As the cooler weather sets in, it’s the perfect time to give your lawn one final cut for the season. Before you pack up your equipment, make sure you’re using Auto-Mow blades designed to give a flawless finish. Sharp blades don’t just make the job easier—they protect your lawn from ragged edges, promoting healthier growth come spring.
Three (3) Practical Tips to Keep Your Mower Blades Sharp
- Rinse and Dry After Every Use. After mowing, hose off your blades to remove grass clippings and dirt. This keeps rust at bay and prevents buildup that can dull the blades. Make sure to dry them well to avoid corrosion, especially if you’re storing your mower for the winter.
- Inspect Monthly for Wear and Tear. At least once a month, check for chips, bends, or dull spots on your blades. Running over sticks, rocks, or thick patches can cause damage. If you notice significant wear, it’s time to sharpen or replace the blades. Many home improvement stores offer blade sharpening services if you don't want to do it yourself.
- Sharpen at the Start and End of the Season. For a healthy, evenly cut lawn, sharpen your blades at the beginning of spring and before putting your mower away for winter. If you mow frequently or have a larger yard, mid-season sharpening can make a big difference. A sharp blade cuts grass cleanly, reducing stress on the lawn and promoting greener, healthier growth.
Investing in high-quality, durable blades now means a lush, green start to next season. Your lawn will appreciate it, and you’ll enjoy the results when everything starts to bloom again. Make that last cut a good one!
