Gear list only. ‘To start’ is our separate minimum estimate, so the two can differ.

Budgets are rough estimates. Buy used where you can. Don’t stock up before your first job.

The site budgets about $220 assuming a used mower. New 21-in push mowers run about $200-$300, and a cordless trimmer kit runs about $90-$330 (Atwoods prices checked Oct 19, 2026). Get two repeat yards before you buy new.
