I just bought a house that has a large yard with some steep slopes. My old push mower feels really unsafe on these hills, and I'm wondering what type of mower would be best suited for this kind of terrain. Should I attempt mowing it myself, or would it be better to hire someone?

Terracing can be a great solution if you're looking to manage that slope better! Also, consider using a grass trimmer for tougher areas – it could save you from a lot of hassle.
Before deciding, think about how steep the slope actually is. It could also depend on what's growing there—regular grass or weeds can affect your mowing strategy. It's worth asking the previous owners how they handled it!
If you're dealing with a steep slope, a regular push mower isn't the way to go. You might want to consider a self-propelled mower designed for hills or a walk-behind string trimmer. Alternatively, if it's really steep and unsafe, hiring someone to do it might be the best option to avoid any injuries.
True! Plus, if the angle is steep, it's better to avoid pushing a heavy mower altogether. A trimmer can make sure you don’t miss any spots.
