The Autonomous Lawnmower transforming Commercial Landscaping

‍

The US commercial landscaping industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, valued at over $128 billion. However, this growth has been accompanied by several challenges that have plagued companies in the sector. For one, labor costs are high, making it difficult for businesses to remain competitive in an increasingly crowded marketplace. Furthermore, margins are low and irregular, leaving many commercial landscaping companies vulnerable to sudden shifts in demand or the emergence of new competitors. Despite these challenges, Graze recognizes innovation's value as critical to transformational change in the commercial landscaping industry. 

‍

By incorporating machine learning, computer vision, and robust sensor systems, Graze has created a mower capable of mapping and navigating even the most complex job sites intelligently. Whether it's carefully avoiding obstacles like trees or steep terrain or gathering data to continuously improve its performance in terms of efficiency and aesthetic quality. Some of the key features of Graze's lawnmowers is their electric design, which eliminates the need for costly fuel and the actuated mow deck allowing the mower to adjust mowing height based on grass length. Not only does this eliminate the need to buy gas or oil, but it also allows users to switch between different types of terrain easily and gives them more control over the speed and cutting height of the blades. Landscape companies can cut operating costs and increase their profits by deploying Graze mowers during evening hours. Equally important, by using greener alternatives like Graze's electric mowers, operators can help reduce their overall environmental impact.
