A scraper device is disclosed for preventing irregular release of grass clippings from a wheel of a lawnmower. The scraper device has a scraper with a concave or angled inner surface. The lateral edges of the scraper are separated from the wheel surface by a uniform scraper distance. The length of the scraper is approximately equal to the width of the wheel. The width of the scraper is about ⅙ to ¼ of the diameter of the wheel. An arm attaches the scraper to the housing of the lawnmower adjacent to the wheel. The scraper and the arm are composed of a rigid material such as metal or plastic. As the wheel turns in either the forward or reverse direction, excess grass clippings are removed from the wheel, preventing the formation of clumps. The invention also includes a lawnmower having four attached scraper devices, and a method for improving lawn appearance using the scraper device to remove grass clippings from the wheels.
