Manitoba inventor Robert Sitarz has developed The Lawnmower Fender, a game-changing attachment that protects plants while mowing. This simple device lifts stems and branches, enabling a cleaner cut in one pass – eliminating tedious trimming. Ideal for both professionals and homeowners, it boosts efficiency, reduces damage, and increases customer satisfaction. Born from a family’s garden solution, this innovation is transforming lawn care practices.
New Attachment Promises Efficiency for Professionals and Homeowners
A new invention called The Lawnmower Fender is making waves in lawn care by preventing damage to plants while mowing. Designed by Robert Sitarz of Oakbank, Manitoba, Canada, the attachment easily mounts on most walk-behind, ride-on, stand-on, or zero-turn mowers.
How It Works
Sitarz describes the device as functioning like “a cattle guard for plants,” gently lifting stems and branches out of the mower’s path. This allows for a clean cut in a single pass, eliminating the need for follow-up trimming. “It’s like having an extra hand guiding the mower,” he explains.
Benefits for Lawn Care Businesses
The invention aims to boost efficiency for landscaping companies by reducing service time, improving employee productivity, and increasing customer satisfaction. “Happy customers are the best advertisement,” Sitarz says, emphasizing how the tool can minimize callbacks.
A Family Invention with Practical Roots
Originally crafted by Sitarz’s father years ago, the fender was born out of necessity—protecting his mother’s garden from enthusiastic children rushing to play. Now, Sitarz, a pharmacist by profession, has refined the design and showcased it through a dedicated website featuring photos and videos.
“This isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a whole new approach to lawn care,” Sitarz says, confident that both professionals and homeowners will appreciate the innovation.
