Equipment Shipping Prices Slashed!

In an effort to battle the recession, Rittenhouse is offering a fantastic deal on the shipping of selected equipment. It does not matter if you are in California, Florida or Victoria BC, we have lowered our shipping rates to $149 for our most popular equipment that must be shipped by transport truck on a pallet. Saving our customers anywhere from $100 to $600 on transportation costs. There are some restrictions that will apply but this would save money for most of our customers.

In other news, here in Ontario our government is hell bent on banning commonly used herbicides and pesticides for "cosmetic" use. While we would prefer that the ban was for consumers and that licensed professionals can continue to apply these products apparently the Provincial government has a different opinion on the matter. So those of us in the green industry have been anxiously awaiting the details of the ban that is essentially already in place.

As best I can tell, this is where the list of affected products can be found:

Its unfortunate that we still do not have the details of the bans when Spring is just weeks away and the dandelion seeds that are lying in wait in my lawn. We understand the need to clean up our environment, but the "feet dragging" and confusion for the green industry is stifling business. Landscapers and property management companies are desperate to find out which tools will be in there arsenal against weeds.
