Hello,
I would like to install a robotic lawn mower in my garden but am quite uncertain about how to proceed!
The green outline represents the future lawn area, the red line indicates a possible location for a boundary wire, and the blue area marks a privacy screen that will still be installed.
There is a terrace with chairs and a table between the two areas, so the mower cannot simply pass through there.
Questions:
What is the best way to mow the two separate areas?
Is the position of the charging station (at the end of the red lines) suitable?
Would the robotic mower be able to mow around the privacy screen as well?
My only idea so far is to create two separate mowing zones, manually place the mower on the second area at fixed intervals, and have it return to the charging station using the boundary wire. I would try to lay the wire as far as possible from the terrace chairs, probably in the gaps between the tiles.
The plot has a slight incline to the right, but there are no height differences between the garage, pool, and the lower area.
Thank you in advance.

It can already be controlled quite well. But not with the more affordable models.
@AxelH. Which high-quality robotic mower doesn’t have guide wires? Top models from Husqvarna have 2 or 3 guide wires but also use boundary wires. Guide wires are mainly for traveling to and from the mowing areas.

My preferred choice would be a Gardena Smart Sileno.
The idea is now to connect both areas with a narrow corridor (60cm (24 inches)). The corridor should run along the right side of the terrace coming from below, then beneath the pool, and finally rejoin the main lawn area between the pool and the garage. This way, it would avoid driving near the furniture.
Do you think this would work?

@AxelH. That wasn’t the question. It’s fine that you’re satisfied, but Kress is far from being at the top of robotic mowers.Somehow we’re talking past each other. At first, the discussion was about "higher-end" robotic mowers, then about "premium" ones, and now suddenly about the "top of the range" robotic mowers. I have never counted Kress among the top models and wouldn’t do so. The fact is: the device does exactly what it’s supposed to and even detects obstacles, which it skillfully avoids. This technology has not yet been implemented by other "higher-end" manufacturers. There, a boundary wire still has to be laid around every tree and shrub.The ultrasonic system from Kress works great with trees and hard objects, but unfortunately not so well with some bushes. Other manufacturers have been using ultrasonic sensors for more than 10 years as well. However, theirs do not go around obstacles but slow down almost to a complete stop.
For example, these models have a fixed SIM card and do not require Wi-Fi, four-wheel drive, or coverage areas larger than 3000m² (32,300 sq ft).
It is important that the robotic lawn mower suits the garden, and yours does.
Equally important is this for the original poster. They need a mower with a boundary wire that allows mowing time to be distributed properly across the areas and can handle narrow spots well.
