What do I need to do to my lawn mower before using it in the spring?
Nothing! Your lawn mower is ready to mow again as soon as you need it.
I need to use my mower more this year is that OK?
Yes – if you need to add more gasoline, adding fuel stabilizer will help it run the best next spring.
Do you do riding mowers or lawn tractors?
No, we only do push lawnmowers (includes “self-propelled” push mowers).
Can I drop my mower off myself?
No, due to logistical limitations we cannot accept drop-offs.
Do you service snow thrower, reel mower, edger, leaf blower?
No, we only do push lawnmowers.
Can I send in extra blades for sharpening?
Not at this time.
Can I send in a replacement blade for installation?

My mower needs a new… blade, filter, spark plug, etc. Can you provide this service?
No not at this time.
My lawn mower does not work. Can I still get it winterized?
We will not service any lawn mower that does not start, unless specifically requested by the owner. In that case, we cannot take responsibility for the lawn mower’s functionality.
I have an old lawn mower that I do not need. Can I donate it to the team?
No, we cannot accept it.
What is the deadline for requesting a pickup?
We will only be accepting the first 100 mowers due to space and personnel limitations. Please fill out the pickup form by November 1st. We need this information for scheduling and logistics. But once we get 100 mowers we will not be scheduling further, even if that occurs before November 1st.

What if I will not be home when you come to pick up or deliver my lawn mower?
Please leave the lawn mower in a location, such as behind the house or next to the garage, where we can find it. Please detach all of the mower accessories like bags from the mower. Also, for electric please remove the battery.
