Lawn equipment takes a beating in the hot summer months. Chances are your equipment will be hard to start — if at all — after sitting idle hibernating in your garage all winter. The blade is probably dull, leaving a ragged cut rather than a crisp, clean cut for a more beautiful lawn.
Joey Brocato, owner of Cahaba Lawn & Garden, recommends checking your equipment ahead of the season to get a jump on the maintenance rush in the spring. Their tune-up includes changing the oil, air filter, spark plug, sharpening the blade and checking the running gear.
You want to ensure it is fully tuned up and ready to go instead of waiting until you’re ready to use it, like so many do. Starting an early maintenance schedule leads to a quicker turn-around time, getting you ready to care for your lawn.
Cahaba Lawn & Garden, nestled in a quaint space in Cahaba Heights in Vestavia Hills, offers name-brand equipment and a robust parts inventory, plus they can repair almost all brands.
Cahaba Lawn has been selling and servicing Snapper brand walk mowers, riding mowers and lawn tractors since 1989, and this year they’ve added the Shindaiwa line. In addition, they now carry a full line of Echo and Shindaiwa brand chainsaws, leaf blowers, backpack blowers, line trimmers and a large variety of attachments. It’s important to note that Echo and Shindaiwa have the strongest warranty in the business: five-year consumer warranty and two-year commercial warranty.
Joey says the success of the team’s 30-plus years in business and the reason they are enjoying third-generation customers is simple: “We’re honest, we know what we’re doing, and we apply the Golden Rule every day,” Joey said.
