Yes, a simple sharpening of your mower's blades can make a huge difference in how your lawn looks. From cutting into a tomato with a dull knife to cutting paper with worn-out scissors, there's nothing worse than a dull blade. It's the same for your mower too!
Why Should You Care?🤔
Have you ever noticed how sometimes the grass looks clean and even, and other times like a hot mess? That's because the mower blades are not sharp.
Mowing the lawn might not be your dream weekend activity, so why not make it easier on yourself by putting some focus on your blades ☺️
Sharp Blades = A Clean Cut🪒
When your mower's blades are sharp, they slice through grass cleanly. This helps the grass heal quickly and grow strong.
On the other hand, a dull blade will rip and shred your grass, making it look awful, and the grass can now be susceptible to bugs and diseases. Ugh.
How Often Should You Sharpen Blades?
During the summer months, when you're mowing weekly, you should take care of your blades every month.
After you mow, be aware of the grass tips. Your blades need to be sharpened if they look:
Brown
Ripped
Jagged
Final Thoughts🌟
Is it boring maintenance? Yes.
Does it save you time and effort? Absolutely.
A little blade care goes a long way in keeping your yard looking amazing.
Happy Mowing!🌞
