Newboro & the Rideau Lakes

Too small for a contractor. Too big to do yourself.

There’s always a job on the list that nobody will come out for. A branch over the driveway. A brush pile. A load that needs going to the dump. We’re a father-and-son team right here in Newboro, and those are exactly the jobs we do — properly, and we take the mess with us when we go.

No job too small.

Call 343-800-5544

We’ll come have a look and tell you what it would cost. No charge for that, and no obligation.

What we do

The jobs on everybody’s list.

None of this is complicated work. It just needs someone with a truck, the right tools, and the willingness to show up when they said they would.

Brush & branches

Limbs over the driveway, brush piles, storm mess. Trimmed, cut up, and taken away.

Yard & leaf cleanup

Spring and fall cleanups, leaves, garden beds, the corner that got away on you.

Hedges & trimming

Cedar hedges, overgrown shrubs, and anything that needs cutting back.

Runs to the transfer station

We load it, we haul it, we dispose of it. You don’t have to borrow a truck.

Getting rid of things

The old appliance, the busted mower, the pile that’s been there since spring. Gone.

Moving heavy things

Furniture, an old freezer, a woodpile, a dock section. Two people and a truck.

Gutters & small repairs

Gutters cleared, a loose board, a sticking door, a step that needs fixing.

Whatever else

If it’s on your list and nobody will come do it, ask us. As one neighbour put it, it’s the work that isn’t included in your regular lawn care.

“The branch over my driveway had got so low I was scraping my car every time I came in, and the propane truck couldn’t get down at all. Eric and Torin at Dewhirst Cottage Care had it trimmed, cut up and hauled away in a couple of hours. They took every bit of it with them. They did a follow-up as well to make sure I was satisfied with the results, which I definitely was. They do the type of work that isn’t included in your regular lawn care.”

Questions

The things people ask.

Is there a minimum job size?

No. Small jobs are the whole point — they’re the ones nobody else will drive out for. If it takes an hour, it takes an hour.

Do you take the mess away?

Yes, always. Brush, branches, old junk, whatever comes out of the job goes in the truck and off to the transfer station. We don’t leave a pile behind for you to deal with.

What does it cost?

It depends on the job, which is why we come and look first. The estimate is free and there’s no obligation. Most of what we do is a couple of hours to half a day.

Do you only work on cottages?

Not at all. We look after cottages for people who live away, but plenty of our work is for folks who live here year-round and just need a hand with something.

Are you insured?

Yes, fully insured. You shouldn’t have to worry about someone getting hurt on your property.

What areas do you cover?

Newboro, Westport, Portland, Elgin, Delta and the surrounding Rideau Lakes area.
