Greenworks 60V Range: A Guide to Your Garden Setup

Mow the lawn, tidy the edges and clear the path: a weekend in the garden can involve a few different tools. The Greenworks 60V range brings many of those jobs onto a shared cordless battery platform, so you can build a setup around your garden and add to it as you go.

Where should you start? Choose the job you do most often, then check which tools, batteries and charger come in the box. Here's a guide to the Greenworks range at The Grit, with a closer look at the 60V options.

What is the Greenworks 60V range?

Tackle every garden task with the Greenworks 60V cordless platform. The collection covers everything from lawn mowers, trimmers, and blowers to chainsaws, pressure washers, and even a self-propelled garden cart, complete with versatile multi-tool attachments.

Best of all, the entire range shares a single power source. Greenworks Australia's 4.0Ah 60V battery swaps effortlessly across compatible tools, saving you both money and clutter. (Tip: Always confirm the recommended battery size and charger for individual tools, especially high-draw equipment).

Start with the lawn mower if mowing is the main job

If lawn care dominates your outdoor routine, start strong with a complete kit. The Greenworks 60V 51cm Self-Propelled Mower Kit gives you everything you need right out of the box: the mower, a high-capacity 6.0Ah battery, and a 6A fast charger. Built for effortless performance, it boasts a durable steel deck, smooth variable-speed rear-wheel drive, seven adjustable cutting heights, and versatile mulching and side-discharge options.

It also features dual battery ports with automatic switch-over to keep you moving without interruption. (Quick note: The dual-port setup is built into the mower, but the kit includes a single battery—so be sure to factor in a spare if you want continuous, back-to-back runtime).

Before you buy, consider your lawn’s layout as well as its size. A wide 51cm deck dramatically cuts down on passes across open grass, but obstacles like gates, garden beds, and trees require easy manoeuvrability. Real-world runtime will also vary depending on grass thickness and terrain, so weigh up your yard’s actual conditions rather than relying solely on advertised run times.

Tidy edges with a string trimmer that can do more

For grass around fences, garden beds and awkward corners, look at the Greenworks 60V brushless multi-tool string trimmer. This model has a 40cm cutting width, variable-speed trigger and Load N' Go bump head. It is listed as a skin, so budget for a suitable battery and charger if you don't already have them.

The multi-tool format is worth considering if your job list extends beyond trimming grass. The range includes pole saw, hedge trimmer, edger and cultivator attachments. Check each attachment's compatibility with your exact power head; sharing a brand or battery voltage doesn't establish an attachment fit.

If you're starting from scratch, the 46cm mower, multi-tool string trimmer and blower kit brings several jobs together. Its package includes a self-propelled mower, string trimmer, axial blower, hedge trimmer and pole saw attachments, one 4.0Ah battery and a 6A fast charger. Compare that list with what you'll actually use, and remember that its single battery is shared between the tools.

Choose a dedicated hedge trimmer for regular hedge care

For regular shaping and trimming, a dedicated handheld tool is another option. The Greenworks 60V brushless hedge trimmer skin has a 66cm blade, a listed 28mm blade opening and a rotatable rear handle.

Think about your hedge's height, width and access, and how the tool will feel with a battery fitted. A handheld trimmer and a pole attachment suit different working positions. Follow the tool's cutting limits and instructions rather than treating the blade opening as a guarantee that every branch of that thickness can be cut.

Finish the clean-up, then add specialist tools as needed

A leaf blower helps gather loose leaves and grass clippings after mowing and trimming. The Greenworks 60V 630CFM leaf blower kit includes a 2.5Ah battery and 3A charger, plus variable-speed control, cruise control and a turbo button. It's a focused entry point if clearing paths and outdoor areas is your main task.

For cutting work, the 40cm chainsaw 4Ah kit includes a battery and charger and has automatic chain oiling. For moving garden materials, the self-propelled garden cart skin offers lift assist and a listed maximum load of 100kg. These are tools to add when the job calls for them.

Kits, skins and battery capacity: what to check

A kit bundles the tool with the accessories named in its package list. A skin is the tool without a battery and charger. Compare the complete setup cost, including anything you still need, rather than the tool price alone.

Battery capacity, shown in amp-hours or Ah, is another consideration. More capacity can give you more time between charges, but battery weight matters on a handheld tool. For example, the Greenworks 60V 8.0Ah battery is listed at 2.9kg. Check the tool's battery guidance and balance runtime needs against comfort.

• Starting fresh? Compare a complete kit with the jobs on your regular garden list.
• Already own compatible 60V batteries? Look at skins to expand your setup.
• Working across several tools? Check whether the kit includes one battery or more, and plan charging breaks accordingly.
• Adding a multi-tool attachment? Confirm the exact power-head fit before buying.

Before using any tool, read its manual and wear the protective equipment it specifies. Battery power still leaves blades, chains and cutting line to maintain. Start with the work you do most, choose the right package, and browse Greenworks at The Grit to build a garden setup at your own pace.
