If a tree root is protruding
into the perimeter of your
cutting area it would present a
problem for the mower.
A deep enough dip in the
surface of your lawn will also
present problems, possibly
causing the mower’s wheels
to lose their grip and skid.
If your mower encounters
particularly long grass it may
treat it as an obstacle as it
could bump the mower’s
obstacle sensor. The grass
needs to be at a reasonable
level before the Robot Mower
can function correctly.
If you don’t want to avoid
mowing this area, it’s best
to fill it with soil, compact
it down and re-seed it with
grass.
If the area is on the perimeter
line this can the be pegged
out as normal. If it is within
the mowing area it should no
longer be a problem.
One solution is to take
the perimeter around the
tree root, leaving this area
unmowed.
Alternatively, cut the tree root
back with a saw and fill any
resulting uneven surface, then
set the perimeter over it.
