Howdy folks!

I'm looking for suggestions for a company that comes to you for windshield replacement.

I live in Hanover but work in Chester. Looking for suggestions near those areas. Thank you!

We are moving from the City to Hanover County. Typically have been very attentive to city council meetings in Richmond. Would like to do the same here. Any general thoughts on the Board or members? Any one else who regularly tunes in or pays attention? Trying to get a sense of the who and the what of county government.

I am bringing my Grandmother out here in November for a few days to visit. I would love to take her around but she is limited in how long or much she can walk. Is there any resource where I could rent a wheelchair, preferably one that could handle the parks and gravel areas such as Azalea flea market? Is there such a beast that can handle those terrains? I am not trying to take her off roading but someplace like deep run park where the paths are fairly maintained.

Is anyone else experiencing these large grubs emerging? I found quite a few on my driveway this morning, my son found some the other day.

Howdy folks!

Does anyone know of a landscaper or tree company around Hanover that gives wood chips away? I'd love some for my garden. Thanks 🙂

There are obviously pros and cons about new businesses and builds, however, I'm excited for more options along the 301 corridor! Chipotle just recently put their sign up and I'm so excited that it's no longer a sad shell of a once was Burger King.

Now if only we could get some more sidewalks, bike path, and crosswalk!

Howdy folks!

I am planning on putting a couple vegetables in the ground next spring. Where can I get Hanover tomato seeds? Kinda dumb but are there knock offs to look out for?

Please take this and pass it along to interested people. Ashland's AHA (Ashland Helping Ashland) program is set up to help you and others in Ashland get work done without costly investment in tools and resources. Here is the link https://www.ashlandva.gov/699/Ashland-Helping-Ashland-AHA

I think Cville has a similar program, would love to see more localities in our area take this on and run with it.

I have a quick question for the Hanover/Ashland area. I need to make a decision quickly if I am going remain where I rent or if I need to move. I keep hearing that rents are starting to decrease but my landlord is raising rent for "market reasons", which I think is due to the incoming RMC class and need for student housing. I'd prefer to remain in the town of Ashland proper and under $1300/mo. A small, well trained elderly 15 lb doggo is also part of the family here. Other than normal rental agencies or land barons in the area is there anything out here?

Edit- corrected typo

My neighbor's son moved 20 beagles into kennels 100 ft. from my property last summer. They're not well cared for and their incessant barking has really ruined my quality of life here. Calling the county doesn't seem to help. Any advice is appreciated.
