Astorville is a village in East Ferris on the shore of Lake Nosbonsing, southeast of North Bay, where year-round homes share the waterline with cottages that sit empty between visits. EdmisonH&P Property Maintenance looks after both: lawn care from $35 per visit, junk removal by the truckload, and spring and fall cleanups, all on scheduled routes from North Bay. Call or text 705-358-6852.
A cottage lot on Lake Nosbonsing keeps growing after you pull out of the driveway on Sunday night. The grass does not wait for the weekend you finally make it back up, and two or three missed trips is all it takes for a tidy waterfront lot to read as empty from the road and from the water.
Scheduled lawn care from EdmisonH&P Property Maintenance solves that the boring way: the cut happens on a route, not on your travel plans. You agree on a price once, the crew cuts on schedule, and the place looks lived-in every day in between. Visits to Astorville run as scheduled routes from North Bay, the same swings that cover neighbouring Corbeil, which is what keeps the pricing sensible this far past the city line.
Lake properties collect a winter's worth of mess by the time the ice goes out: matted leaves, downed branches, gravel kicked into the grass, and whatever the wind parked against the shed. In fall the job reverses, and the lot needs to be raked, cleared, and buttoned up before the first real snow lands on it.
Seasonal cleanups from EdmisonH&P bookend the Astorville season on both ends. Prices vary per job because a small year-round lot and a treed waterfront acre are not the same work, so every cleanup starts with a free quote. Describe the property over the phone or have the crew walk it, get a number, and decide from there. There is also a 10% discount when a referral sends you, and comparable written quotes get price matched.
Every cottage has the corner nobody talks about: the bunkie half-full of furniture that came up in 2009, the appliances that got swapped but never left, the boxes, yard debris, and reno leftovers stacked where the canoe should be. It stays because hauling it down the highway yourself is a whole weekend, and weekends at the lake are the point.
Junk removal from EdmisonH&P is priced by the standard truckload, and the crew does the lifting, loading, and hauling while you point. Bigger cleanouts, like clearing a full bunkie or an estate property, get a free in-person quote first. One booked visit on the way through Astorville and the corner is just a corner again. The job gallery shows what a loaded trailer looks like when the crew is done.
Not everyone in Astorville locks up in September. Plenty of the houses around Lake Nosbonsing are somebody's everyday address, with a lawn that needs the same regular attention as any yard in North Bay.
Regular lawn care in Astorville starts at a $35 minimum per visit and is priced by property size, with a firm number quoted before the first cut. That number holds visit after visit through the growing season, whether the schedule is weekly or biweekly. Grass cutting and yard maintenance come as one visit, so the lawn is cut and the property is tidied in the same stop.
Same village, same crew, different rhythm. Here is how the two kinds of Astorville property actually differ once someone is looking after them.
| What matters | Cottage | Year-round home |
|---|---|---|
| Visit frequency | Scheduled cuts on a route, whether or not anyone is up that week | Weekly or biweekly through the season, like any home lawn |
| Biggest job | Opening and closing cleanups, plus the junk that accumulates in the bunkie | Keeping the lawn consistent, then the big fall leaf drop |
| When to book | Before the season opens, so the first visit lands ahead of your first trip up | Any time in the growing season; the quote comes before the first cut |
| Who notices first | The neighbours, and anyone passing on the lake | You do, every morning out the window |
Including the honest one about winter, because snow removal does not currently reach this far out.
Yes. EdmisonH&P Property Maintenance runs scheduled lawn visits in Astorville, so the grass gets cut whether or not anyone is at the cottage that week. Arrangements are made by phone: call or text 705-358-6852, agree on a price, and the route takes it from there.
A cottage opening or closing cleanup is a seasonal visit that gets a lake property ready for summer or buttoned up for winter: raking, leaves, branches, and yard debris hauled off the lot. Prices vary per job because every property is different, and quotes are always free.
No. Lawn care in Astorville is priced by property size, the same as everywhere EdmisonH&P covers, with a $35 minimum per visit and a firm quote before the first cut. A waterfront lot pays for its square footage, not its view.
No. Snow removal currently runs inside North Bay only, so Astorville driveways are outside the winter route. Lawn care, junk removal, and seasonal cleanups all cover Astorville through the rest of the year.
Lawn care from $35 a visit, junk gone by the truckload, and cleanups that open and close the season, on scheduled routes from North Bay to Astorville.
