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.

We take the safety of our crews very seriously! As you’re driving, be sure to pay attention to safety cones, posted speed signs, and other safety precautions for our crew and other service members in the city.  Spring and summer are some of the busiest seasons for lawn and landscaping work, meaning you’ll see more crews out maintaining yards, parks, and public spaces. While we’re committed to delivering top-quality service, safety always comes first—for our workers, our clients, and the community. Your awareness and cooperation make a huge difference! By driving carefully around work zones, you’re helping us keep our team safe while we keep your lawns looking their best.
