DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. --  Is crab-grass creeping on the lawn? Has the warm weather got spirits up, but also the weeds in the yard? Don't worry, these nasty additions to the yard are but a quick fix away.

Outdoor Recreation at Dover Air Force Base, Del., is gearing up for lawn maintenance needs this summer and offers various equipment for all DoD I.D. card holders.

Chris Rosebrooks, Outdoor Recreation assistant, has been making sure everything from stump grinders to lawn mowers are in top condition.

"We carry anything you could possibly need for your lawn-care needs," said Mr. Rosebrooks.

These items include manual and gas powered systems; rakes, shears and wheel barrows all the way to lawn mowers, weed trimmers and chain saws.

Some of Outdoor Recreation's most commonly rented items are lawn mowers, weed eaters and gas-powered edgers. They are $5 for one day, $12.50 for a weekend and $25 for a full week.

Customers are responsible for the condition of the equipment while it is being rented and are expected to return the rented items cleaned and serviceable.

Outdoor Recreation will be available to rent any lawn care equipment needs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays.
