Lawnmowers have been around for a long time already and they have changed from being a muscle-powered machines into fossil-fuel and electric-powered varieties.
However, despite of those changes, their primary purpose has remained practically the same, that is, to cut grass and to do it evenly. This article takes a look at the history of the humble lawnmower.
Edwin Beard Budding invented the lawn mower in 1827. He created it to cut the grass in sports grounds and large gardens, or practically any large expanse of grassy areas. Along with John Ferrabee, Budding patented the product in 1830.
