About Us

Caring for Kawartha properties since 2009

Founded by Dan Bruton with a simple mission: help cottage and homeowners enjoy their properties without the stress of upkeep.

Our Story

Hands-on expertise, real customer service

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.

How We Work

The promises behind every job

The way working with a contractor should feel — clear, respectful, and done right.

We listen first

We start by understanding what you actually want — then build a plan around it.

We communicate

No silence, no surprises. You're kept in the loop from quote to clean-up.

We do it right

Attention to detail on every job, big or small. Done properly the first time.
