About Our History

We began in business back in 1897 before the internal combustion engine had been developed. We sharpened & serviced horse drawn reel mowers that maintained estates & parks in the Germantown section of Philadelphia (our first store). That store grew with the development of the self-propelled gasoline powered lawnmower. In 1965 William (Bill) Wiley and his brother Jesse opened a second store in Jamison, Bucks county PA to take advantage of the emerging suburb area of Philadelphia. In 1986 Mike, Brian, Pat, & Chris Wiley (Jesse's sons) opened a third location in the Norristown area to service the suburbs in Montgomery county PA. Today with the help of the emerging fifth generation of Wiley's coming of age we hope to carry on the tradition of Sales and Service after the sale into the next generation.
