Founded by Dan Bruton with a simple mission: help cottage and homeowners enjoy their properties without the stress of upkeep.
Before launching Cottage Life Care, Dan managed golf course operations — overseeing pristine turf, landscape care and guest services. That taught him attention to detail and what healthy landscapes need to thrive.
He also spent years as a chef and manager, where precision, timing and customer satisfaction were everything. Those careers share a common thread: a passion for creating something people can enjoy, done right.
We don't just show up and do the work — we listen, communicate clearly, and make sure you're happy with the results. It's the reason so many Kawartha owners have us back, season after season.
The way working with a contractor should feel — clear, respectful, and done right.
We start by understanding what you actually want — then build a plan around it.
No silence, no surprises. You're kept in the loop from quote to clean-up.
Attention to detail on every job, big or small. Done properly the first time.
Tell us what your property needs and we'll get back to you with a free, no-pressure quote.
