Start the mower, then follow the customer jobs
Start mowing in One More Lawn by holding the dashboard key until the engine starts, then using the blade switch and deck-height lever. Progress from the practice yard to Elvira's backyard; in the full game, reaching 90% completion there opens Rubén's golf course, and completing the course opens Marcela's island.
Get comfortable with the physical controls
The mower's dashboard contains controls you interact with directly by looking at them and clicking. Its key, blade switch and deck lever handle different parts of getting ready to cut. Take time to locate them in the practice yard before trying to work around a customer's decorations.
If your button setup feels awkward, open Options > Controls > Keys and Buttons to remap keyboard, mouse or controller inputs. Wheel buttons can be configured under Wheel and Pedals. Make those adjustments before a careful mowing pass so you can concentrate on the lawn.
Start cutting in the practice front yard
- Hold the ignition key on the mower's dashboard until the engine starts, rather than releasing it before the engine catches.
- Engage the dashboard's blade switch to turn on the cutting blades.
- Adjust the cutting deck with its lever to prepare the mower for the grass and the job's requested height.
- Mow the open grass in manageable passes, leaving yourself comfortable turning room while you learn how to steer.
- Use the string trimmer along fence lines and in spaces the riding mower cannot reach to finish the close work.
- Complete the practice front yard before moving on to Elvira's backyard and its more demanding cutting requirements.
Finish Elvira's backyard without breaking anything
Elvira wants all the grass cut to 5 cm with nothing broken, especially her garden gnome. Her finished-job receipt includes comments on your work. Approach the yard as a precision job: give decorations clearance and leave awkward corners for careful cleanup.
- Set the mower's deck to 5 cm before cutting Elvira's grass so your passes match her requested height.
- Cut the open lawn while leaving generous clearance around the gnome and other delicate obstacles.
- Move the gnome somewhere safe to expose the grass underneath, placing it carefully rather than dropping it from a height.
- Finish fence lines and tight spaces with the string trimmer, taking care to avoid hitting the gnome hard enough to knock it over.
- Deliver Elvira's yard after your final inspection so you can review her receipt and comments on the completed work.
Handle fuel, grass bags and Chiquito's shop
Watch the fuel gauge and grass-bag gauge while you mow. Clippings collect behind the mower, and filled bags can be sold to Chiquito. He is the mobile vendor in the old green pickup, so keep that truck in mind when you are ready to sell grass or buy supplies.
- Retrieve the gas can when the mower needs fuel so you can refuel and continue working.
- Refuel from an accessible side of the mower instead of trying to squeeze against a fence; refueling works from any side.
- Call Chiquito by phone when you want to summon the mobile vendor for selling filled grass bags or buying supplies.
- Throw a filled grass bag into the back of Chiquito's pickup to receive payment immediately.
Unlock the golf course and wedding island
- Reach 90% completion in Elvira's backyard to unlock Rubén's Los Teros golf course in the full game.
- Complete Rubén's golf course to unlock Marcela's wedding island.
- Load the mower onto the ferry for the crossing to Marcela's island, where the wedding job requires mowing the whole island.
At Los Teros, the greens, fairways and tees each have their own cutting height. Check the requirement for the surface you are working on before adjusting the deck, and use the rake in the sand bunkers. Where the layout allows, finish areas sharing a height together to make your settings easier to track.
On the island, leave room between your mowing route and the shoreline. Driving into the water drowns the mower's engine, but you can push the mower back out. Plan turns where you have space, especially while getting used to the property.
The golf course and island are full-game destinations beyond the original demo. Your demo save carries over, so existing progress in Elvira's backyard can continue into the full release. Resume that work if you have already started it, then follow the customer-job route.
Bring friends without losing track of the job
Online co-op supports up to 6 players, each on their own mower on the same lawn. Friends can join using a Steam invite or a 6-digit code. Agree on who handles open grass and who handles delicate cleanup before everyone drives away.
Voice chat works by proximity, so regroup when you need to change the plan across a large property. Give careful work around decorations to players who feel comfortable with the controls. A shared inspection before delivery helps keep the group focused on the customer's requirements.
Check these details when mowing goes wrong
- The engine is not starting? Hold the ignition key until it catches, then check the fuel gauge and fetch the gas can if needed.
- The mower is moving over grass without the cut you expect? Check the blade switch and deck setting before making another pass.
- You cannot find the Zero Turn's height adjustment? Look to your left while seated to find its deck-height lever.
- Loose clippings remain after trimming? Drive the mower over them to collect the loose grass.
- Your steering becomes difficult after drinking? Beer can blur the screen and make steering harder, so save it for a break from precision work.
- A control or tool still behaves incorrectly? Use Found a bug? on the title screen or pause menu to report what happened.
