Understand The Science Behind Mowing

With turf bursting into action this spring, you might feel the urge to trim your lawn back fast. But here’s a green reminder: cutting too much, too soon can do more harm than good. Stick to the trusted 1/3 Rule—never remove more than one-third of your grass’s height in one mowing—to keep your lawn lush, healthy, and stress-free all season long.


Mow Smarter with Yarbo’s Target Height Feature

Want a thriving, stress-free lawn? Yarbo’s Target Height is here to help!

This smart feature gradually lowers your mowing height over five sessions-giving your grass time to adjust and recover between trims. E.g, set your target at 3 inches, and Yarbo will start from 4 inches, trimming just 0.2 inches at a time until your lawn hits the ideal height. :white_check_mark:

:warning: Heads up! If you manually change the mowing height during the process, the system will turn off Target Height automatically.

How Can You Get Cleaner Lawn Edges with Yarbo?

Want sharper, more polished lawn edges? Now you can fine-tune Yarbo’s mowing precision with the Perimeter Mowing Laps feature!

:small_blue_diamond: What It Does: Set how many times Yarbo circles your lawn’s edge before starting the main mowing work — ensuring no spots are missed!

:small_blue_diamond: How to Set It Up:

  • Open the Yarbo App → Go to Area Settings → Tap the Tool icon → Expand Advanced Settings → Find Perimeter Mowing Laps.

  • Default is 2 laps — you can customize to 3 or 4 for even more thorough edging.

:small_blue_diamond: Good to Know:

  • Available only when using the Zigzag mowing pattern.

  • Only applies to work area boundaries, not no-go zones.

Introducing Two Types of Cutting Blades, Each With Its Own Capabilities

Ever wondered why your Yarbo Mower comes with two different sets of blades? Let’s break it down so you can pick the perfect fit for your lawn:

:small_blue_diamond: Silver Blades (Pre-installed)

  • High-strength, rust-resistant, and super flexible.

  • Perfect for humid, rainy areas or storage during the off-season.

  • Stays sharp and shiny even after long storage!

:small_blue_diamond: Gold Blades (Packed Separately)

  • Titanium-coated for extreme durability and toughness.

  • Best for rugged lawns, thick grass, and dry conditions.

  • Less rust-proof than silver, but unmatched in cutting power.

Why We’re Providing Both

Because mowing conditions vary, we want to empower you to choose the blade that works best for your yard:

  • Choose silver blades if you prioritize rust resistance or live in a wet climate.

  • Choose gold blades if your lawn has thicker grass, uneven ground, or small debris that requires extra cutting strength.

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.

What’s Boundary Set Back & Why It Matters?

Ever notice Yarbo swinging wide on tight turns? That’s where Boundary Set Back comes in!

Think of it as Yarbo’s personal buffer zone—keeping it a safe distance from lawn edges, flower beds, or garden gnomes :eyes:.

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: How It Works:

  • Default = 0 cm - Yarbo follows the boundary exactly.

  • Add a few inches - Shrinks the work zone just enough to avoid crossing the edge.

If your lawn has tight edges or nearby obstacles, increasing the Set Back can make Yarbo’s turns smoother and smarter!
