g'day mike,

in general a lot of gardeners who especially lay lawn,then keep it
trimmed using a cylinder/reel mower (some experience needed to get the
best out of these sorts of mowers, main one is learning how to keep
the cutting blades adjusted (not reffering to cutting height), once
learnt blades will stay sharper longer and give good service.

the cylinder mower cuts more gently so has far less chance of damaging
the new lawn, plus it rolls as well. and a well maintained cylinder
mower will out last a rotary mower probably 5 to 1.

talk to a green keeper if you decide to go this way.

again if you decide on a rotary mower seek advice from your local
specialist mower deale asto which one will suit you conditions, for
the first cut at least, cut it high. rotary mowers tend to tug at the
grass.
