Below is the original description for Hired Hands. In the winter of 1998, the owner of Hired Hands, Al Gay (my dad) decided to retire and therefore the company is now owned by another family who has been in the business for many years themselves. To all our former customers, we wanted to thank you for your patronage over the years and we are confident that your service from the new company will be just as good as the service we provided for you.
We wanted to keep the description of the company on this page as it helps to see what is offered by a company and what makes them the choice of so many homeowners.
HIRED HANDS is a small family owned and operated Lawn Care company which prides itself in customer service. We are small enough that we can still give personalized service, but have been in business long enough to be able to give knowledgeable and expert advice and service.
HIRED HANDS has been in business since 1986 and we still have many of the original customers we started with. Because of our service and fair prices, we have been able to keep our customers year after year.
We originally started in the Brampton area and have been expanding to cover Mississauga, Woodbridge, Bolton, Palgrave and Caledon, with more areas to follow in the future.
All our programs include eight basic steps, five fertilizers and three weed controls. Crabgrass control and/or Insect control are included in two of our programs and Aerating can be added to any of our programs. We also provide single applications, if desired, and we have a service for cutting and trimming of residential lawns.
BENEFITS & TIPS FOR A HEALTHY, GREENER LAWN
As homeowners, we are all interested in keeping our lawns looking their best, free of
unsightly weeds and destructive lawn pests. But maintaining a healthy lawn is also important
to the environment.
A healthly lawn is more than a just a thing of beauty, it is a vital living part of our environment that,
with proper care, can improve the quality of life we enjoy and the cleanliness of our world.
The following are some tips that may help you to have the kind of lawn you see in award-winning garden magazines.
When trying to control the amount of insects in your lawn & garden, consider using plants that naturally repel insects. The following plants have their own chemical defense systems and, when planted among flowers an vegtables, they help to keep unwanted pests away.
