Experienced firm handles outdoor maintenance needs
By Nancy Brumback, Contributing Writer
Millbury“We are the one company to call when you need someone to do all the outdoor things,” said Michael Muller, owner of Jerry’s Lawn Service.
The Millbury firm will, as the name suggests, handle lawn maintenance, including mowing, mulching, seeding, and fertilizing, but Muller pointed out he does much more.
“We do lawn design and install new lawns. But we also clean gutters, power wash house exteriors, stain decks, repair walkways and walls, and prune shrubs. And in the winter, we offer snow plowing.”
Muller has been working in the lawn and maintenance business for “most of my life, at least 20 years.” When a friend, who he had also worked for, decided to sell Jerry’s a couple of years ago after owning the company since the mid-1980s, Muller purchased it.
It’s now a family business. Muller’s son, Michael Jr., works with his father full time, and daughter Julianne works part time. Jill Muller, Michael’s wife, handles the business side as the firm’s accountant.
Jerry’s provides lawn and maintenance services in Grafton, Upton, Sutton, Shrewsbury, Northborough and Southborough. Muller will provide free estimates and offers some discounts for seniors and veterans. The company is licensed and insured.
“Most lawn companies are limited in what they can do,” he said, “but we can handle just about anything and everything related to outdoor maintenance. You can call one person to get a fair price on a variety of jobs. I’ve been in the business for 20 years and will give a fair price and good service.”
Muller noted that most of his crew has been working with him for years, and that much of his equipment is new.
Now is the time of year for homeowners to make appointments for fall cleanup and pruning for their landscaping, he pointed out.
Fall is the best time to rejuvenate a lawn for next year as well, a good time for dethatching, overseeding or reseeding where needed, as well as fertilizing. “September is the best time to grow grass.”
