Keeping St. Paul Productive Since 1989
In the Twin Cities, our outdoor power equipment has to transition quickly from the heavy demands of a lush spring to the rugged needs of a Minnesota winter. Since 1989, Merriam Park Repair has been the steady partner for St. Paul homeowners and commercial landscaping crews alike. Under the leadership of Jerry Devaney, our shop has spent 37 years ensuring that whether you are taming a backyard or managing a professional fleet, your gear is ready to perform.
As a locally-owned and operated business for nearly four decades, we bring a level of "informed confidence" to every machine that enters our service bay. We understand that your equipment is an investment, and our factory-trained technicians—who share over 40 years of combined experience—are dedicated to keeping you productive with expert craftsmanship and a neighborly touch.
Mastery Over Every Engine
A stalling motor or a ragged cut shouldn't be the reason your weekend plans fall behind. Our mechanics undergo hours of specialized training every year to stay current with the latest engine technology. We treat every piece of equipment—from a handheld trimmer to a commercial zero-turn—with the technical respect it deserves to ensure it starts on the first pull.
Our Specialized Maintenance and Repair Services:
- High-precision carburetor cleans and fuel system diagnostics for gas-powered tools.
- Full engine overhauls and major rebuilds for riding and stand-on mowers.
- Professional blade sharpening and cleaning to ensure a healthy, clean cut for your turf.
- Specialized seasonal service for ice augers, chainsaws, and blowers.
- Certified service for industry-leading brands including Toro, Exmark, Honda, and Echo.
The Merriam Park Edge
What truly sets us apart is our commitment to speed without sacrificing quality. While other shops might keep your equipment for weeks, we strive to complete most services in a week or less. We are a specialized dealer for Exmark and Toro, but our expertise extends to modern electric and battery-powered mowers, ensuring we can support whatever technology you choose for your lawn.
Because we know that moving a large mower or zero-turn is no small task, we offer a professional pickup and delivery service for the local community. For the DIY enthusiasts, our parts department is a deep resource, stocking a wide variety of OEM components and accessories to help you maintain your own gear with the best parts available.

Most lawn mowers need annual maintenance including oil changes, blade sharpening, and air filter replacement. In St Paul, MN, we recommend servicing before the spring mowing season.
Common signs include difficulty starting, uneven cuts, excessive vibration, strange noises, or smoke coming from the engine. Don't ignore these warning signs.
Basic repairs like blade sharpening typically cost $15-$30, while more complex repairs like carburetor rebuilds can range from $50-$150. Get a quote before authorizing work.
If repair costs exceed 50% of a new mower's price, replacement is usually smarter. However, quality mowers are often worth repairing even after many years.

Yes. Most repair shops in St Paul, MN service riding mowers, zero-turns, and tractors in addition to push mowers.
Drain the fuel or run the tank empty, disconnect the spark plug, and clean off excess grass and debris. This helps the technician diagnose issues faster.
Many shops offer pickup and delivery services for an additional fee, especially for riding mowers that are difficult to transport.
Look for shops with good reviews, certified technicians, and transparent pricing. Ask about warranties on parts and labor.
