Garden tool sharpening
Yard work goes faster with a real edge.
Dull garden tools crush stems, tear bark and make you work twice as hard for a ragged cut.
Each tool gets an inspection, bevel correction where it is needed and a clean, durable finish.
Gulf Coast gardens grow nearly year-round, so pruners and shears get a lot of use between sharpenings.
Homeowners, landscaping crews and tradespeople bring everything from bypass pruners to chisels.
On the bench
Tools we sharpen.
Not sure about yours? Call or text (251) 468-0254 and ask.
Pruners and snips
Bypass and anvil pruners for roses, shrubs and fruit trees.
Loppers
Long-handled loppers for thicker branches that dull blades crush.
Hedge shears
Manual hedge shears that close cleanly along the whole blade.
Hoes and shovels
An edge on a hoe or spade cuts roots and sod instead of bouncing off.
Chisels and hand tools
Wood chisels and workshop hand tools, set back to a square, keen edge.
Hedge trimmers and saws
Trimmer blades and pruning saws. Call to check your model first.
How it is done
Every edge, coarse to polished.
The same careful steps on a paring knife or a mower blade. Coarse to fine, every time.
Look it over
Every blade is checked first for chips, broken tips, rolled edges and its factory angle.
Set the angle
The bevel is corrected only where it needs it, so the blade keeps its shape.
Sharpen
A controlled grind brings back a clean, even edge without overheating the steel.
Polish
The edge is refined and polished so it cuts smoothly and holds up longer.
Test and return
Each edge is checked by hand before it goes back. Not happy? The job is free.

Fishing knives, done while he waited
Called Eric and he told me to come on over. Sharpened my six fishing knives while I waited. Took maybe 15 minutes max. To say they are razor sharp would be an understatement. Plus…he is a very nice and personable guy. Highly recommend.
Kitchen and serrated knives
Great service and incredibly fast! Even sharpened my serrated knife for me. Couldn't have asked for a higher quality job on my kitchen knives. The whole process was simple, easy, and I'll be going back when I need them done again.
Benchmade and fillet knives
Eric with Sharpening Services of Alabama was top rate. My benchmade pocket knife and several filet knives are now razor sharp and finished in a very timely manner. Definitely recommend his services and I will be using him again.
Knives sharpened on the spot
Eric was prompt to respond and sharpened my knives on the spot!!!! He was a wealth of knowledge as I had many questions!!!! Can’t wait to chop some onions with my razor sharp benchmade. Thanks Eric

Which garden tools can you sharpen?
Pruners, loppers, hedge shears, hoes, shovels, chisels and most hand tools. Call to check anything unusual.
Should I clean my tools before dropping them off?
A quick wipe of dirt and sap helps. We take care of the edge and look over the rest.
How often should pruners be sharpened?
Once or twice a season for most yards. If stems crush or tear instead of snapping clean, it is time.
Can you sharpen tools for a landscaping crew?
Yes. Landscaping pros bring tools in batches. Call ahead so we can plan the turnaround.
Ready when you are
Bring it in dull. Take it home sharp.
