This is a mower deck housing comprising a body having a top and a peripheral angled skirt wrapping around each blade contained under the deck. Said skirt in the form of a cone where the top of the cone is smaller than the bottom thereby angling the cut grass both downward and outward away from the blades yet in close proximity to enclose the blade at a small distance. Said mower deck adapted to be moved in a longitudinal direction along the ground with said skirt. There can be one or more blades disposed beneath said top and within said skirt and rotatable about a generally vertical axes to define cutting areas, with no discharge opening in said body thereby creating a safe environment outside of the deck. The mower deck can include a wing deck where the blade can be stopped by an arm coming into contact with a belt and pressing it against a pulley.
