All lawn companies are not the same. We have different ideas about the best plant foods to use, a willingness to seek out the best products and practices for our industry, the quality and training of our employees, the quality and responsiveness of our service, and the personal attention we are willing to give our customers. Leisure Lawn has been serving Fort Wayne and the surrounding area since 1979. It is locally owned and operated. Our technicians are all fully licensed and participate in ongoing training to keep up to date on plant health, growing conditions, and use of materials so they can do the most professional job possible for you.
Your lawn is working hard to improve our environment. It's all part of a wonderful cycle of interdependence between the plant and animal kingdoms. Man, and animals produce waste products which plants must have to thrive, and plants produce waste products which man and animal needs. When it rains on the pavement, most of the water goes down the drain. When it rains on lawns and gardens, rain is held in the soil until it can filter down to the water table for everyone's use. Healthy grass, for instance, is six times as effective as a wheat field, and four times as good as a hay field.
Tree roots also compete with grass for water and nutrients. During dry weather, you can sometimes see this when the grass under trees appears brown and drier than the rest of the lawn. Some trees also give off hormones that kill any plants growing in their root zone. Dandelions and plantain are in this group. They do not die over the winter. They survive from year to year and will eventually choke out grass. These are controlled best with a liquid weed control when the weeds are actively growing.
