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 Pearsall edger owners
Pearsall is part of Perth's growing northern fringe with newer estates and larger family properties. Plenty of established edging on these blocks and most owners use their edgers regularly through the warmer months.
What we see from Pearsall is mostly newer edgers that just need their first service. Catching them at this age is ideal. Small problems get sorted, the rest of the edger gets a clean inspection, and you're set for years.

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.
How to put your edger away in May and not regret it in September
Most edger problems we see in spring are actually problems caused the previous autumn. How you store it matters more than how you use it.
If you live in Perth you've probably got a decent shed. Good. But putting an edger away for winter isn't just about lifting it onto a hook. There's a procedure if you want it to start first pull in spring.
Here's what we tell every customer who comes in for an end-of-season service:
- Run the tank dry, or use stabiliser. Two options. Either run it until it stalls so there's no fuel left to go off, or add a fuel stabiliser like Sta-Bil to a fresh tank, run it for a couple of minutes to get it through the carby, then store. Both work. Don't just leave half a tank of stale fuel in there.
- Pull the spark plug and squirt oil. A teaspoon of clean two-stroke oil into the cylinder, then pull the cord slowly a few times to coat the bore. Put the plug back in loose. This stops the cylinder rusting in the damp.
- Clean the air filter. Better to store it clean than start the new season pulling it apart.
- Wipe the shaft and blade. A rag with a bit of WD40 or similar. Stops surface rust on bare metal.
- Hang it up if you can. Off the floor, where mice can't get to it. We've cut more chewed-through fuel lines and ignition wires than I care to count.
One thing on fuel stabilisers. They work, but they have a shelf life themselves. Don't use a bottle of Sta-Bil that's been open in your shed for 3 years and expect it to do anything. Date the bottle when you open it.
Five minutes in May saves you a service call in September. Worth it.

Common questions
Do you really pick up from Pearsall for free?
Yep. Saturday pickup, Sunday delivery, no charge. We've been running this through Pearsall 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.
