The Block’s unsung hero: Husqvarna Automower®! A smarter way to mow… 

It's been a part of The Block since the opening moments of episode one, quietly zipping around Scotty’s place, mowing up a storm as the new contestants arrived to catch a glimpse of those stunning Gisborne properties.

But get ready to see a whole lot more of Husqvarna Automower® as it ventures further afield — to all five Block houses! 

Meet Husqy, The Block's trusty robotic mower keeping this years lawns in perfect condition, all at the touch of a button!

Though all the homes have markedly different landscaping plans, with varying slopes and outlooks, when it came to the vast expanses of their lawn areas — and they were big — the contestants knew there was only one mower that could get the job done: Husqvarna Automower®…Husqy their trusty robotic mate from ep one!

“Landscaping is the most important week on The Block,” Tom explains. “Yes, kitchens are beautiful, and yes, masters are good, but landscaping brings to life the outdoor space for families to enjoy, have fun and relax.” And what does every outdoor area for families need? A good patch of grass! 

  Remember way back when the contestants arrived at The Block 2022 Treechange, all that time ago there was a Husqvarna Automower® scooting about Scott Cam's front lawn doing all of the hard work.

Innovation and technology are at the heart of Husqvarna, with over 27 years of Automower® innovation, they are the market leader in robotic lawn care, their products providing an ingenious autonomous solution for each house.

The mowers work day or night, providing great cutting results, rain or shine. All the device’s important technological parts are safely protected from rain, as well as dust and grass clippings, so you know they’ll keep going, and going…and going!

Automower® finds its way back to the charging station automatically, topping up its battery before resuming its job. Technology has changed the way we live and today, Automower® shows the world that chores can now be done whilst you enjoy the good things in life.

Husqvarna has reshaped the future of lawn care and now anyone can mow their lawn from the palm of their hand.  

Automower® is designed to cut the lawn several times per week, only taking off a few millimeters at a time — the grass clippings simply fall back into the lawn, acting as a natural fertiliser.

"With Automower® cutting frequently, the lawn will look healthy, green and lush," says Dave Franklin, owner of Franklin Landscaping, Block regular and Husqvarna Brand Partner. "One of the best things about Automower® is you can run it off your phone, anytime of day, anywhere in the world".    

‘Who doesn’t love the future!’ Literally no one, and all of our contestants were fully onboard, Automower® becoming an important selling point for their outdoor spaces.

"With Automower® cutting frequently, the lawn will look healthy, green and lush," says Dave Franklin, owner of Franklin Landscaping.

The Husqvarna Automower® is battery-operated, with no direct emissions, minimising the carbon footprint so it was a great addition on the blocks.  

The eventual buyers of each home are purchasing with the full understanding that each property has been designed for maximum energy efficiency, and off-grid living — Automower® fits perfectly into this.

This week the contestants might be moving on from their newly completed homes, Husqvarna Automower® will live on, quietly maintaining a quality lawn across all five houses, as well as Scotty’s beautiful property, well into the future. 

“The Block continually works to showcase new and innovative technology as well as sustainable solutions that can work to enhance the lifestyle of the new homeowners and our planet — this was a key motivator for Husqvarna to integrate Automower® into the yards of all six Block Homes.”
