ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for mowing and shredding a lawn is disclosed. A motor is mounted on a top cover. A push handle is engaged with the top cover and extends upwardly at an angle for pushing the apparatus in a forward rolling motion on the ground. The top cover is attached to and above a perforated partition that is supported by an undercarriage that includes a plurality of wheels. The motor has a downwardly extending drive shaft that extends through the top cover to engage a shredder blade. The drive shaft further extends downwardly through a central exhaust hole of the partition to a mower blade. The blades, when rotating, cause an upward air flow that sucks lawn debris into first the mower blade, through openings in the perforated partition, and into the shredder blade. The subsequent pulverized lawn debris is then ejected through discharge slots located around the peripheral edge of the top cover.
