5 DIY Outdoor Projects Made Easier with Power Equipment

When it comes to tackling outdoor projects, having the right tools can make all the difference. Power equipment provides a significant advantage, allowing you to complete tasks more efficiently and with less physical strain. In this blog post, we’ll explore five DIY outdoor projects that are made easier with the help of power equipment. From lawn care to landscaping, these projects can be accomplished more quickly and effectively, leaving you with more time to enjoy your outdoor space.

1. Perfecting the Lawn with a Lawn Mower

Maintaining a lush and well-manicured lawn is a priority for many homeowners. One of the most essential power tools for lawn care is a quality lawn mower. With features like adjustable cutting heights and self-propulsion, mowing becomes a breeze. Whether you have a small yard or a large expanse of grass, the right power lawn mower will make the task quicker and more efficient, leaving your lawn looking pristine.

2. Trimming Hedges and Trees with Power Tools

Trimming hedges and trees is another common outdoor project that can be time-consuming and physically demanding. However, with the right power tools like hedge trimmers and chainsaws, this task becomes much easier. Power hedge trimmers effortlessly shape hedges, giving them a neat and tidy appearance. Similarly, a chainsaw can make quick work of pruning branches and even felling small trees. These tools offer precision and power, making your trimming projects more manageable.

3. Sprucing Up the Deck with a Power Pressure Washer

Over time, decks can accumulate dirt, grime, and mildew, making them look worn and uninviting. A power pressure washer is an excellent tool for rejuvenating your deck’s appearance. With high-pressure water jets, a power washer effectively removes built-up dirt and stains, revealing the deck’s natural beauty. Power pressure washers are also useful for cleaning other outdoor surfaces like patios, driveways, and fences, saving you hours of scrubbing with a brush.

4. Excavating and Landscaping with a Tiller

Creating a new garden bed or revamping an existing one often involves digging and preparing the soil. This can be a labor-intensive task, but a power tiller can simplify the process. Tilling machines break up compacted soil, allowing for better nutrient absorption and root growth. They save time and energy compared to manual digging, enabling you to prepare large areas efficiently. Whether you’re planting flowers, vegetables, or creating a new landscape design, a power tiller will be your trusted companion.

5. Clearing Leaves and Debris with a Leaf Blower

Maintaining a tidy yard during the fall season can be challenging due to the continuous influx of fallen leaves and debris. A power leaf blower provides a quick and efficient solution. Instead of raking for hours, a leaf blower blows away leaves, twigs, and other debris in a matter of minutes. With adjustable speed settings and nozzle attachments, you can direct the airflow precisely where it’s needed, simplifying the cleanup process and leaving your yard looking pristine.

Conclusion

Power equipment revolutionizes the way we approach outdoor projects. From mowing the lawn to clearing debris and beautifying landscapes, power tools save time, effort, and ensure excellent results. By investing in the right power equipment, you can transform your outdoor space while minimizing physical strain and maximizing efficiency. So, whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or a homeowner looking to tackle outdoor projects, consider harnessing the power of these tools to make your tasks easier, more enjoyable, and ultimately achieve the outdoor oasis you’ve always desired.

Start the Season Right: How to Prepare Your Lawn Mower for Spring

As the weather warms up and the grass starts to grow, it’s important to prepare your lawn mower for the spring season. Proper maintenance can help your lawn mower run smoothly and efficiently, ensuring that your lawn looks its best. Here is a checklist of steps you can take to prepare your lawn mower for spring:

1. Change the Oil

Before you start using your lawn mower, check the oil level and condition. If the oil is dirty or low, replace it with a high-quality oil that is recommended for your lawn mower. Check the owner’s manual for specific instructions.

2. Change the Spark Plug

A worn or dirty spark plug can make it difficult to start your lawn mower or cause it to run poorly. Replace the spark plug at the beginning of each mowing season to ensure that your lawn mower runs smoothly.

3. Clean or Replace the Air Filter

A clogged air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, which can cause it to run poorly. Clean or replace the air filter at the beginning of each mowing season to ensure that your lawn mower is running efficiently.

4. Sharpen the Blades

Dull blades can tear the grass rather than cutting it cleanly, which can damage the grass and make it more susceptible to disease. Sharpen the blades before the start of the mowing season to ensure that your lawn mower cuts the grass cleanly and efficiently.

5. Check the Fuel

If you left fuel in your lawn mower over the winter, it may have gone bad. Drain the old fuel and replace it with fresh fuel that is recommended for your lawn mower. Make sure to use the correct fuel-to-oil ratio, and never use old or stale fuel.

6. Inspect the Belts and Cables

Check the belts and cables on your lawn mower for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any worn or damaged parts to ensure that your lawn mower is running safely and efficiently.

7. Check the Wheels

Check the wheels on your lawn mower to ensure that they are properly inflated and free from damage. Properly inflated wheels will ensure that your lawn mower is running smoothly and making even cuts.

By following these steps to prepare your lawn mower for spring, you can ensure that it is running smoothly and efficiently. A well-maintained lawn mower will not only help you achieve a beautiful lawn, but it will also last longer and require fewer repairs over time. If you don’t want to do the work yourself, bring your mower to Suburban Lawn Equipment for a service.

Five Reasons You Should Invest In A Pressure Washer

While pressure washers may seem expensive, they really are worth the investment. Suburban has a variety of pressure washers to choose from. Here are five reasons why a pressure washer is a good investment.

1. Keeps you and your family healthy

Allergens like pollen, mildew, algae and mold often settle in the crevices on the exteriors of homes. Pressure washing your home every so often can help to eliminate these allergens and alleviate any pesky allergy symptoms. Pressure washing is a great way to reduce symptoms during allergy season.

2. Increases property value

Pressure washing your home can immediately increase curb appeal and property value. It is a simple task that can really go a long way. It is also a necessary task before painting or renovating the exterior of your home, so you can be one step ahead when preparing for updates to your home.

3. Saves you money in the long run

Hiring a pressure washing service can be expensive. The national average cost of a pressure washing service is $299. By purchasing a Hustler pressure washer from Suburban Lawn Equipment, after two uses you will already have made up the cost. By pressure washing regularly you can save on repair bills. 

4. Prevents damage and helps with proactive maintenance

The dirt, mold, mildew and debris that can accumulate on the exterior of homes can cause many larger issues when not properly taken care of. By being proactive you can reduce the risk of these issues and save yourself some time and money. A pressure washer makes this process much easier than doing much of the cleaning by hand.

5. Most efficient for cleaning exteriors

A pressure washer is the most efficient way to clean not only the exterior of your home but other aspects of your property like; driveways, curbs, steps, decks, patios and outdoor furniture. Using a pressure washer makes these tasks much easier.

3 Reasons a Commercial Zero Turn Mower Might be Right for Your Delaware Landscaping Business

3 Reasons a Commercial Zero Turn Mower Might be Right for Your Delaware Landscaping Business

Shopping for a zero turn mower is similar to shopping for a car; there are luxury and economy models, both get you from point A to point B and all zero turning radius (ZTR) lawn mowers cut grass. They just do it with a different degree of comfort and quality.

When it comes to landscaping, time is money. The faster you get one job done, the sooner you can move onto the next one. Commercial ZTR mowers are more comfortable and make you more money.

Zero Turn Mower Comparison Chart 

High Performance Engine: The fastest mowers on the market, commercial zero turns will zip across the grass at speeds up to 13 miles per hour (mph). These mowers are powered by high-performance Kawasaki or Briggs & Stratton Vanguard engines. Considered some of the best lawn mower engines available, these reliable powerhouses have up to 30 horsepower (HP) of grass devouring strength.

Full-Suspension: When mowing all day, you want as comfortable a ride as possible. Look for a commercial zero turn mower with full-suspension for the smoothest ride.  Full suspension isn’t just good for the operator, it actually allows the mower to cut better. With full-suspension, the mower will follow the contours of the lawn for the most consistent cut. The reduced shock require less repairs.

Reviews

Mowing Deck: It’s not all about size, it’s how you use it… Sure a 61″ deck is more than 5 feet of cutting girth, but the decks on commercial zero turns are built with performance features not found elsewhere. Look for decks with sloped fronts, which push the grass up, resulting in a more consistent cut. Some decks on commercial ZTR mowers include a revolutionary cutting system that allows for superior airflow discharge and enhanced cut quality.
