What an edger service actually involves
Edgers cop a hammering. Concrete, limestone, the odd reticulation pipe. Most of them come in with two or three issues at once, not just a blunt blade. Here's what we go through:
Blade inspection & replacement
Edger blades wear fast on Perth's limestone driveways. We check the edge, the mounting, and replace if it's chipped or under spec.
Shaft & bearing service
Sand and grass clippings get into the shaft over time. We strip it, clean the bearings, regrease, and check for play.
Drive belt replacement
Belt-driven edgers stretch and slip. If yours is slow to spin up or screeching on startup, the belt's the usual culprit.
Carburettor clean & rebuild
Two-stroke edgers sitting over winter gum up fast. We strip the carby, clean the jets, and replace gaskets and diaphragms as needed.
Fuel system service
Old fuel, blocked filters, perished lines. Cheap to fix, but it's why most edgers won't start after a long break.
Full diagnostic & tune
Spark, compression, ignition timing, idle, throttle response. Same diagnostic process we've used for 50 years.
A note for Floreat edger owners
Floreat is part of Perth's inner-western suburbs. Heritage character, mature gardens, and properties where the edger has often been in service longer than the current owner has lived there. Good quality gear, well-cared for.
Most Floreat edgers we see are in for a service rather than a breakdown, which is the smart way to do it. Catch the small things early and you avoid the big bills later.

If it's a petrol, electric or battery edger and it's broken, we can have a look. Doesn't matter where you bought it.
Battery edgers: why yours died early
Lithium batteries are great, until they're not. We see plenty of 2-year-old battery edgers with batteries that won't hold charge. It's almost always how they were stored.
If you've gone the EGO Power+, Stihl AK, Husqvarna or any other battery edger, you've made a sensible call for a residential block. No fuel mixing, no carby issues, starts every time. But the batteries have rules and most people break them.
Three things kill lithium batteries faster than they should:
- Heat. Storing a battery in a tin shed in Perth summer is brutal. Inside that shed it gets to 50 degrees. The battery cells degrade fast above 35. Bring batteries inside the house when you're not using them. Garage is usually fine, shed is not.
- Storing them flat or full. If you're putting it away for more than a month, charge it to about 50 to 60 percent and leave it there. Storing fully charged stresses the cells. Storing fully flat lets them drop below safe voltage and the battery won't accept a charge again. Either extreme kills them.
- Fast charging every time. Most battery edgers come with a fast charger. Convenient, but constant fast charging shortens battery life. If you've got time, use the slower charger setting. Big difference over a few years.
If your battery has already started showing reduced runtime, you can sometimes recover some capacity by doing a full discharge then a slow full charge a couple of times. Doesn't always work, but worth trying before you spend 200 bucks on a replacement.
One more thing. If a battery is swelling, hot to touch, or has a smell, get it out of the house right now. Lithium battery fires are no joke. Take it to a recycling drop-off, don't put it in the bin.

Common questions
Do you really pick up from Floreat for free?
Yep. Saturday pickup, Sunday delivery, no charge. We've been running this through Floreat and the rest of Perth for years.
How much does an edger service cost?
It depends on what's wrong with it and what brand you've got. Once we've had a proper look on the bench, we ring you with a fixed price before we do any work. No charging by the hour, no surprises.
My edger won't start. Is it worth fixing?
Almost always yes. Most "won't start" jobs come down to old fuel, a gummed-up carby, or a tired spark plug. None of those are expensive fixes. We'll have a look and tell you straight if it's not worth it.
How often should I service my edger?
Once a year for most home edgers. If you're a tradie running it daily, twice a year. Sand, salt, and dust are hard on bearings.
Do you service electric and battery edgers too?
We do. Battery edgers don't have carbies to worry about, but the shaft, blade, drive system and electronics all wear and we can service the lot. EGO Power+, Stihl battery, Honda battery, all good.
How long does it take?
Usually back to you within a week. Picked up Saturday, delivered the following Sunday at the latest. If parts have to come in, we'll let you know.
How do I book?
Easiest is the online booking on this page. Pick a slot, leave your address, done. Or ring us on (08) 9444 1284 if you'd rather talk to a person.
