Super-Sod Now Sells Affordable, Versatile Allett Reel Mowers for Home Lawns

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) April 30, 2014

This April, just in time for spring green-up, Super-Sod added the Allett Classic and Kensington lawn mowers to their array of landscaping products. The lawn care experts at Super-Sod became enamored with Allett mowers because they are reel or "cylinder" mowers designed and built to deliver professional results, but with homeowner circumstances and budgets in mind.

Reel mowers are desirable because the cylinder of blades rotates against a bed knife, thereby cutting grass with a scissor-like action, versus a rotary mower that chops blades of grass in half with a machete-like action that renders a jagged cut to each blade of grass. The reel's scissor cut makes a clean cut that not only looks tidier - it gives a lawn the advantage of reduced water loss after mowing (a jagged cut has more surface area, thus more water is lost from the plant).

Besides the clean cut, reel mowers are also beneficial for warm-season lawns (zoysia, bermuda, centipede) because reels mow at a lower height than rotary mowers can feasibly mow and, with the lower cut height, reels promote a tighter, denser turf that looks especially handsome. Plus, rollers on professional mowers produce the beautiful striping effect as seen on showpiece lawns.

On Alletts, mow height is extremely easy to adjust with just the turn of a knob and a full-width drum roller on the back produces the sought-after lawn striping patterns. Yet, there is another compelling reason why Allett mowers are so intriguing and functional: they are designed with an interchangeable cartridge system.

A standard blade cartridge comes with each mower, but an additional six feature cartridges (verticutter, dethatcher, lawn brush, aerator, scarifier, and a cartridge with more blades) can be easily removed and replaced to accomplish more lawn care ventures. The Allett Classic and Kensington are more than just lawn mowers, they are multipurpose lawn care machines for home lawns.

Another advantage to having a removable cartridge of blades is that the cartridge alone can be taken to the shop for sharpening, rather than the entire mower. While the one cartridge is sharpened, a spare can be used for mowing, reducing down time of the mower.

Reel mowers are standard equipment on golf courses and a few high-end landscapers own these coveted machines; however, they are normally priced totally out of range of what a homeowner could ever afford. With the Allett Classic priced at $999.00 and the Kensington at $1,609.00, quality reel mowers that will deliver professional results (clean cut, low cut, striping, plus optional cartridge functions) are attainable by homeowners.

Super-Sod is a family-run business that employs experts in turf and horticulture. One of their most popular products has been their Soil3 organic compost, delivered in a cubic yard BigYellowBag, which they make partially from composted grass clippings from their sod production. Super-Sod continues to develop new garden products, foster gardening and landscaping, and always seeks to improve their farming practices, technology, environmental stewardship, and employee knowledge.
