Lawn Care Tip: Keep Your Lawn Mower Blade Sharp

Lawn Care Tip: The Importance of A Sharp Lawn Mower Blade

As we enter the summer months, our lawns will continue to need our care. Homeowners who are thinking of selling know the importance of that first impression and that buyers looking for houses for sale in Windsor may decide to view or not view on how the home looks, that includes the yard. When searching for Windsor homes for sale, buyers want to picture themselves living there and an unkempt home limits that. So whether you want to sell or you are happy in your forever home, keeping that lawn lush and green makes your home pop.

One of the most neglected and forgotten lawn care tips is the lawn mower blade. Simply, the sharper the better! It is more important than you think when keeping a healthy lawn. When the blade dulls you’ll notice the lawn is cut uneven. Beyond the aesthetics, a dull blade doesn't cut the grass as much as it shreds or tears it. That means the grass loses its ability to absorb water and nutrients and is open to more weeds growing. The dull blade also affects the mower's performance and wear. A dull blade can lead to added stress on belts, bearings, and the housing that holds the blade on. It also uses more energy so gas mowers go through gas faster and electric mowers use their battery faster. To avoid this, get your lawn mower blade sharpened once a year by a professional and keep your lawn and your lawn mower in top condition.
