American Lawn Mower Push Reel Mower

The American Lawn Mower brand is a cornerstone of American gardening history, founded in 1895. Originally established in Richmond, Indiana, the brand became famous for its classic mechanical push reel mowers, which offer an eco-friendly alternative to gas-powered lawn care. For over a century, the company has focused on providing simple, durable, and carbon-neutral solutions for homeowners.

Today, the brand is part of the American Lawn Mower Company family, which also encompasses the Great States and Earthwise labels. While it maintains its headquarters and deep roots in Shelbyville, Indiana, the majority of modern manufacturing and parts production has shifted to China to maintain competitive pricing, though the brand remains an American-owned entity.

Ownership has remained remarkably stable, with the company operating as a family-owned business for several generations. It continues to be a leading manufacturer in the manual mower market, emphasizing a legacy of 'quiet' lawn care that avoids the noise and emissions of internal combustion engines.
