After a stretch of freezing temperatures, it’s no surprise that our lawn equipment takes some hits. Ice weather can be tough on metal, plastic, and moving parts, especially when gear has been left out or stored in damp places.

Whether it’s a mower you depend on...

When the first deep freeze of winter hits, we often turn our attention to the bigger things like pipes and power outages.
