How to sharpen lawn mower blades

If you are like many homeowners in the Meridian-Kessler and Broad Ripple area, you more than likely own a push mower.  The yards are smaller and you can efficiently mow the entire property in under 30 minutes using a small 21- or 22-inch push or self-propelled mower.  Some of the bigger properties as you move into the Meridian Hills and Nora neighborhoods require a riding lawn mower, but when it comes to sharpening your lawn mower blades it is all the same.  You may be asking, why do I even need to sharpen the blade(s) on my lawn mower or how do you do it?  These questions will be answered below.Why do I need to sharpen my lawn mower blades?For a clean cut, the mower blades must be sharp.  When the blade(s) gets dull, it will tear the blade of grass rather than cut it.  When the blade of grass … Continued

How much does it cost to mow my lawn? Can I get an estimate?

Your Guide to PricingWe get this question often… How come my neighbors yard cost $45 to mow weekly and my yard is $52?  There are many things that go into estimating properties that we service.  When we work up an estimate to mow your grass or an estimate to install mulch, we like to visit the properties as much as we can.  In the peak season, we will estimate from satellite imagery and adjust accordingly once we begin service.  Below is an example lawncare estimate for a typical Broad Ripple or Meridian-Kessler property.Understanding Pricing:Each company prices lawns a little differently.  To understand pricing, the company must understand their business’ financials to know the hourly rates they need to achieve to maintain profitability.  Often, you hear of “low-ballers” these are often small companies that really don’t have a grasp on their financials, don’t pay their guys a respectable wage, don’t have … Continued
