Kent Lewis

Kent has been building green lawns throughout the valley at Gooding's Nursery & Landscaping since 1984.  He knows the lawns in this area and takes their care to heart.  He gets upset when something happens to one of the lawns he is treating. 

His experience is important itself, but he continues yearly to update his lawn care knowledge by attending turf seminars.  As members of the Ohio Lawn Care Association and the Ohio Nursery & Landscape Association, we keep up to date with current materials and lawn care practices.
