after mowing the lawn in these socks. He dozes off and he starts sounding like, well, you know. If that\u2019s your dad, then these will make you \u2013 and hopefully him \u2013 laugh. <\/p> And it will make a great pic for your social media of dad in his recliner sporting these socks and sounding like he\u2019s pulling the starter on his mower or prepping for his Lawn Mower Challenge on TikTo<\/a>k.<\/p> Cost:<\/strong> About $14 on Etsy<\/a><\/p> Working at LawnStarter, I thought it would be a fun surprise to send a toy lawn mower and toy leaf blower to my great nephew twins Jason and Jordan in St. Louis. They were 2 at the time, so it would be a while, I knew, till they would play with these lawn care tools.<\/p> Flash forward to now. This is from my nephew, John: “Yes, they love to assist me when I’m mowing the lawn. I’ll try to find some photos.”<\/p> No photos yet, but I look forward to happy photos of Jason and Jordan with their toys. (By the way, their next surprise from Uncle Jeff? 12 Hot Wheels I found for 35 cents each right next to this toy lawn mower display at my Kroger.) <\/p> Cost: <\/strong>About $14, but it can be higher or lower, depending on the maker and the season. If your toy lawn mower blows bubbles (some do), the cost will be higher. And just like with the real thing, toy mower costs drop at once mowing season ends where you live. No matter what you give your dad for Father\u2019s Day, give him the gift of your time and your presence (don\u2019t worry about presents). Just spend some time with him. If you\u2019re one of our youngest readers, ask him to play catch with you. If your dad is older, mow the grass for him \u2013 not just this weekend but regularly. <\/p> Or hire a LawnStarter pro near you<\/a> to take mowing off Dad\u2019s to-do list. <\/p> \u200b\u200bLawnStarter participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other retailer affiliate programs.

— LawnStarter customer Robin Chipman shows how she added her father-in-law’s property in the LawnStarter app, so she could give him the gift of lawn care<\/a>. It’s super easy, Robin says. <\/p> 2. A Hover Mower<\/h2>
![\"Garden](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/hover-mower.jpeg\")
Cost:<\/strong> Varies by maker, around $500 for a Flymo<\/a> on Amazon (up about $150 from last year, likely a result of recent tariffs). Save by buying a Black + Decker hover mower<\/a>, at least assembled in the USA, for around $250.<\/p> 3. Save Some Green on Eco-Friendly Mowers<\/h2>
