Where was the lawnmower invented?
The first patent for a mechanical lawn mower was granted on August 31, 1830 to engineer, Edwin Beard Budding (1795-1846) from Stroud, Gloucestershire, England.
Budding's design was based on a cutting tool used for the uniform trimming of carpet. It was reel-type mower that had a series of blades arranged around a cylinder.The first unpatented lawn mower was probably built by Scotsmen, Alexander Shanks in 1841 - a 27 inch pony drawn reel lawn mower.
