The garden is springing into life: colour is shooting up in beds, and wildlife is emerging as animals wake up from hibernation and birds start establishing territories.
But one March gardening job top of the list is giving the lawn its first mow of the season.
If you’re planning on cutting the grass soon, one highly-rated cordless lawnmower is currently on sale at Argos – with a £40 discount.
The Flymo SimpliStore 340 is currently priced at £150, down from £190 – a spring saving we can certainly get behind.
The clever free-roaming design means you can tackle the lawn without a pesky cord holding you back – plus, the close edge cutting system means a neat finish is achieved, even up to your borders, and reduces cutting time in the process.

There are five cutting heights to play with – if you’re giving your lawn the first trim of 2026, then lawn experts say it’s best to leave the mower blades higher.
RHS award-winning horticulturist, Simon Wilkinson, previously told Country Living: “For the first cut, set your mower to its highest setting and trim no more than one-third of the grass’s height. After your first cut, you can gradually reduce the height over the next few weeks.”

Clever features, like the 35-litre grass box indicator to prevent spillage and the twin lever controls (which let you operate with either hand), make tackling an unruly lawn a whole lot easier.
But perhaps one of the best features is the vertical storage function of this lawnmower, which reduces garden shed space. The height-adjustable and foldable handle allows for compact storage, so it can tuck away nicely (and unassumingly) in the garage or shed, amongst your other tools.
Reviewers have praised this mower as being particularly great for small gardens and ease of use. One said: “Very easy to set up and use plus it’s so much lighter to push around the lawn.”
Another added: “It was powerful enough to do the first cut of the year on fairly long grass. Being cordless makes mowing so much easier.”
The Flymo SimpliStore 340 Li 34cm Cordless Rotary Lawnmower is available now at Argos for £150.
