BUCYRUS — One local business has expanded, and its owner hopes the new option continues to make Crawford County more appealing to the eye.
Dane Kennedy, owner of Kennedy Landscaping LLC, has purchased Early Lawn Care based in Bucyrus. Early Lawn Care previously was owned and operated by Steve Cuffman.
“It’s one of those things where we already mow and do landscaping, and people like companies who can do all three,” Kennedy said. “With Steve retiring, it gave us a chance to expand to do something different by adding lawn treatments.”
Kennedy said being familiar with the business also made it an easier decision for its purchase.
“Steve and I helped each other over the years, so I was confident in the business’ history,” Kennedy said.
The lawn care services available include fertilization, weed control, crab grass prevention and insect and grub repellent.
Kennedy said he is keeping the other full-time employee from Early Lawn Care and also has three or four employees year-round but has approximately 10 in the summer with seasonal high school and college employees.
Former Early Lawn Care customers may continue to use the existing phone number or may now call Kennedy Landscape at 419-689-9057.
With spring weather approaching, customers may call to schedule estimates. Kennedy said estimates may be completed as long as no snow is on the ground.
