New Members for October 2023
Special Offer
Hills to Hollers Home Watch & Handyman Service has a special offer for Murphy, NC seasonal homeowners.
As Murphy residents, we all know the beauty of our fall leaf season is one of the many pleasures of living in Western North Carolina. Unfortunately, that beauty is short lived and soon those leaves fall to the ground and need to be removed.
Hills to Hollers Home Watch and Handyman service is offering a one-time free leaf removal for new Hills to Hollers Home Watch customers who purchase a 2-month Home Watch Service.
With the purchase of the 2-month Home Watch Service, we will come to your home and with the use of our lawn service equipment, remove the leaves from up to one acre of your property. Offer ends November 5th, 2023.
Don’t need the leaves removed but need some other lawn or deck maintenance of your home? Let us know. Our lawn and pressure washing service may also apply for this complimentary offer.
Message or call us at 828-361-3752 for details and pricing.
