Always do your own tuneup for your lawnmower. Do not be fooled by the power shops telling you it cost like 150 or 200 to do a tuneup when it will cost 12 dollars or less to do it yourself. All you need is either buy the parts yourself  at a automobile  shop or purchase  a tune up kit for  your lawnmower. A tuneup just consists of changing oil,spark plug,air filter,add some new oil,add some gas treatment  and sharpen  your mower blade. You could  get a kit for like 12 dollars then sharpen  your mower blade òn your work bench. Make sure to brink your dirty engine oil to your local dept of public works location they will get rid of it for you for free .You just need to have approved  transport  container.

So yeah do your own tune up and youll have the last laugh at these power shops.You know what  im ...

Dont let this be you  Make sure when you dormant seed in the fall  either december or Febuary make sure the number one thing is you make sure you prepare the seed bed right first and cover it with salt hay or peat moss or else you will have a mess like this picture Another thing i see a lot of  errors people make is they dont mulch it with anything when you dormant seed.

I know having someone drive on your precious lawn with there pickup can be a eyesore and can also damage your lawn and stop your grass from growing. When you see this your first instinct is to knock the guy out who did it . Anyhow theres a quick fix for it. The fix is simple get some topsoil and peat moss.Then first aerate inside the tire tracks first to make sure it does not stay compacted from the tire tracks. Then mix topsoil and peat moss put the soil under the grass and then level the area so its level to the other grass thats it. Wait to see if the grass starts to grow about a week if not get some grass seed ,just make sure you match the grass seed with the grass. Thats it so thats your quick fix!
