Shovel Sharpening in Portland

A sharp shovel is a thing most people never think about, until they dig in one. A dull shovel bounces off roots and packs into heavy Oregon clay. Shovel sharpening in Portland gives your shovel a clean cutting edge, so it slices into soil, sod, and roots with a lot less effort.

Cleaner Digging in Heavy Soil

Our clay soil and thick root systems are hard on a dull shovel. A sharpened edge cuts through them instead of fighting them, which saves your back and your knees. We sharpen digging shovels, edgers, and spades, setting a clean bevel along the blade. It makes edging beds, slicing sod, and cutting roots feel easy again. Gardeners and landscapers across Portland keep their shovels sharp for exactly this reason.

What Shovel Sharpening Costs

Shovel sharpening is a flat $10. That covers a clean, sharpened edge across the blade. If you keep a whole set of garden tools, bring them together. We also sharpen garden pruners and loppers for the rest of your kit.
