Why Winter Is the Perfect Time to Service Your Garden Machinery
When the mowing, trimming, and tidying start to slow down, it’s tempting to park up your garden machinery and forget about it until spring. But winter is actually the best time to give your equipment the care it needs — so it’s ready to go the moment the weather warms up again.
At Devon Garden Machinery (DGM), we’re here to make sure your machines are in top condition for spring 2026 — whether it’s a mower, tractor, strimmer, or blower.
1. Beat the Spring Rush
Come March and April, workshops across the South West are packed with last-minute servicing jobs. Getting your machine booked in during winter means no waiting around, and your equipment will be ready when you need it most.
2. Prevent Problems Before They Start
Sitting unused through the colder months can cause fuel, oil, and moisture issues — especially in petrol-powered machines. A professional winter service helps prevent rust, stale fuel problems, and costly repairs later on.
3. Extend the Life of Your Machinery
Regular servicing keeps your machine performing at its best. Cleaning, replacing worn parts, sharpening blades, and oiling moving components all help extend the life and reliability of your equipment — protecting your investment.
4. Ready to Go for Spring
There’s nothing worse than a sunny day in March and a mower that won’t start. Servicing now means your equipment will be fully tested, tuned, and ready to run when the grass starts growing again.
5. Local, Family-Run, and Here to Help
At DGM, we’re proud to be your local, family-run business — trusted by homeowners, estates, and professionals across Devon and the South West. Our workshop team services everything from Honda and Husqvarna to Yamaha, Iseki, and Toro, using genuine parts and years of hands-on experience.
