Getting The Lawn Mowers Ready

It’s time for us to get the lawn mowers ready for the coming grass cutting season and you homeowners might want to do the same too. Having a properly maintained lawn mower is the first step to having a beautiful lawn. There are a few things you need to do every year to your lawn mower.

Start by making sure the blades are sharp and in good condition, if there are any large notches, bends, or any cracks you need to replace the blades, a blade that is badly damaged can be dangerous to you and to the mower. A cracked blade could break off and a notched or bent blade is out of balance and cause damaging vibrations to the mower.

Then preform the needed maintenance on the engine including changing the oil, replacing the air and fuel filters, and grease any bearings as well as the crankcase if it has one. This is just as important for a lawn mower as it is for a car, and neglecting doing it can shorten the life of the mower the same as it would your car.

Maintaining a mower properly can help it last for many years and give you an excellent quality cut for your lawn.

Time for an update

Well it’s been a while since I posted anything so I figured I’d just pop in and post a quick update.

After a long and fairly dry winter we are just starting to gear up for spring. We are getting all the lawn mowing equipment ready to go as well as our landscaping equipment.

The snowplows and salters are still on the trucks and they won’t be coming off till early April. You never know if winter has on last blast in store till at least April and while I wouldn’t mind on last snow storm I’m sure everyone else is looking forward to an early spring.

On final fun little note, Google street view just came online for Windsor and I am on it (check it out here). Yes I’m talking on my cell phone but don’t worry it’s before the ban went into effect. I actually saw the Google car a few times I just can’t remember where I was when I saw it other than this time.

Well that’s all for now and I’m going to try to remember to update this more often from now on.
