As summer winds down and the fall season approaches, homeowners and landscape professionals prepare for the transition from mowing to leaf removal and winter readiness. September is the ideal time to service your equipment, before colder temperatures set in and repair shops get backed up.
At Suburban Lawn Equipment, we’ve created this Fall Service Checklist to help you plan ahead, avoid downtime, and protect your investment.
What Equipment Should You Service This Fall?
1. Lawn Mowers
Even if the mowing season is nearly over, now is the time to prepare your mower for off-season storage. Delaying maintenance until spring can lead to performance issues and unexpected repairs.
Recommended Service:
- Oil change and spark plug replacement
- Blade sharpening or replacement
- Fuel stabilizer treatment or full fuel drain
- Battery inspection and cleaning
2. Leaf Blowers and Lawn Vacuums
These machines become essential during fall. Ensuring they’re in top working order now means fewer issues when leaf volume increases.
Recommended Service:
- Inspect and replace fuel lines and air filters
- Clean carburetors
- Check throttle responsiveness and tubing connections
- Test engine startup
3. Snow Blowers
Preparing your snow blower now, before the first storm hits, ensures you’re not left scrambling in cold weather. Early servicing also helps avoid long turnaround times during peak winter demand.
Recommended Service:
- Inspect belts, scraper bars, and paddles
- Change oil and spark plug
- Test electric starter and battery
- Check shear pins, skid shoes, and drive system
September Special: Take advantage of 10% off snowthrower parts and service with a tune-up or 50% off pickup and delivery, now through September 30, 2025.
4. Chainsaws, Trimmers, and Edgers
If you’re wrapping up trimming or edging projects for the season, it’s smart to clean and inspect these tools before putting them away.
Recommended Service:
- Clean chain bars and adjust tension (chainsaws)
- Replace or sharpen blades
- Clear fuel lines and filters
- Inspect spark arrestors and mufflers

- Extend the life of your equipment
