Q: How do I know if my lawn mower can handle leaves?

• <div><p>A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn&rsquo;t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that&rsquo;s a good sign it&rsquo;s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.</p></div>

Q: What do you call the cord you pull to start a lawn mower?

• <div><p>The cord you pull to start a lawn mower is commonly called the &ldquo;starter cord&rdquo; or &ldquo;pull cord.&rdquo; This uses and internal combustion process to start the lawn mower engine and it prone to wear and tear over time. You&rsquo;ll want to check the starter cord as part of your regular <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-tune-lawn-mower.htm">lawn mower tune-up</a> process.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to replace or repair a lawn mower?

• <div><p>Whether to repair or replace your lawn mower depends on what is wrong with it and how long you have owned it. If your lawn mower is relatively new, ensuring you regularly service it will help keep it in good shape. There are issues that will cost hundreds of dollars to repair, such as the engine blowing or the lawn mower going over rocks. Many people go by the three-year rule and replace their lawn mower rather than do repairs after this time.</p></div>

Q: How long does lawn mower repair take?

• <div><p>Most repairs take 1-3 days, but complex issues may require ordering replacement parts, extending the timeline.</p></div>

They were very efficient with both the tear off & the reshingeing. They did a very good job with their cleanup. They used a magnet roller tool to sweep for any nails or any other metal debris. They covered all the shrubbery so nothing could fall into them.

Very disappointed in this regrading lawn project. First make sure that all work to be done / not done is in writing before they start. Don't fall for the "if we don't do it, we won't charge you for it." Second, and most importantly they didn't compact the soil they brought in, so the area looked...

Paid Gibson's $100 to look at TV and the tech thought it could be repaired if he returned it to the shop. The tech at shop said that repairing the TV with "no picture or audio" would be too costly and go buy a new set. It sounded like they never plugged the TV in. I was able to repair it myself...
