When you’re running a busy plumbing business, managing a sprawling 4.5-acre property, and raising three teenagers, the last thing you want to worry about is keeping your lawn looking perfect every day. That’s exactly the challenge David and Justine Mikkelsen faced before discovering the Husqvarna Automower® robotic mowers.
Living in the picturesque suburb of Matcham on the Central Coast of NSW, David and Justine have created their dream home and sanctuary—but maintaining their large property, while juggling a thriving business, was taking its toll. With a lush green lawn always in mind, the Mikkelsens decided to explore a solution to keep their property looking its best without the hassle.
The Mikkelsen Family’s Search for the Perfect Lawn Care Solution
The Mikkelsens first heard about Husqvarna Automower® robotic mowers from Verduous Gardens. According to David, “We were looking for something that could take the hassle out of mowing and allow us to enjoy our property more. Verduous Gardens suggested trying a robotic mower, and we were immediately interested.”
The couple initially installed one Husqvarna Automower® on their property, and within a month, they noticed a remarkable difference. “I could see how amazing the lawn looked out the back,” David recalls. “That’s when we decided to add a second mower around the dam area to tackle that part of the property too. The time-saving aspect was huge for us—we could enjoy the space instead of feeling like it was a constant chore.”
The Benefits of Adding a Third Husqvarna Automower®
Soon enough, the Mikkelsens added a third mower to their property: the Husqvarna Automower® 450X NERA with EPOS™. Unlike previous models that required installing physical wires around obstacles, the 450X Nera with EPOS™ introduced a revolutionary wire-free solution, allowing the family to create virtual stay-out zones around objects using the Automower® Connect app.
“We can now easily adjust and manage the mowers with the app,” David shares. “It’s a game-changer. In winter, we only run it every couple of days, but in summer, we set it to mow every day. The lawn never gets brown because it’s constantly being cut, and the clippings naturally fertilize the grass.”
Dan Barton, Operations Manager at Verduous Gardens, says, “Object Detection and Avoidance is a game-changer for residential lawns. If kids leave toys or furniture out on the grass, the mower can seamlessly navigate around these obstacles and continue mowing efficiently without interruption. It’s a huge convenience for homeowners.”
Convenience, Quiet Operation, and No Maintenance
What really impressed Justine about the Husqvarna Automower® was its quiet operation. “I love the fact that it’s so silent,” she says. “We no longer have to deal with the noise pollution from a loud ride-on mower. Robotic Mowers get the job done quietly and efficiently.”
David adds, “The best part is that it takes care of itself. It recharges itself automatically and we don’t have to worry about any maintenance. It’s one less thing to think about in our busy lives.”
A Lawn That’s Always Picture-Perfect
David and Justine agree that one of the most satisfying aspects of having the three Husqvarna robotic mowers is the beautifully manicured lawn it provides every day. “David loves the special patterns the 450X NERA creates in the lawn,” Justine says. “He’s always showing me the new designs it leaves behind, and it makes the lawn look sleek and well-maintained.”
As a family, they now spend more time enjoying their beautiful property. “We often sit back, have a glass of wine, and just take in the view,” David adds. “It makes me proud to see how great the lawn looks without any of the hard work.”
Standing Behind the Husqvarna Brand
David and Justine also appreciate the exceptional customer service and support they’ve received from Husqvarna. “Every time we’ve needed anything, Husqvarna has always stood behind their products,” David says. “That’s why we trust the brand.”
A New Level of Freedom for the Mikkelsen Family
With their Husqvarna Automower® robots in action, the Mikkelsens have more free time to focus on what really matters. As Dan Barton, Operations Manager from Verduous Gardens, explains, “The mowers have really freed up the Mikkelsens’ time. As a gardener, I can focus on more detailed work while the mowers handle the lawn care. It’s also given the family more time to relax and enjoy their property.”
Why David and Justine Give Husqvarna Automower® Five Stars
David is unequivocal when it comes to rating their experience with the Husqvarna Automower®: “I would definitely rate it five stars. The lawn looks amazing, and I don’t have to do anything about it. It’s made life so much easier for us.”
Justine agrees, “It’s just awesome. The mowers take care of everything, and we get to enjoy our lawn without any of the hard work.”
