About Ray’s Small Engine Repair & Lawn Care

Everything starts with a sharp blade. Before the route, in the shop, Ray's Small Engine Repair & Lawn Care sees to the machines themselves — carburetors, pull cords, belts, blades ground back to an edge — then takes that same equipment out into Anderson yards for mowing, trimming and edging. Spring in the Upstate arrives in a haze of yellow pine pollen and everything grows at once; a mower that starts on the first pull is the difference between a route finished and a route abandoned. A dull blade tears the grass and leaves the tips browning by Wednesday, while a keen one leaves it standing up clean and holding its color. That is a plain kind of pride: tools kept right, and lawns cut right because of it.
