Who is WLS?

January 29, 2025

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.

When should I seed my yard in Louisville, KY?

By Admin • July 26, 2026
The ideal time for seeding lawns in Louisville, KY and surrounding areas is in the fall. The warm soil temperatures, less weed competition, and reduced heat pressure create the best conditions for building the density of your lawn.  Did you know that grass plants live approximately 7-10 years? This means you have to do regular seeding in order to replenish the grass plants in your lawn.

Our customer in La Grange, KY wanted to upgrade their backyard landscaping. There were originally no landscape beds in the backyard area. Our team created landscape beds along the fence line of both sides of the backyard, installed alternating Emerald Green Arborvitae and Summer Crush Hydrangea in each bed, and finished with black dyed mulch to make it all pop against their beautiful wood fence.
