Lawn cutting isn’t just putting fuel in the mower

Carmel Landscaper  spends a lot of time doing preventive maintenance to make sure you get the highest quality cut possible.  Lawn cutting isn’t just putting fuel in the mower. First you have to make sure you have sharp blades with the right angle at the edge of the blade 40 degree angle is usually the best. You should sharpen you blades after every 8 to 10 hours of Lawn cutting.

You also need to set the lawn mower at the right height 3” to 4” inches is the best for the Midwest and you shouldn’t cut more than a third of the blade of with each cut. In the heavy growing season Carmel Landscaper recommends two cuts per week. We at Carmel Landscaper sharpen ours every night back at the shop never on Customers homes.
