Who is WLS?

In 1979, as a young man, Wayne asked his father - J.J. Volz Sr. - for a bicycle. So his Dad bought him a 22” push mower, electric weed-eater, and push broom so that Wayne could earn the money he needed to buy myself the bike.


In June of 1987, Wayne made this business his full time job. Since then it has been a small, family owned business located in Buechel in Louisville, KY that grew from 9 accounts to being recognized as a Top 10 Small Business in the nation by Landscape Management Magazine, Best of Kentuckiana, and voted Neighborhood Favorite by Nextdoor users. We are also an accredited business with the Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating.

Our customer in the Goose Creek area off of Westport Rd reached out to remodel her back yard area. She had a large area in her back yard where she wanted to install sod. Sod is a great solution for someone looking to have immediate grass coverage in their lawn. Sod is simply grass that has been grown, cut into strips, and rolled up. When we install sod, we can cut the roll into the exact area to fit the desired space - like our customer’s lawn area that was surrounded by gravel walkways and small planter gardens.

Our customer in the Glenmary area of Fern Creek reached out about issues from her downspout and the drainage behind her home. We extended the downspouts off the back of the house to carry the water further away from the structure and reduce the erosion of the lawn. Once the new drain lines were re-buried, we hand seeded the area before power seeding the back yard.
