Feb. 1 2019 Homeowner By Best Line Equipment

Getting Outside and feeling that strong warm sunshine and cool fresh air will really get you in the mood to start those Spring yard work projects. Whether you live in a forest, suburban, or rural environment, Best Line Equipment is your place to go when you're ready to break out your working clothes and get to work in the yard. Here are a few helpful tips and the equipment you need to get the job done right. 

The first thing to consider is getting your lawn back in shape. Green shoots are beginning to pop above the soil’s surface, and pretty soon you’ll have a full lawn to mow. For large lawn jobs, the best mower to choose is the zero-turn mower. This type of mower is built to maneuver skillfully around tight corners and other obstacles in your yard. This cuts down on the time homeowners spend around difficult areas, because the zero-turn does all of the work. Best Line carries both eXmark and Hustler zero turn mowers.  

STIHL chainsaws are the best for trimming dead limbs from trees. They give a clean cut with little to no sawdust to clean up afterward. The size chainsaw you get should be determined by the amount of work to be done and the size of your trees. A saw with a smaller engine is best for small jobs and requires less energy. 

How about washing the outside of your house? Best Line offers pressure washer rentals for heavy duty cleaning. View our pressure washer rental inventory here. With a pressure washer, you can go above and beyond taking out those mold and mildew stains on the house, deck, and sidewalks. Best Line Equipment also carries smaller pressure washers for purchase like the STIHL RB 200 that can also be used to clean off equipment such as a riding mower or a tractor.

When the weeds start to sprout, bring the trimmer out! With trimmers, you can slice right through those aggravating weeds and brush. View our inventory of trimmers here. The most important tip to remember when trimming your yard is to not go too low and stay even. By going to low, you end up scalping the grass which will promote weed growth. It is also helpful if you tilt the trimmer and work at around 30 degrees.

Need to clean out your gutters? Or maybe your roof could use some repairs after being buried in snow? View our lift rentals here so that you can reach those tough places with ease. Best Line Equipment offers many different sizes and types of scissor lifts and boom lifts to reach however high you need to go to get the job done. 

Lastly, do you live in an environment that always seems to lay leaves and debris on your lawn or porch? The STIHL sweeper have been very popular for spring and fall seasons for homeowners. Not only for their clean sweep every path it takes, but because of their multi-purpose and time saving qualities. The sweepers are perfect for your driveway, sidewalks and lawn that may be covered in leaves, stones, and any other kinds of dirt. A big reason folks have been in love with these machines is because they can even get rocks and stones that washed from their side beds down into the edges of the grass.
