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: How often should a lawn mower be tuned up?

• <div><p>How often you tune up a lawn mower depends on how often your lawn mower is used. Minimally, it should be tuned up once a year. If you use it regularly or have a vast lawn, tuning it up every 100 hours is advisable.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to lubricate my mower blades?

• <div><p>It's a good idea to lubricate your mower blades and mowing deck with something protective like WD40 that prevents rust and helps stop grass and dirt from sticking to the blades and deck.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to fix a lawn mower pull cord?

• <div><p>Replacing a lawn mower pull cord yourself should only cost you the supplies, which comes to around $25. For more complex repairs, you&rsquo;ll need to get a quote from a local lawn mower repair shop.</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...

Mark was very prompt arriving at our home and very personable. Mark was very knowledgeable and explained to me in detail what will be needed to repair the leak along with the estimated cost. I am extremely satisfied with the repair and I would highly recommend Universal Plumping and Sewer Inc.

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...
