Warren, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/04/2017 -- Winter Watering: Lawns can be affected by winter desiccation; this occurs when snow cover is not maintained during the winter and most commonly in heavy clay, compacted soils. Winter watering can minimize the effects of dry conditions. Check the forecast, water only when the soil is not frozen and air temperatures are above 40 degrees F. Do not water before a sudden temperature drop is forecasted since this can cause plants or the lawn to die. Apply water at mid-day so it can percolate down into the soil before colder nighttime temperatures and potential freezing. Try to moisten the top 6 inches of soil for turf grasses, and 12 inches for watering trees and shrubs. Do not use root feeders or other deep root watering devices in the winter. Water slowly so it can soak in rather than run off or freeze. If dry conditions persist, one or two careful irrigations per month may be needed.

Post-Winter Tips: Now that the frozen ground has thawed it is common to see patches of brown or bare spots on the lawn. Grass seed can be applied in March, or when the soil begins to warm (depending on the climate). Keep in mind there are many types of grass seed to choose from; quick germination, sun, shade and even play areas. Crabgrass control can be used until the end of April or when the soil temperatures reach 70 to 80 degrees. There are also types of grass; cool season grasses and warm season grasses. Knowing which type of grass is present and the optimal time to apply certain products can make a big difference when grass seed is spread and fertilizer or weed control products are needed. Weed killers need to be applied while the weeds are in active growth, and can be applied up until the time they quit growing in the fall. Keep in mind, pre-emergent weed control products will also stop grass seeds from germinating so doing both will not help your lawn.

Cool season grasses include fescue, bluegrass and rye. They have two growth spurts; a moderate one in the spring and a big one in the fall. They go dormant or struggle in the hot summer heat so with these grasses it is important to build up their strength for the summer months. Fertilizing is a good idea for spring but don't pile it on! The new growth will only be hurt by the summer heat if you pile on the fertilizer too heavy. A broadcast spreader mounted on a mower or utility vehicle can spread almost any type of granular or pelletized seed, fertilizer and even ice melting pellets making this task much easier to accomplish. A broadcast spreader can also help control the amount of product being spread.

Warm season grasses include Zoysia, St. Augustine, Centipede and Bermuda. These grasses thrive in the heat and hate the cold. Warm season grasses start growing after the last frost and peak mid-summer in the heat. Warm season grasses thrive in the summer, so planting grass seed in late spring when the temperature is reaching almost 70 degrees is a good idea. Fertilizing and weed control are best done at this time too, but choose which one is necessary at that time since pre-emergent weed control also stops grass seed germination!

Having the right equipment for the job can save time, energy and money. Do-Cut carries many types of mowers, chainsaws, trimmers and blowers to choose from, as well as broadcast spreaders, aerators, dethatchers, sprayers and debris cleanup equipment. Stop by a local Do-Cut store and knowledgeable and friendly staff members can help make any lawn green and lush again.

Warren, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/01/2017 -- Whether the homeowner is a first-time buyer or a seasoned snow thrower owner in need of replacement unit, it is important to understand the equipment options available. Secondly, although there are a multitude of options, more is not always best.

Single Stage Snow Throwers

Single stage snow throwers are designed for users who only need to tackle a moderate amount of snowfall. These snow throwers are named for their single rotor which throws the snow in one motion, usually through a chute. They are best for small areas, such as average-size driveways and sidewalks.

- DURABILITY: Look for steel side panels, sturdy wheels and a protective rear engine guard

- MANEUVERABILITY: Look for good balance, ergonomics, and easy storage features

- PERFORMANCE: The power supplied by the engine and the throwing distance. The unit must be able to moves snow from a driveway and into the yard so it does not have to be moved twice.

- EASY TO SERVICE: Make sure parts are available and affordable. Check to see if service points such as spark plugs, carburetor and oil drain are accessible.

- AUGER DESIGN: Ask if the auger is capable of efficiently moving snow and if it can clean thoroughly down to the pavement.

Two-Stage Snow Throwers

Two-stage snow throwers are better for heavy snowfalls (greater than 8"), large areas and hard, icy snows. Two-stage throwers are self-propelled and utilize a metal auger and rotor system that can eat up a large volume of snow in a relatively short period of time.

- DURABILITY: Look for metal construction, serrated augers, cast iron gear case, and a large diameter axle shaft with bushings. A well-built drive system.

- MANEUVERABILITY: Look for good balance, a discharge chute that is easy to aim. Check to see if the unit has power steering, and if not, check to see if the machine s nicely without it. Lastly, inquire if the unit has a sufficient number of ground speeds.

- PERFORMANCE: Make sure the snow thrower has enough "guts" for the job and to propel itself. It's not uncommon for a high performance machine to throw snow up to 45 feet.

- MAINTENANCE: Dual belt-drive systems can help sustain maximum load without slippage at lower temps, making it maintenance free with no adjustments required. Gear cases should be sealed and durable enough for even the worst conditions

Warren, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/29/2016 -- Power can go out anytime. When auxiliary power is available it prevents loss from occurring whether it occurs in a home or office.

There are a multitude of options when it comes to generators. Some generators run bare minimum requirements while other generators are capable of running an entire house or office building!

Home generators are divided into two basic types; choosing which is best comes down to overall electrical requirements, available fuel sources and budget.

A transfer switch should be considered to safely use backup power in a home. A transfer switch is installed near the breaker box and provides a safe way to connect and use a generator with selected circuits inside a home or building. It is essential to prevent power from energizing lines outside where power company workers might be performing service. A transfer switch completely isolates the generator's power to selected circuits - circuits to a HVAC unit, freezer, refrigerator, lights and maybe a television for example. A homeowner must to be home when the power goes out to "transfer" the power from the line to the generator. A generator is simply plugged into a special plug on the outside of the home and then the transfer switch is turned on!

Permanent back-up generators by Generac are also available for special order. These are powered by natural gas or propane, and should be installed by a professional plumber and electrician. Automatic transfer switches are an added convenience and will activate even if someone is not present at the time of an outage. When the lights go out, they come right back on. Intelligently designed transfer switches can even manage electricity and allow occupants to alternate and choose which circuits receive power in order to save fuel or make the best use of available wattage

Stop in to either Do-Cut location in Warren or Boardman Ohio for information on back-up power. Don't be left in the dark!

Warren, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/31/2016 -- When leaves begin to fall and twigs are scattered across the yard, it's time for a fall cleanup. Chainsaws and blowers are great assets to have on hand to make fall cleanup easier and faster.

Chainsaws can be used to cleanup fallen trees resulting from an autumn storm. They can also be used to prepare wood for an upcoming camping trip or for warm fires during the winter months. Chainsaws can be used to trim tree limbs or for the complete above-ground removal of a tree. It is essential to wear proper safety gear and to be aware of the surroundings before starting a chainsaw and during use.

Blower equipment is also essential during the autumn season. Blowers take much of the hard labor out of cleanup and are very versatile pieces of equipment. There are a variety of blowers to fit any comfort level; handheld, backpack and walk behind. Electric and gas powered blowers options are vast; from weight, engine type and capabilities. Prior to selecting a blower or chainsaw, it is important to consider the overall landscape that has to be maintained, the manner in which the blower will be used and the user's physical capabilities.

Handheld and backpack blowers are most commonly used for leaf cleanup. They are also great for clearing beneath bushes, shrubs and other hard to reach areas. Gutter kits can be purchased for some models to help with the daunting task of cleaning out gutters. Blowers can also be used to blow grass clippings off of driveways and walkways as well as creating that neat and polished look. Interestingly, consider using a blower to speed up the drying time and reduce water spots from occurring on washed motorcycles or other vehicles. Remove a clothes dryer vent tube and blow out excess lint for a more efficient and safe dryer. A walk behind blower is great for drying a freshly scrubbed garage floor or porch. A gas powered blower has enough power to blow snow away from walkways, doors and basement window wells. The warm air flow will also help melt snow.

Warren, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/23/2016 -- Following these basic tips for lawn care maintenance can save a lawn from disaster and homeowners extra expense. When rainfall is not in the forecast and dry conditions seem to be the norm, homeowners begin to wonder how to ensure their lawns can stay esthetically pleasing and healthy. Following these basic steps can help keep the brown grass at bay and enable green grass to return.

During the lawn cutting season it is important to monitor grass height. Leaving the grass blades slightly taller will help provide shade for the soil and roots and retain more moisture as a result. A good rule to follow is to never remove more than 1/3rd of the grass blade when mowing.

Sharpen blades regularly. Cutting grass with a dull blade actually tears at the grass leaving a jagged grass blade. This invites organisms to take up residence in the grass. Typically, a sharpened blade can last for 10 hours of mowing. Consider owning a second blade as back up option so when the original blade approaches the 10 hour mark, a new sharpened blade is nearby.

Let clippings lie. When grass is cut at the correct height, it is perfectly fine to leave the grass clippings where they are. Less work! They can recycle themselves into the soil and will save homeowners money and time on spreading fertilizer. If the grass is overgrown, leaving the clippings is not recommended. Leaving clippings on an overgrown lawn will block sunlight, moisture and nutrients and cause a lot of damage. Clumps of clippings or a large amount of cut grass should be removed promptly after mowing.

Warren, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/12/2016 -- Cold weather residents long for green grass, blooming trees and the beautiful outdoor spaces the spring season delivers. Green spaces are fundamental components for health. Studies have shown that people who spend more time outside, or who are exposed to living landscapes are happier, healthier and smarter. Those who have access to nature and managed landscapes are less stressed.

Digging in the dirt is actually beneficial for health too! Digging in the dirt stimulates serotonin production in the brain. Serotonin is the happy brain chemical; more serotonin delivers more feelings of happiness and relaxation. It has been shown that cognitive ability in children and adults actually increases when exposed to nature. Furthermore, exposure to natural settings reduces ADHD symptoms in some children. Being active in natural surroundings helps with concentration, improves attention span by as much as 20 percent and, aids in healing.

Power Equipment Warehouse has all the products necessary to keep your natural spaces in tip top shape. Visit Power Equipment Warehouse online today at http://www.powerequipmentwarehouse.com.

Warren, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/28/2016 -- Spring has finally sprung, but after a long winter the snow pack has likely left lawns a matted mess. The first step to a healthy, lush green lawn is to aerate. Consider hiring a professional to dethatch or aerated since they have the proper equipment and know-how.

Dethatching, or "combing" a lawn with a tine rake dethatcher will help raise the grass blades, and scrape the earth. This process of removing thatch build-up allows water, air and nutrients to soak into the soil.

The root system of most yards is very shallow. Aerating in the spring and fall is one of the best things that can be done for a healthy yard. Core aeration actually pulls a "plug" of earth out of the lawn, allowing for a stronger, deeper root structure. Water, air and nutrients can penetrate into the root system which allows a lawn to become more disease resistant, and better able to weather Mother Nature's wrath during hot and dry summer days.

Dethatching and aeration can be performed by professional landscapers or homeowners. Many local professional landscapers and equipment rental houses carry turf management equipment. Look for quality brands like Ryan, Bluebird or Classen. Do-Cut Sales & Service, http://www.docut.com has all of the information on these brands, in addition to turf management topics and instruction.

Remember, purchasing of any machine requires regular maintenance. Do-Cut has fully stocked parts departments, certified mechanics and technicians at both locations in Warren and Boardman, Ohio. Do-Cut is also a proud supporter of community events and schools in the Mahoning Valley.

Warren, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/01/2016 -- Do-Cut Sales & Service, Inc. can recommend the right equipment for any yard! Remember these helpful hints when shopping for new outdoor power equipment:

1. Be sure to have ample inside storage for the new equipment

2. Is a walk-behind, tractor or zero turn lawn mower the best option?

a. Walk Behind - Consider an electric start if health issues prohibit the user from pulling the rope. Electric start lawn mowers are reasonably priced and simple to use.

b. Tractor or Zero Turn – What size mower deck? Check out the landscape and terrain for tight mowing areas or obstacles to maneuver around.

3. Is bagging, mulching or discharging yard debris best?

a. Bagging – Must debris be place curbside along with garbage?

b. Mulching – Remember, never cut more than 1/3 of the growth, keep the deck clean and blade VERY sharp

c. Discharging – No longer too common because of so many mulching options, but if discharging is selected, be sure the grass isn't too high to minimize the accumulation of dead grass on the lawn.

4. Handheld Equipment

a. Trimmers – Trimming around fixed objects or out in the open? Is there a long reach into ditches or around water?

b. Blowers – Handheld or backpack? Need a gutter kit for those hard to reach areas?

c. Chainsaws – How much wood will be cut? How often will a chainsaw be used?

5. Generators

a. Is the generator for recreation or household back up power? Does medical equipment or computer equipment requires clean, uninterrupted power? How much wattage is needed? There is surge wattage and running wattage – Do-Cut Sales & Service will explain the options.

Remember, equipment requires maintenance. Big box stores aren't interested in taking care of the customer after the sale, but Do-Cut Sales & Service and other local dealers are.

Warren, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2016 -- The winter of 2106 isn't setting any records yet, but one heavy snowfall can damage valuable trees and shrubs. Here are some tips to keep landscapes safe throughout the winter months:

1. If snow is heavily packed around trees and shrubs do not remove it – it is best to let the snow melt rather than to try to dig out the plants.

2. If broken limbs on shrubs, bushes and trees are present make clean cuts as soon as possible; this makes it harder for insects and disease to attack the already stressed foliage.

3. Remove fallen debris and limbs from healthy plants – this will also keep disease and insects away.

4. If salt or ice melt has been applied, flush the base of the plants with plenty of water. Salt draws water away from the roots of trees and grass – Evergreen trees are especially sensitive to salt so when weather and temperature is favorable, flush the roots with water.

5. Late winter is the best time to prune and shape ornamental trees and roses.

Warren, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/30/2015 -- Northeast Ohio natives are accustomed to dealing with falling leaves and branches, however gusty winds, ice and snow accumulation can cause trees to fall. Hazardous conditions result and homeowners are saddled with inconvenience, property damage and cost.

Much of the cost and inconvenience associated with downed trees can be mitigated by owning a chainsaw, especially during extreme weather events such as tornadoes, heavy thunderstorms or wet snow storms. Hundreds if not thousands of homeowners may simultaneously have downed trees resulting in long delays waiting for help.

The single most important piece of equipment for these situations is a chainsaw. Chainsaws are critical for removing branches from overhead wires, or for trimming branches to avoid property damage. It is also commonplace to see fallen trees smash cars, block driveways and streets; a chainsaw is the only solution.

The chainsaw experts at Do-Cut Sales & Service, Inc. know chainsaws. According to Lisa Miller, Manager at Do-Cut, "Chainsaws are worth every penny spent. It is important to purchase a chainsaw early in the season because they simply sell out quickly."

The Do-Cut experts recommend assessing features like comfortable power-to-weight ratios, anti-vibration, ease of starting, chain brakes for safety, and quick chain adjusters. It is also very important to use safety gear each and every time a chainsaw is used. Goggles, safety helmets, chainsaw chapps are a must!

Don’t wait until the leaves pile up to discover a leaf blower is not working

Warren, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/01/2015 -- According to the outdoor power equipment experts at Do-Cut Sales & Service, now is the perfect time to check the health and safety of fall outdoor power equipment. It's advisable to size up the yard and assess how to dispose of leaves. Can the leaves be blown into the woods or a ravine, or must they be bagged and placed curbside? The answer will help determine the type of equipment needed to handle the task.

Remember, hand held blowers aren't just for leaves; they can be used to blow debris from a deck or patio, to clean gutters, air dry a vehicle after washing, blow out the garage or pick-up truck bed. Any outside area that can be cleaned with a broom is suitable for a hand held blower, plus it can be handled in a fraction of the time.

It can be cumbersome to tackle a large yard with a hand held blowers, so it is advisable to consider a backpack or wheeled blower instead. Backpack blowers range in size and vary in weight but are typically quite comfortable to operate, and they produce a high velocity air stream.

Air volume is a key factor when deciding on a leaf blower. MPH isn't the only thing to look at – check the cubic feet per minute (CFM). Most blowers MPH ratings are similar, between 150 to 200 mph, but wheeled blowers have an almost 50% higher CFM rating than hand held and back pack blowers. 900 CFM is typical for a high end backpack blower, vs 1400 – 2000 CFM for wheeled blowers.

Walk behind blowers produce a wind stream that is in line with the ground and close to the base of the leaf pile. This makes efficient use of the high air volume by reducing the deflection of air off the ground. In contrast, backpack blowers produce a wind stream at high angles since they are held above the ground. Some manufacturers like Little Wonder, offer a feature that splits the air stream into two levels, one to blow the leaves in a straight line and another higher stream to tame the leaves lifted into the air so they remain near the pile.

When choosing blowers, buyers should be aware not all manufacturers will list CFM ratings for wheeled units, since there is no ANSI standard for them as with handhelds and backpacks, and therefore no requirement to do so.

The best brands in the industry for tackling tough debris jobs are Stihl, Husqvarna, Little Wonder and Troy-Bilt. Do-Cut Sales & Services carries them all and they are all in stock now!
