The invention relates to an automatic landscape mowing method and device. The method comprises the following steps of 1, determining a boundary P3 to be trimmed; 2, determining the lawn height corresponding to each independent closed area in the P3, and performing synchronous griding processing on each closed area in the P3 by taking the working breadth of a mowing unit of the mowing device as theside length to obtain the mowing height and the center point coordinate corresponding to each grid; 3, using the number of mowing units of the mowing device as grouping capacity, traversing all gridsin the P3 in groups in sequence, using the mowing height and coordinate information corresponding to each group of grids as instructions to be stored in sequence, and obtaining mowing instruction sequence information P4; and 4, automatically and sequentially traversing the actual lawn in groups according to the P4 by the mowing device, trimming the lawn according to the mowing height corresponding to the instruction, so as to obtain a target landscape pattern. The mowing device is suitable for multi-shaft or single-shaft cutters, the rotating speed and the height of each cutter are independently controlled, the mowing precision is high, and the mowing efficiency is high.
