Prepare for Growth

As the growing season approaches, it’s essential to ensure your lawn mower is in top condition to tackle the lush greenery ahead. In this guide, Landscapes USA shares expert maintenance tips to keep your healthier lawn and minimizes stress on the grass.

Check Oil Levels:

Regularly check the oil levels in your lawn mower’s engine and replace old or dirty oil to maintain optimal performance. Landscapes USA advises following the manufacturer’s recommendations for oil type and viscosity to prolong the life of your mower.

Inspect Air Filters:

Inspect and clean or replace the air filter in your lawn mower to prevent dirt and debris from entering the engine, which can impede performance. Landscapes USA suggests checking the air filter regularly, especially in dusty conditions common to some areas.

Test Spark Plugs:

Ensure proper ignition by testing and, if necessary, replacing the spark plugs in your lawn mower. Landscapes USA recommends checking for signs of wear or corrosion and replacing spark plugs annually to maintain reliable starting and smooth operation.

Fuel Maintenance:

Use fresh, clean fuel and add a fuel stabilizer to prevent ethanol buildup and fuel degradation, which can lead to engine issues. Landscapes USA advises emptying the fuel tank and running the mower until it stalls at the end of the season to prevent fuel-related problems.

Prepare your lawn mower for the growing season ahead with these essential maintenance tips from Landscapes USA. By following these expert recommendations, you can ensure your mower operates at peak performance, allowing you to achieve a beautifully manicured lawn that enhances your outdoor space’s beauty and enjoyment.
