Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often should I sharpen my lawn mower blades? For the average Scranton lawn, we recommend sharpening every 20-25 hours of use. Dull blades tear the grass rather than cutting it, leading to brown tips and lawn disease.
Do you sharpen chainsaw chains on the spot? Not on the spot, but we do try service everyone in a timely manner. We recommend dropping them off. We ensure every tooth is ground to a uniform height and angle for straight, safe cutting.
