What to Expect During Your First Robotic Mower Installation
Switching to a robotic lawn mower is one of the easiest—and smartest—upgrades you can make for your yard. At Auto-Matic Lawns, we handle every step of the robotic mower installation process for homeowners in Carteret and Onslow Counties, including Swansboro, Jacksonville, and Morehead City.
If you’re wondering how it works, here’s a breakdown of what to expect during your first robotic mower install.
✅ Step 1: Free Consultation and Lawn Assessment
We start with a free on-site consultation to evaluate your property and determine if a robotic mower installation in Swansboro, NC (or your specific town) is a good fit. We check:
Yard size and layout
Slope and terrain (common in coastal NC)
Trees, beds, and other landscaping
Soil type (sandy, loamy, or clay)
Access to power for the charging dock
This helps us choose the right robot mower setup for your property and customize the installation.
✅ Step 2: Mapping and Boundary Wire Layout
Your mower knows where to cut using a boundary wire system. We plan and mark the layout based on your lawn’s shape and needs, including:
Mow zones (front, back, side yards)
“No-go” zones like garden beds and pools
Edges, driveways, and play areas
The robotic mower boundary wire is installed just below the surface and becomes invisible quickly. We design the layout to ensure smooth mowing with minimal adjustments needed later.
✅ Step 3: Professional Robotic Mower Installation
Using a specialized wire trencher or walk-behind edger, we install the boundary and guide wires with precision. Then we:
Install the charging station in a shaded, protected area
Connect wiring to the mower base
Pair your mower with its smartphone app
Program a custom schedule to suit your lawn’s growth cycle
Provide a full walkthrough of operation and maintenance
We’ve done dozens of robotic mower installations in Jacksonville and Morehead City, and tailor every one to the unique challenges of coastal NC lawns.
✅ Step 4: First Run and Fine-Tuning
We’ll monitor your mower’s first automated mow to make sure everything’s working as expected. If adjustments are needed—like pathing near trees or docking alignment—we make them before we leave.
Customers often say their first robotic mowing experience is surprisingly quiet and efficient, especially compared to gas-powered options.
✅ Step 5: Optional Support and Service Plans
We offer ongoing robotic mower support plans for added peace of mind. These include:
Seasonal checkups
Software updates
Blade replacements
Troubleshooting and repairs
Great for homeowners who travel or manage vacation homes in Emerald Isle, Cape Carteret, and Newport.
⏱️ Most Robotic Mower Installs Take Just a Few Hours
The full robotic mower installation process typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on yard size and complexity. We’ll have you mowing hands-free by the same day, with minimal disruption to your lawn.
