Garden Pruner Sharpening in Portland
Dull pruners crush a stem instead of cutting it, and that hurts your plants. A crushed cut heals slowly and lets in disease. Garden pruner sharpening in Portland brings your pruners back to a clean, sharp edge, so every cut is healthy and easy on your hands.
Healthy Cuts for Your Plants
Bypass pruners work like scissors, and they need a sharp blade to make a clean cut. When they get dull, they tear and bruise the stem. We sharpen the cutting blade by hand and check that it closes clean against the anvil or the bypass edge. Your plants get a clean cut that heals fast, and your hands do less work. With our long growing season, pruners here get a lot of use, so a yearly sharpening keeps them in shape.
What Pruner Sharpening Costs
Garden pruner sharpening is a flat $14. That covers the cutting edge and a check that the blades close clean. For bigger jobs, our lopper sharpening handles branches, and shovel sharpening covers your digging tools.
