Lawn Mowing Simulator

Lawn Mowing Simulator is a lawn care and business simulation from Skyhook Games. Players take over a small company in the British countryside. Using licensed ride-on mowers, they complete jobs in gardens and parks, buy new machines and hire employees.

Cutting height, engine load, attachments and the exact mowing line affect the work. Alongside running the company, you can choose free mowing and special challenges.

Lawn Mowing Simulator was released for PC and Xbox Series X|S on Aug 10, 2021. The Xbox One version followed on Mar 10, 2022, and PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on Mar 31, 2022. The game came to Nintendo Switch on Mar 14, 2024, in the Landmark Edition.

Lawn Mowing Simulator was released natively for Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. The Switch version runs on Switch 2 via backward compatibility, not as a separate Switch 2 version. On Xbox, Smart Delivery and Xbox Play Anywhere are supported.

Before each job, players check the terrain and choose a suitable cutting height. While driving, they need to keep an eye on engine load. Going too fast or using the wrong equipment makes an even cut harder.

On narrow paths, between flower beds and around sensitive obstacles, careful route planning matters. Depending on the task, grass catchers, mulching attachments and striped rollers help.

Ancient Britain adds four historic sites, where damage can be especially costly. In Dino Safari, four areas of a dinosaur park need care.

The Heritage Park expansion was released on Sep 4, 2025. It adds two large parks, eight jobs and an extra mower. On Nintendo Switch, Ancient Britain and Dino Safari are already included in the Landmark Edition.

On Windows 10 in the 64-bit version, Lawn Mowing Simulator requires at least an AMD FX-8350 or Intel Core i3-8350K, 8 GB RAM, a Radeon R9 390X with 8 GB or GeForce GTX 960 with 4 GB graphics memory, and 20 GB free storage. DirectX 11 is required.

Recommended: a Ryzen 7 2700X or Core i7-6950X with 8 GB RAM and a Radeon RX Vega 64 or GeForce GTX 1080.

In career mode, work begins with simple jobs and limited equipment. Earned money goes into more powerful mowers, attachments and a larger company headquarters. Later, you can hire employees and handle additional jobs in parallel.

Advertising and ongoing costs are also part of the business. A larger area only pays off once you have enough time and suitable machines for it.

The base game includes twelve machines, including licensed lawn mowers from Toro, SCAG and STIGA. Cutting width, maneuverability and available attachments affect which machine suits a job.

Equipment includes mulching systems, grass catchers and rollers for visible striped patterns, among other things. Additional machines are unlocked and bought as the game progresses.

Career mode links jobs to the company's development. In Free Mow mode, you can mow places you've already worked on again without the economic pressure.

Challenges change the conditions. These include time limits, limited fuel or the requirement to follow a particularly precise cutting pattern. The Switch version also offers a Quick Mow mode, which starts straight away with randomly selected equipment.

The jobs take place in a small British town and its surroundings. Mowing happens in private gardens, on sprawling castle grounds, in horse paddocks and on green spaces alongside houses.

Open meadows require different routes than narrow gardens with flower beds and irregular edges. As the size of the job grows, choosing the right mower becomes more important.

The base game includes the lawn care company and its game modes. The Landmark Edition bundles the base game with the expansions Ancient Britain and Dino Safari. This bundle is available on Nintendo Switch and Xbox, among others.

On Steam, the Complete Edition additionally includes Heritage Park. If you want extra game locations, compare what each edition includes.

Lawn Mowing Simulator is a single-player game. It does not offer a co-op or online multiplayer mode. The PC version supports German menus and on-screen text as well as controllers.

The accessibility options on Steam include adjustable text size, camera settings and separate audio options.
