How to unlock the The grass is always greener achievement in Lawn Mowing Simulator - Definitive Guide

According to guides and comments that appear to have been deleted, the lawn at 59 Coville St. is the best location to try for this, and I agree. However, no matter how careful I was with the mower, I always got 25 cents of collision damage. So I decided to do the entire lawn with the Stig string trimmer. It took me 36 minutes and 39 seconds. No penalties, and achievement popped! Gotta do what you gotta do!!!

Update (1/19/22): I got another perfect score without even trying using the Toro ProLine H800 and the attached mulch kit on the rear garden of Rowley Manor. 7-minute job. Beats 36 minutes and 39 seconds.

Did you have to do any battery recharges? I did one with no fines/penalties but spent .55 on recharging my trimmer and didn't get the achievement

No, I was able to get through the whole job without recharging. I made sure the trimmer was recharged to 100% after finishing the previous job.

I also tried with the trimmer and had no fines/penalties, but I guess since I had to recharge the achievement did not unlock cry

I got this on “Garden Lawns 59 Coville Street”. There are no flowers or plants to worry about. I used the Patterson mower that is one of the starting three. Just make sure to have the mower blades turned off and drive very slow when going off/on the trailer. Otherwise it is easy on this level.

Tried this one 2x today, got some silly 0.25 penalties ... no no achievement... drives me mad as I did not hit anything... might have been during driving off from the trailer or back to the trailer. 3rd time the charm they say... :)

This has to be bugged. After getting the $0.25 collision penalty countless times on Rowley Manor Rear Gardens, I gave up and spent 40 minutes cutting 59 Coville St with a string trimmer. I still got the random $0.25 collision penalty at the end...

Did the string trimmer trick on Rowley Manor Rear Garden. Took about 30 mins but achievement popped right after.

The only secret to not getting that small collision fee is always have your blades at max height when getting on and off the truck. And disengage blades when not on grass.

This achievement is bugged! I spent 77 minutes with the string trimmer, only doing a very small area with the lawn mower, there's no way I hit anything, and the lawn mower has a catcher, yet I was hit with a collision penalty and a clean up fee! Aaaarrghh! This achievement will be the death of me.

I would suggest doing this on 62 Coville Street... This level can be completed in under 15 minutes with the strimmer, and as a bonus you will also get the Size Isn't Everything achievement if using one of the earlier lawnmowers.

Got this on my first contract... which took me like an hour to cut. I don't think I stick with this game it's so boring.

After not playing this game for a few months, I picked it back up and the first lawn I mowed was 62 Coville Street. I did the whole yard with the string trimmer, and the achievement popped! 🤞🏻

I managed to get this on a Toro Z master 2000 on the small backyard behind the riding school. Failed 5 times (I refuse to string trimmer a full job) with a 25c fine/penalty every time. On my 6th attempt i decided to reverse on to the trailer after the job was done and no fine. I don't know if driving up the ramp forwards gives a small fine every time but it's possible! Or i just got lucky. So if this doesn't work for you, sorry.. time to whip the trimmer out

Since the original guide(s) and accompanying useful comments seem to have been removed, I figured I'd put together some of the helpful tips from those, along with my own thoughts after finally unlocking this...

- First and foremost: be careful driving your mower off/on the trailer! You can easily get dinged for a collision here, and it's likely what it happening to anyone who has been careful doing the actual cut, but still winds up with a seemingly random .25 'collision' at the end of the day. Drive slowly and raise the cutting deck all the way back up to its maximum height before loading it back on. I'd also recommend backing it onto the trailer when you are done, though you may be able to carefully drive it on head first depending on the mower (I backed it onto the trailer when I got the achievement).

- Use string trimmers around problem areas or fixed objects (flower beds, trees, benches, walls, etc) first to give you a decent buffer to operate your mower in.

- As far as locations, lots of people have said that 59 Coville St. is a good place to attempt this, although personally I got it on one of the rectangular gardens at Hilltop House (the ones with the gnome and weird @/# statues) which I usually preferred to attempt it at since there are no flowers to deal with here.

-If you have one, I found a zero-turn mower (like the SCAG Patriot) to be pretty useful when going for this, preferably with a mulching deck attachment so you don't have to worry about fines for leaving clippings.

I found that the collision fee sometimes adds up (or maybe it always does) between different jobs. So if you got $0.50 of collisions on your previous job you would start out with $0.50 on your next job guaranteed. I found that out after getting $2.50 in collision fees while only using the trimmer.

To fix you need to restart your game

Also Rowley Manor Rear Garden would be my personal choice to get this, it's just one small square with no objects near it, so as long as you can get to the lawn without hitting the walls you won't have any problems. If you do this with one of the three original mowers you can get the Size isn't everything achievement at the same time!

After struggling to avoid the minuscule collision fees as so many of my fellow achievement hunters have stated, I finally got this achievement on the 58 Coville Street Contract. I used the Stiga Estate 2084 H mower and the Stiga SBC 900 D AE trimmer for clean-up. It took me about 9 minutes total which is a much quicker solution if you don't want to spend half an hour strictly trimming.

What finally saved me from incurring the collision fine on the mower was basically what Herr Murphy stated above with an extra step. I SLOWLY backed the mower onto the trailer after raising my cut height to the maximum of 9.00 cm. I took things a step further by also disengaging the mower's blades for safe measure by pressing the cn_X button. I couldn't seem to successfully back any of the larger mowers onto the trailer without getting dinged for a "collision". I also noticed that if my blades were engaged, I'd sometimes hear the collision sound on the concrete or when backing up onto the trailer. SO FRUSTRATING.

One last tip I'd recommend if you decide to use the equipment I've mentioned is to watch your turns and take it slow while using the mower! The Stiga Estate 2084 H mower can easily damage the lawn with its wheels if you turn too quickly. Also, take extra caution when trimming around the flowers without planters. I went ham around the pool and potted plants but took things extra slow around the unprotected flowers.

I hope this helps someone! toast

This will need to be done on a mowing contract, more specifically a general cut contract. Fair warning, it's going to be a bit of a pain to complete. The Fine isn't the issue as you just need to make sure you don't cut into any flowers or leave any grass clippings. The Penalty is the issue as this includes any damage done to the mower. When you drive your mower off of the trailer at the start of the contract, you will automatically take just a small hint of damage. You take another tiny hit when reloading the mower back at the end. There's no way to avoid this so you'll need to complete the contract without the mower. That's right, you'll be doing the entire contract with your Strimmer, making this trophy quite a pain. Try and choose a contract that has a small work area, preferably something with only a backyard or minimal flowers (Crossley Riding School Paddock B and 64 Coville Street Rear Lawns are both really good for this since they don't have any flowers and aren't too big). When the contract starts, equip your Strimmer and get to work. If your contract does have flowers, just be careful to not clip them. Make sure you're angled as far down as possible as to well to ensure you're cutting the grass at the right length. Once the contract shows as complete, put the Strimmer back in the truck and end the contract. You should finish with no penalties and once you're back on the summary screen, the trophy will unlock.

No matter how hard you try, you will not be able to complete the lawnmower contract. When moving/lifting onto a trailer, the lawn mower receives minimal damage (however, I suspect that this can also happen with large lawn mowers stupidly when loading a level - you can feel a characteristic vibration when the car appears. I somehow skipped the level without even touching lawnmower, but still received a fine for the collision).
The bottom line is that you will only have to fulfill the contract with the trimmer. Choose a smaller card, preferably without flowers, a small lawn mower first and get started =)

It happened to me by itself when I simply mowed everything in the first territory, the main thing is not to open the blades on the sidewalk, and then the trophy will not be a problem
