How to Configure Area Settings for a Healthier, Fully-Covered Lawn

Want to protect your grass and make sure no patch gets left behind? Here’s how to dial in your Area Settings for both safety and precision:

  1. Start with Smart Turn (Default)

Smart Turn minimizes turf damage and is best for irregular or narrow spaces. It’s gentle on your lawn—especially ideal for softer or damp grass.

  1. Adjust the Overlap Thoughtfully
  • For thick, tall, or uneven grass → choose 4–8 inches of overlap.

  • For short or sparse grass → 0–4 inches is enough.

This ensures clean passes without stressing the lawn—or missing any strips!

  1. Use Route Rotation Degree to Vary Mowing Paths

Switch angles betwee sessions (e.g., 0°, 45°, 90°) to avoid soil compaction and mowing ruts. Your grass will grow straighter and look fuller.

Note : Only available with Parallel route pattern—Checkerboard and Diamond rotate by default; Spiral doesn’t rotate.

  1. Let Route Order Work for You

Starting with the Perimeter First helps Yarbo outline the space before diving in. Great for lawns with detailed edges!

  1. Customize for Coverage

Every lawn is unique—don’t hesitate to try small tweaks in one area first, then apply them across zones. You’ll quickly find what delivers the smoothest, healthiest result.
