Catching Grass Clippings

Catching is ideal when mowing over long or wet grass, preventing clumps from smothering the lawn. It also keeps yards neat and is perfect before special occasions. Explore mower options with quality catcher systems in Shepp City’s push mower and ride-on mower ranges.

Mulching Grass Clippings

Mulching has grown in popularity for good reason. When finely chopped and returned to the soil, clippings act as a natural fertiliser, returning nitrogen and improving lawn health. Many of Shepp City’s zero-turn mowers and ride-ons feature mulching kits, offering convenience and sustainability.

The Best Approach

In spring and early summer, mulching can help boost growth and soil health. In wetter months or when mowing overgrown grass, catching is often the better choice. For most homeowners, a mower with both capabilities is the ultimate solution.

At Shepp City Garden Equipment, the team helps customers choose the right mower and attachments to suit their yard. Every mower is sold fully assembled, with oil and fuel, backed by local parts and servicing.
