How necessary is a perfectly flat yard? I have a relatively flat yard; however, I have a few areas of slight slope.

Ideally the flatter the better, but we had a few bumps along the way and if anything it just affected the water in the pool. By that, it just took a little extra water.

A flat yard is helpful, although ours slopes a bit. A slight slope is actually kind of helpful, as you can direct the water out of the pool in the direction of the slope when it's time to put the pool away. As for it impacting the enjoyment of the pool, it doesn't, as you simply have a slightly fuller side than the other. We've now had two months with our pool and have used it 10 times or so, and it's durable and fabulous. We're very happy with our purchase.

We have a slight slope as well and it works fine. The slides are fine either way but the pool will not be an even depth. NOTE - if there isn't any water at the bottom of a slide it can be painful/dangerous to come down so be sure the slope is gradual enough that you have at least a little water everywhere.

I have two of these, and if I remember correctly, I bought a yard of soil (cheaper than many bags of soil from Lowes) and it filled them both and I had a full wheelbarrow left. So, ha;f a yard of soil should be plenty. I would recommend a mix if you are in an area where the topsoil is high in clay, or it can pack down when you have a raised bed type planting. Any other questions feel free to ask, I have lots of raised rock beds/these/and other root pouch containers !!

It's not too bad. There is a little metal guide on the edger that rides along the curb that keeps it in-line. I had some problems with mine the first time I edged my lawn since the sod had overtaken a couple inches of the sidewalk. I just had to go slower and estimate where the curb was. Sometimes i estimated badly and other times it was fine :)

Amber, not if it's a thick pile. It depends on your grass and if your lawn is even. I have a slight bank and it doesn't work as well than if the yard is perfectly flat. Don't know if this helps you or not?

Read the owners manual. These mowers have limits on the grade. It could be dangerous to exceed the grade which could cause a rollover. If you are within the grade guidelines, I would suggest a low gear and mow directly up the slope. Be careful.

The feet on mine sit on the grass, and I didn't cut them. Worked out just fine. Might actually work out better because the feet tend to dig into the dirt a little more than they would if the bottom surface was parallel to the ground.

This is stable . Since it is not square you should set up where the long dimension is in the slope direction.

Sounds similar to my yard. I've experimented a bit with placement and found that placing it on a gentle slope with the back (slide end) downhill and the front (pool end) uphill is best. Placing it this way allows for more water to collect in the pool which adds to the fun. Doing it the opposite way makes the slides a bit faster, but the water drains out the front lip quicker and results in a shallower pool. So, if the slope is truly slight, you'll be fine; or, in my opinion, a bit better off.

Not really unfortunately. Pretty much just Landscape. Laying it flat on a slight incline is nice though.

I have Bermuda grass on a small and fairly level lot. It is no problem for me to push the mower and maneuver around flower beds, etc. Adjusting the mower height was a little tricky at first, but once I understood the concept of adjusting cutting height, that was no problem either. Two cutting height adjustments: one moves in fairly large increments the other "fine tunes" the adjustment. I have had this mower just one cutting season, but I expect it will last many years. I like it a lot. Good exercise for me and it gives a nice smooth cut for the lawn.

Barbara, This lawn mower is not self-propelled. However, I don't have any problems with it doing my yard. It is kind of difficult to answer your question as I don't know what your physical capabilities are. This is definitely the lighter of the two larger models of GreenWorks mowers and it works great. I would say if the slope was not too great in your yard there shouldn't be a problem. I hope this was of some help.Nancy Winslow

Close to a yard I would say... A little less... I love it.. it's more than enough...

I did nothing to flatten the area of my back yard, and when I mow it moves to a different spot each time. I just walk around and check each edge is stable. I don't have the flattest yard and have had no problems. This domes have been fantastic, all the kids on my street love it.

The tenants that had rented a house that I own had used small rocks in the yard as a decorative garden. In time the rocks became part of the soil. I did not have any problems using the tiller. I did have better tilling when I pulled the tiller toward me for hard clay.

My yard is at a slight slope and I have a gopher digging in my yard all the time; so it is not necessary to have a flat yard or even a level yard. The water pools slightly on one side in our yard but it does not interfere with any of the jumper/slides features. This is a fun and useful jumper; we have used it for four parties and too many play dates to count. It is holding up extremely well with 30 plus uses and storage in a outside plastic yard box. Remember to dry it as completely as possible before storing. Have fun....

Not "relatively" but flat area. You would have to buy a floor kit and I suggest anchoring it.

It is easier to go on an angle rather than straight up the hill. As long as the ground is smooth, the grass is dry and not too tall its not a problem. Turning is no problem at all due to its lightweight. We use it almost daily when dry in small sections at a time. The biggest problem is having to empty the bin frequently so we keep a large bucket handy to collect clippings and use as feed (or bedding when dried).
