How do I know when it's time to get my pruning shears professionally sharpened?

If your pruning shears are crushing stems instead of slicing cleanly, require more effort to cut, or have visible nicks on the blades, it's a good sign they need professional sharpening. Regular sharpening helps keep your cuts clean and promotes healthier plant growth.

Why should I choose Sharpening Services Somerset instead of sharpening my pruning shears at home?

While DIY sharpening kits exist, professional sharpening from Sharpening Services Somerset restores your pruning shears to factory-sharp condition. Our expert service includes precise blade sharpening, alignment adjustment, cleaning, and lubrication, ensuring smoother cuts, improved safety, and longer tool life that’s hard to achieve at home.

What does the pruning shear sharpening service include, and how long does it take?

Our service sharpens the blades to a razor edge, adjusts blade alignment, thoroughly cleans, and lubricates your pruning shears for optimal performance. Typically, the process takes just a few days, ensuring your tools are returned in top shape for your next gardening session.

How does sharpening my pruning shears improve my gardening results?

Sharp pruning shears make clean, precise cuts that reduce damage to plants' stems, helping them heal faster and stay healthier. Less effort is also required when cutting, which reduces hand fatigue and makes gardening more enjoyable overall.

Can regular sharpening really extend the life of my pruning shears? How often should I have them sharpened?

Absolutely! Regular sharpening prevents the blades from becoming dull and chipped, which can otherwise lead to tool damage. We recommend sharpening your pruning shears at least once a year or whenever you notice decreased cutting performance, ensuring they stay effective and durable for years to come.
