How often should I sharpen my lawnmower blade?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Sharpen your lawnmower blade at least once per season, or more often if you mow frequently or hit rocks and roots. A sharp blade cuts grass cleanly, which promotes healthier growth. Dull blades tear grass, leaving brown tips and making your lawn more susceptible to disease.
Why It Matters
A sharp blade means a healthier lawn. Clean cuts heal faster, and you will not have to mow as often because the grass stays healthier between cuttings.
