How High Should You Set Your Mower Deck?
 
As spring approaches (trust me, it’s right around the corner), it’s time to stop thinking about shoveling snow, and start thinking about mowing the lawn.

For those of us who grew up in the snow belt, shoveling the white stuff is nothing new, and certainly nothing we think too much about before we start. After all, it’s just shoveling, right?
 
Well, maybe not. According to an article from WebMD, more than 11,000 people go to the hospital every year due to snow shoveling injuries. Most of these injuries were strained muscles and pulled backs, but more than a few were very serious - sometimes deadly - heart-related issues.  ALWAYS consult a physician before performing any strenuous activity, such as snow removal.
 
With that in mind, it’s extremely important to take the proper steps to ensure that you’re shoveling safely. Read on to learn how to clear your driveway and sidewalk safely.
