Country Hill Landscaping is run by Eric and Ben Werle — a father-and-son team based right here in Guilford. Full-service care for homes and commercial properties, from spring cleanups and weekly mowing through tree work, stump grinding, walkways, firewood, and winter plowing.
Country Hill Landscaping is run by Eric Werle and his son Ben — born, raised, and working out of Guilford. Eric has been on landscapes across the Shoreline for decades, and Ben grew up on the trucks. Today they run the crew together.
The result is a landscaper who actually picks up the phone, shows up when they say they will, and treats your property the way they'd treat their own. No subcontractor shuffle, no upselling — just steady, hands-on work, season after season.
The owners are the crew — no go-betweens.
Real time logged on real properties.
Local routes, local response times.
Call and we'll talk through the work.
Eric's father, the late Richard Werle, was a longtime steward of Grass Island. In 1996 he founded “Save Our Shack” with the Guilford Foundation and the Guilford Boat Owners Association — raising the money to shore up the iconic barn-red cottage across from the town marina, a piece of Guilford history that's been painted, photographed, and loved for generations.
That same care for Guilford runs through everything we do today.
From the first spring cleanup to the last plow run of winter, we keep your property — residential or commercial — in shape year-round.
