Typical suburban blocks need reliable mapping, gate-friendly decks, and a routine that finishes on time. Here you’ll compare mid-tier wire-free mowers that handle curved beds, light shade, and split front/back zones. We break down guidance tiers—Vision-only for simple rectangles, GPS+Vision as the smart default for most yards, and RTK+Vision when you want repeatable paths through side corridors. Expect recommendations around 9–12″ deck widths to balance gate clearance and coverage, IPX6/IP66 weather protection for wet weeks, and ≤56 dB noise for HOA peace. You’ll also get zone planning for front/back lawns, base/dock placement that prevents “missed dock” moments, and wet-week tweaks (shorter windows, one-notch higher cut) to keep traction high.

Suburban lawns ask for reliable mapping, a deck that fits your gates, and a mowing schedule that actually keeps up.
