Keep Your Garden Tools Sharp: Expert Services in the Bay Area

If you are a gardener, even if it's just for a couple of hours on a Sunday, you know the pride and pleasure that come with a well-maintained yard. Having the right tools can make gardening even more of a pleasure and allow you to spend less time working on the garden and more time enjoying it. You may not have or need all the equipment available at your local garden supply store and what you do have may not be the most expensive money can buy. But if you have what you really need and maintain your tools well, you are minimizing the time you need to devote to the garden and maximizing its beauty and utility.

Dull Tools Open the Way to a Dull Garden 

When you use sharp cutting tools, you are taking your plant care to another level. Sharp edges give you clean and precise cuts. A sharp blade slices smoothly through the plant tissue which allows plants to recover more quickly and with reduced risk of contracting disease or infection. A sharp blade also gives you the type of cut and angle you want, thereby making it easier to get the look you are aiming for.

However, with dull blades, it's another story. The cuts are ragged with uneven edges which means that recovery is slower. When plant tissue is crushed by a dull blade the open wounds are more susceptible to infections and diseases. Because you have to use more force, the cut is less precise. And, of course, the more force you apply to a blade, even one that is not as sharp as it should be, the greater the risk of injuring yourself either by straining a muscle or slicing through skin. Another factor to keep in mind is that with sharp garden tools, you can work faster finish the work efficiently, and have more time to spend enjoying the fruits of your gardening labors.

Protect Your Tools and Make Gardening More Fun

Good-quality gardening tools are designed for hard use, but that does not mean that they will not show signs of wear over time. The most common maintenance is that of washing off the dirt and lubricating the springs and moving parts. But that is not enough. Tools like pruning shears, hedge trimmers, loppers, lawn mower blades, axes, edgers, and grass shears have blades that will become dull with use. Working with these dull blades will not just increase the physical effort needed to get the look you want but it will also not give you the look, edges, and definitions that are so important to a garden’s appearance. Dull blades develop slowly and a regular schedule of sharpening by a company that does professional and expert sharpening of gardening tools will keep your equipment in top condition. This will not only make gardening easier and give you better results, but professional sharpening will extend the life of the tools, saving you money in the long run. A company like Rejuvenated Knives in Palo Alto, CA offers door-to-door sharpening services in the Bay Area that guarantee you an expert professional gardening experience.
