Hey, Ya'll! Been awhile since my last blog. Make sure your mower is ready for spring by calling and setting up an appointment for your mower and edger blades. We can pickup, clean and sharpen and deliver your mower in Wichita for $25.00.
The spring rush is probably going to be full, so don't put it it off. :)

Mower Blades While You Wait.
Call us at to set up an appointment, and we will sharpen your mower/edger blades while you wait. We can also do other things while you wait, like knives and small garden tools. Give us a call, send us an e-mail, and we will be happy to serve you.
Never A Dull Moment!
Mower Blade Balancing
Keep an ear on your mower's sound. If there is a "clacking or clanking" sound under the deck, your blade may be unbalanced. An unbalanced blade doesn't cut properly, and can cause damage to your mower! Bring it in to be balanced and resharpened right away.

Reel Mowers
Hey.
Going green with a people propelled reel mower? Here are a few tips.
1. Buy quality first. Remembers, tools like reel mowers are an investment. I recently worked on one that was over 40 years old! ( Look for good reel mowers at yard and estate sales!) Look at the quality of the parts, the fit and finish of the welds and connectors. Check the warranty information, and the availablity of replacement parts.
2. Learn how to properly adjust your mower. The blades should just touch the bed. You should hear a little "click, click, click" as they turn. If they clank together, you can ruin the blades. If you don't know how to adjust your blades, consult your owners manual. If you don't have a manual, your local reel mower sharpening shop can teach you.
3. Remember, some grasses are harder to work with than others. Bermuda, Zoysia, etc. are a LOT harder to cut than Fescue. If you have lots of weeds, consider using a regular rotary mower. Reel mowers aren't made for cutting tall weeds. Make sure you clear the lawn of any rocks and sticks, as these can damage your mower.
Going green can be good for the environment, but also reel mowers have several side benefits. You get more exercise, your lawn has that nice, lined look, and for smaller yards, you don't have to store a large mower.
You just hang the reel mower on the wall of the garage!
