The Garden City's small-engine shop

Named after the city. Built for its seasons.

St. Catharines has been called the Garden City for over a century — and every garden here comes with a mower, a trimmer, and a snowblower in the garage for when the lake weather turns. Garden City Lawn & Leisure keeps all of it running from the shop at 1 Spring St.

Machines on the floor, a real parts counter behind it, and mechanics in the back. Bring in the model and serial number, and if the part exists, it can be ordered.

Sales

New equipment on the showroom floor — snowblowers, mowers, generators, tillers and trimmers.

Parts

Wheels, belts, blades, paddles and cables — in stock or special-ordered, even for older machines.

Service

Spring tune-ups, winter rebuilds and repairs — you get a call with the quote before the wrenches come out.

What we do

Every machine in your garage, covered.

The first snowfall books the next three weeks. September doesn't.

Questions

Before you haul it in.

When should I book snowblower service?

September and October. After the first real snowfall the bench fills up for weeks, and you'll be shovelling while you wait. Fall service means it starts the morning you actually need it.

Do you sell new equipment?

Yes — snowblowers, mowers, generators, tillers and trimmers on the showroom floor, and we service what we sell for years afterwards.

Can you get parts for an older machine?

That's the specialty of the parts counter. Bring the model and serial number (a photo of the plate works) and if the part is still made, it can be special-ordered.

Do you install trailer hitches?

Yes — hitches and wiring, installed properly and priced fairly. Local trailer dealers refer their customers here.

What should I bring for a repair?

The machine, the model and serial number, and a description of what it's doing (or not doing). You'll get a call with the diagnosis and quote before any work starts.

Winter is booked by the people who came in September.

Beat the first-snow rush — the bench has room this week.
