As the seasons change and your lawn begins to awaken, the quest for the perfect lawn care solution begins. For many homeowners and gardening enthusiasts, this quest leads to a common dilemma: Should I buy or rent a Weed eater? At Louies Ace, we understand the intricacies of lawn maintenance, and we're here to explore the substantial benefits of opting for weed eater rentals this season.
The initial cost of purchasing a weed eater can be significant, especially for top-of-the-line models. Renting a weed eater offers a cost-effective alternative, eliminating the hefty upfront investment. For those who don't require frequent use—perhaps only needing it for seasonal touch-ups—rentals can provide substantial savings. Not to mention, you'll save on the costs associated with storing and transporting the equipment, a boon for those with limited space.
Owning a weed eater comes with its set of responsibilities, including regular maintenance and finding a place to store it. By choosing to rent, you sidestep these hassles entirely. Louies Ace ensures that all rented equipment is in top condition, meaning you can focus on your lawn, not on keeping everything in working order. This convenience is especially appealing for those who prefer a clutter-free garage and a maintenance-free lawn care experience.
The world of lawn care equipment is constantly evolving, with new models boasting improved efficiencies and features. Through renting, you have the opportunity to use the latest weed eaters without committing to a purchase. This not only allows you to enjoy the benefits of modern technology but also ensures you're using the most effective tool for the job, ultimately enhancing your lawn care routine.
No two lawns are the same, and sometimes, a particular task may require a specific type of weed eater. Whether it's a larger weed eater for vast expanses or a specialized model for intricate landscaping, renting offers the flexibility to select the most suitable weed eater for your needs. This adaptability ensures optimal care for your lawn, regardless of its size or complexity.
As you contemplate the best approach to lawn maintenance this season, consider the advantages of weed eater rentals from Louies Ace. With cost savings, no maintenance or storage worries, access to the latest models, and the ability to choose the ideal equipment for your lawn, renting is a practical solution for many homeowners and gardening enthusiasts.
As winter wanes and the first signs of spring emerge, it's the perfect time to start thinking about your garden. Late winter offers an ideal opportunity for planting trees and shrubs, setting the stage for a lush landscape. Louie's Ace Home Center is here to guide you through this process with practical tips and expert advice.
Late winter, just before the spring thaw, is a prime time for gardeners to plant. This season is particularly suitable for dormant bare-root plants like roses and fruit trees. They establish roots in cooler temperatures and burst into life as the weather warms. However, it's crucial to be selective with species; evergreens, for instance, may struggle to establish roots in winter's tail end. Prioritize species that thrive in your region's climate for the best results.
Proper soil preparation is key. Ensure your soil is well-aerated and well-drained before planting. While it might be tempting, avoid over-amending the soil. A moderate amount of compost and bone meal can enrich the soil without overwhelming your new plants. When digging the planting hole, keep it no deeper than the root ball and twice as wide. This provides ample space for roots to grow without being constricted.
When planting, gently place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground. For compacted soil, loosening it can facilitate better root growth. Be mindful not to plant too deep, as this can stress the plant and hinder its growth. Remember, the initial care you take in planting can dictate the future health of your trees and shrubs.
After planting, regular watering is essential, especially when the soil below the mulch and in the root ball feels dry. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature. However, be cautious not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot and other issues. Consistent care in these early stages will pay off with robust growth in the spring and summer months.
As you plan your late winter planting, remember that a little preparation goes a long way. Visit Louie's Ace Home Center for all your gardening needs, from quality soil and mulch to a wide selection of trees and shrubs suitable for your area. Embrace this season of renewal and transform your garden into a vibrant, flourishing space.
In a landscape cluttered with gas-powered snow blowers that often bring with them a fair share of fuss and environmental concerns, the EGO Power+ Power SNT2405 stands as a shining beacon of innovation and efficiency. Not only does it promise to give its gas-powered counterparts a run for their money, but it also redefines what users can expect from an electric snow blower.
When it comes to clearing snow, we've often been subjected to choices that are loud, messy, and not particularly eco-friendly. The EGO Power+ SNT2405 challenges this paradigm by offering performance that exceeds even gas-powered alternatives. The key to this superior capability lies in its Peak Power technology, utilizing two EGO 56V ARC Lithium batteries to handle the harshest of snow conditions. Simply put, this snow blower doesn’t just clear snow—it owns it.
Where many electric snow blowers fall short is in their inability to manage deeper layers of snow. The EGO Power+ is a standout in this regard with a 24-inch clearing width and a 20-inch intake height. This machine isn't just for light dustings; it's built for winters that don't play nice.
Moreover, this isn't a machine that will call it quits midway through the job. It can clear an 18-car driveway blanketed with 8 inches of snow all on a single charge, thanks to the powerhouse that is the dual 7.5Ah batteries. That’s right, this is an electric snow blower with endurance to boot.
While raw power is crucial, ease of use is equally important. With variable-speed self-propulsion and an additional reverse gear, you can maneuver this machine with a level of control that many other models simply can't offer. The variable auger speed lets you decide the snow throwing distance, effectively allowing you to customize your snow removal experience.
Let's not overlook the LED lights. These four beacons of brightness ensure that you can operate the snow blower at any time, day or night, without compromising on visibility.
Robustness in design rounds out the EGO Power+ offering. Composed of heavy-duty steel and composite materials, this snow blower promises to withstand the trials of many winters to come. It's not just a tool for a season; it’s an investment for several years.
The EGO Power+ Power SNT2405 24 in. Two-Stage 56 V Battery Snow Blower Kit isn't just another entrant in the world of snow blowers. It's a technological leap forward. It effectively balances incredible power and user-friendly features, all backed by a 5-year warranty. It doesn’t just make the task of snow removal easier; it turns it into something approaching a pleasure.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or considering a switch from a gas-powered model, the EGO Power+ Power SNT2405, available at Louie's Ace, provides a compelling case for why electric is the future of snow removal.
Disclaimer: Before committing to any purchase, it's advisable to personally test equipment and ensure its suitability for your specific needs and environmental conditions.
Available now at Louie’s Ace, this model doesn't just promise change; it delivers it. If you've been on the fence about the transition to electric snow blowers, this could very well be the push you need. So why wait? Make your winters not just bearable but downright manageable with the EGO Power+ SNT2405.

If you’re a newbie to lawn fertilizer, then the numbers listed on the bag may seem like a foreign language when heading down an aisle of gardening supplies. These three numbers are known as fertilizer ratios, and by understanding what each number means, you can improve the appearance and longevity of your lawn.
Fertilizer is great for helping strengthen roots and promote new growth year round. Taking care of your lawn is important because the grasses commonly used can purify air and improve overall air quality, in addition to the fact that a nicely manicured lawn is aesthetically pleasing. Grasses are great at absorbing rainfall, preventing erosion, and purifies water for aquifers in the area.
Each of the three numbers listed on the front of the bag of fertilizer represents nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Together they are known as NPK ratios, and are indicated using their element symbols that you may remember from chemistry class. All three are essential elements in gardening products for growing a beautiful lawn.
Each one serves a different purpose in ensuring your grass grows green.
NPK ratios apply to all types of fertilizer, but there are certain specifications to follow for lawns and all of the different conditions the lawn may be in.
Our gardening experts suggest fertilizer should be put on your lawn two to four times a year. Resistance from pests, protection for the soil, and preventing pesky weeds are just some of the perks when taking care of your lawn with fertilizer from ACE Hardware.

The first snowflakes of the year have fallen and, if you haven’t begun winterizing your sprinkler system, you need to. Split or ruptured pipes can cost you hundreds if not thousands of dollars to repair.
We have put together some easy, step-by-step instructions on how you can winterize your sprinkler system yourself. We recommend the same technique used in the northeast, the blow out method, for winterizing a sprinkler system.
This method gets all the water out of the lines and is an easy and effective way to winterize. You can get all the parts for this do-it-yourself project at Louie’s ACE Home Center.
Use an air compressor with an 80 to 100 cubic foot per minute (CFM) rating. Make sure the sprinkler system you want to winterize has a mainline for water of 2-inches or less. You can purchase an air compressor, or rent one from our ACE hardware rentals. We have all the hook ups as well.
Locate the air hose connections. Make sure you use a connection located after the PVB back flow preventer. In the Fallon area, homes built in the last 15-20 years have a back-flow preventer on the sprinkler system. If you don’t have one, crack the pipe and the sprinkler valve and connect the air hose there to assist you in winterizing the sprinkler system.
You can make your own attachment (a jig) and connect it to your irrigation system. We can help you locate the parts and make it. Jigs are made with a washing machine hose, cut to 18 inches, a quick coupling, and a threaded to bared connector to combine the coupling and the hose. Screw it into the existing hose bib.
Trace the pipe back or locate the main water meter for your house. Make sure no new water can flow into the lines.
Most systems have a drain plug or sill cock drain. Open the valve and drain it into a bucket. Allow the pipe to drain completely. Go outside and close the back-flow isolation valves. Open and drain the test cocks on the PVB.
Keep the valves closed and attach the air compressor hose to the fitting. DO NOT run a compressor with an open valve. It can lead to a damaged zone valve gate.
Start with the zone which is highest in elevation and furthest from the compressor and turn it on. Blow out each zone for two minutes. Do this until no water can be seen coming out of the heads. Repeat the process until it is dry.
Disconnect the air compressor and release any air pressure from the lines. Open and drain all test cocks on the PVB to make sure no water is left inside.
You do this to ensure any trapped water is gone from the upper areas of your system. Turn and leave these valves at a 45-degree angle to complete winterizing your sprinkler system.
If you rented the compressor from our ACE hardware rentals, don’t forget to return it in a timely manner so someone else can use it to winterize their sprinkler system. Happy winterizing!
Imagine spring cookouts, breezy air, and a lush, green lawn to enjoy it all on. In Fallon, Nevada, keeping a nice lawn can take a lot of work.

Luckily, at Louie's Ace Hardware, we have all of the lawn care hardware rentals that you need to have the yard that you've been dreaming of.
After the long winter, thatch can build up and prevent your grass from looking its best.

At Louie's Ace Hardware, we carry all the lawn care hardware rentals you need to remove thatch and restore your lawn to its prime.
It's that time of the year again! Time to aerate your lawn to allow air, water, and nutrients to get to get to the grass roots. If you're lawn is looking dead and colorless, this is a great way to alleviate soil compaction. In dryer climates like Nevada, aerating can save your lawn. Stop by our hardware rentals department for all the equipment you need to get your lawn looking in tip-top shape!
Weeding or digging a garden by hand can be tedious and time consuming. That's where a rototiller comes in hand. These handy tools can make gardening a breeze. We carry them as a rental item, so that you can have the added convenience without the pressure to store them throughout the year.
A lawn roller can be great for erasing damage caused to your lawn throughout the winter. You can flatten ant and mole hills quickly, and make your lawn look flawless.

When it comes to lawn mowers, there are a surprisingly large number of options available. Mowing the lawn can be a pain, so when it comes to choosing your tool it is important to choose the one that can help you tackle your yard the best.
Electric and gas mowers each have their own benefits that largely depend upon the type of yard you have, your personal choices, costs, and the level of maintenance you’re willing to take on.
When you think of lawn mowers, it’s likely that a gas mower is what first comes to mind. These mowers provide the power needed to easily tackle tough grass and mow larger areas without troublesome cords or having to re-charge a battery. A little gas can go a long way! Gas mowers also can be more durable and long lasting in comparison to some electric models.
If you’re looking to be environmentally friendly, a gas powered mower is not the top option as it emits carbon monoxide and dioxide into the atmosphere. They also tend to be much noisier than electric mowers. Due to the additional mechanisms and pieces, gas mowers tend to be heavier as well.
A popular alternative to gas lawn mowers, electric mowers a great option for those looking to avoid some of the downsides to using a gas powered tool. Not only are electric mowers quieter, you also avoid the frustrating pull-to-start process of turning on a gas mower. Electric mowers also don’t require sparkplugs or fuel filters eliminating the additional accessories needed with gas powered mowers. While they can be pricey up-front, electric mowers also can become cost effective over time.
Despite these benefits, electric mowers are not the best option if you have a large area to cover because they either come with cords or rechargeable batteries that last for only about an hour. They also can be dangerous when used in wet conditions as the electrical components can cause electrocution if they come into contact with water. An electric lawnmower isn’t the best choice for lawns with tough grasses or for someone who may wait for their lawn to look like a jungle before taking out the mower.
