A Legacy of Omaha Lawns Since 1963
In Omaha, the weather doesn't wait for your equipment to catch up. Whether you're clearing a driveway after a Nebraska blizzard or maintaining a sprawling summer lawn, you need tools that perform. Since 1963, Ted's Mower Sales & Services has been the bedrock of the local gardening and landscaping community. Located on Q Street, we’ve witnessed the industry evolve from just a few brands to the massive variety of tech available today, and we’ve remained a family-owned staple through it all.
Led by Ted Glacer, who brings an incredible 60 years of mechanical wisdom to the shop, our team operates with informed confidence. We aren't just a repair shop; we are one of the region's largest parts and equipment hubs. With six highly skilled technicians on-site, we help everyone from first-time homeowners to large commercial outfits find—and maintain—the perfect machine for their budget.
Over 80 Manufacturers Under One Roof
What makes Ted's unique is our status as a dealership for over 80 different manufacturers. This means we don't just "fix" mowers; we have the technical blueprints and the massive inventory of new, used, and even discontinued parts that other shops simply can't access.

The true advantage of choosing Ted's is our "parts-first" philosophy. We maintain a sizable inventory that includes hard-to-find components for older machines, meaning we can often save a piece of equipment that others might tell you to scrap.

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 Omaha, NE 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.
