What I cover

Eight trades. One truck. One call.

Most folks who call have three or four jobs stacked up and no time to coordinate three or four contractors. I cover all eight of these out of one truck. If a job needs a permit, I pull it. If a job needs a specialist I'm not, I'll tell you who to call.

About Hawkins Handyman

Twenty years of fixing, clearing, building, and cleaning up after.

Most folks who call me are tired of juggling four numbers. The lawn guy doesn't do tree work. The tree guy doesn't pull permits. The handyman won't touch a panel. Somebody's gotta wait two weeks; somebody else doesn't return the call.

I started this work twenty years back doing whatever the day put in front of me. Carpentry first, then plumbing, then enough electrical to wire what I was framing. Lawn and tree work came in because clients kept asking — and I had the truck and the trailer to do it right. Formed the LLC in 2013 once it was clear this was the whole job, not a side thing. BBB Accredited in 2015 and I've kept that A+ ever since.

The work hasn't changed much. Show up when I said I would. Quote what the job actually costs. Don't leave a mess. Pick up the phone when it rings.

If it's on your house, your yard, or your acreage — chances are I can handle it. If I can't, I'll tell you who to call.

The work — Oxford & Lafayette County

Eight things, done by one person who knows them all.

Pricing is by the job, not by the hour padded up. I'll quote it after I see it.

  • Lawn maintenance

    Weekly or bi-weekly mow, edge, blow — plus seasonal cleanup. Crew-of-one, so the schedule actually holds.

  • Tree removal & trimming

    Take-downs, crown work, stump grinding. Climbing and rope-and-saddle for tight residential lots.

  • Land clearing

    Acreage prep, brush hog, fence-line clearing, light grading. Brought a trailer for the haul-off.

  • Carpentry

    Deck rebuild, fence post replacement, framing repairs, interior trim — twenty years of it.

  • Plumbing

    Leak repair, fixture swap, water-heater install, rough-in on remodels. Licensed under MS Board of Contractors #21208.

  • Electrical

    Panel swaps, outlet adds, ceiling fans, fixture replacement, troubleshooting a circuit that won't hold.

  • Handyman

    Everything else: door re-hang, drywall patch, gutter clean, garbage disposal, soft spot in the floor. Small jobs welcome.

  • Pressure washing

    Driveway, siding, deck, fence. Surface cleaner for concrete; soft-wash for older paint.

How we got here

Twenty years, one ledger.

The short version: same person, same county, three big paper milestones along the way.

  1. Around 2005

    First job, one truck

    Tim starts working the trades full-time. Carpentry first, then plumbing, then enough electrical to wire what he was framing.

  2. By 2010

    Lawn and tree get added

    Clients kept asking. Tim had the truck and trailer to do it right, so he did. The 'one-truck, all-trades' model takes shape.

  3. 2013

    LLC formed — Hawkins Handyman Services

    It was clear this was the whole job, not a side thing. The LLC paperwork goes in on April 29.

  4. 2015

    BBB Accredited — A+

    On December 4, the BBB seal goes on the door. Tim has held the A+ rating every year since.

How a call goes

Plain process, plain price.

  1. 01

    You call

    (662) 473-8139. Tell me what you're dealing with. Five minutes is enough to know what I need to bring.

  2. 02

    I come look

    Walk the job, ask the questions that change the number. No charge for the visit if you're in the county.

  3. 03

    Written quote

    One sheet. Line items. No 'while we're here' surprises later.

  4. 04

    Schedule

    I'll give you a real date. If weather pushes it, I'll tell you the day before — not the day of.

  5. 05

    Done & cleaned up

    Walk the work with you. Trailer leaves with the debris. Invoice when you're satisfied.

That’s it. No portals, no logins — a phone call or an email is all it takes.

Where I work

Oxford and the towns around it.

Most of my work lands inside Lafayette County. I'll travel into Marshall, Panola, and Yalobusha when the job calls for it — tree-take-down up in Holly Springs, acreage prep down toward Water Valley, kitchen repair out by Batesville. No charge for the walk-through if you're in the four-county circle.

Towns I cover

  • Oxford — home base. Most calls land here.
  • Abbeville — short hop north. Tree and acreage work mostly.
  • Taylor — rural lots south of Oxford. Land clearing & deck rebuilds.
  • Water Valley — Yalobusha County. Plumbing & carpentry trips.
  • Holly Springs — Marshall County. Tree take-downs & electrical work.
  • Batesville — Panola County. Whole-house handyman runs when scheduled.

Farther than the four-county circle? I'll usually ask for the equipment to be earning its trip.

What folks have said

Quiet pride, twenty years deep.

  • Tim's been helping us for about two years now. He's terraced an area, tilled flower beds, smoothed soil and laid sod, planted trees and shrubs, and anything else I need done. Easy person to work with.

    — Repeat customer

    Oxford, MS · 2024

  • Hawkins does a wonderful job of anything you ask. Tim is very customer-service oriented — aims to please. No job is too small.

    — Verified review

    Oxford, MS · 2024

  • Tim fixed several leaks for me. Great to work with — knew what he was doing the moment he walked in.

    — Homeowner

    Oxford, MS · 2024

  • We had four other quotes for tree removal and grading. Tim's was the only one that walked the back lot before naming a number. Came back when he said.

    Lafayette County · 2025

Around the county

A few jobs across Lafayette and Marshall.

    Oxford — yard reset under a live oak
  • Southern-style home with spring garden beds and trimmed shrubs
    Lafayette County — beds + edging

How I price

Quotedby the job— not the hour

Most small repairs land between $150 and $600. Tree removal, land clearing, and bigger plumbing or electrical jobs depend on access, debris, and how much has to come out. I'll walk it before I name a number.

No charge for the walk-through inside Lafayette County.
