Weed Man Plants New Roots in Kenosha

Kenosha, Wisc. – Local residents will be seeing greener grass soon thanks to Luke McGhee, owner of the new Weed Man location in Kenosha.

With many Americans contracting out lawn care services in an effort to free themselves from the burden of regular yard maintenance, Weed Man provides comprehensive and environmentally responsible lawn care services, including fertilization, weed control and integrated pest management.

“Homeowners are busy, and value their free time. They want to enjoy their lawn with their friends and family, and avoid worrying about yard work,” said McGhee. “Lawn care is a thriving industry, and I’m confident that Kenosha-area residents will embrace our services, as well as our commitment to both our customers and the environment.”

McGhee’s new business is a part of Weed Man USA, North America’s fastest-growing lawn care franchise. Prior to entrepreneurship, McGhee attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison to study Soil Science-Turf Management and simultaneously the manager of the University of Wisconsin Men’s Basketball team. Additionally, McGhee’s professional background includes serving as a Assistant Golf Course Superintedent at a variety of different luxury golf courses. He spent the last two years helping to build Wisconsin’s newsest golf resort, Sand Valley.

For more than 45 years, Weed Man has been dedicated to creating greener and healthier lawns. A lawn in good shape will generate oxygen, remove carbon dioxide, reduce noise and temperatures, filter out ground water pollutants, increase property values and reduce the vulnerability of homes to infestations and diseases carried by insects and rodents. Additionally, implementing a basic service like lawn care can help reduce Kenosha’s carbon footprint.

“Our goal is simple: treat every customer’s lawn like it’s our own,” said Jennifer Lemcke, COO of Turf Holdings, Inc., the company that owns the expansion rights for Weed Man USA. “Luke embodies the Weed Man values and commitment to hard work and quality results. We look forward to seeing his success in the Kenosha marketplace.”
