Larry DeWitt didn't set out to build a national industry-leading company. It just worked out that way.
Larry started his own landscaping business in Sikeston, Missouri, soon after earning degrees in horticulture and landscape design. In 1977, he was looking for a material to stop weeds and increase plant growth - without chemicals. But back then, black plastic was a landscaper's only option. From hands-on experience, he knew that while plastic stops weeds, it also blocks out moisture and air. The result: disease, fungus and rot.
Unsatisfied, Larry decided to create something better. He experimented with textiles and materials until finally hitting paydirt. He discovered that woven polypropylene did everything he wanted. And his new "landscape fabric," later dubbed DeWitt's Weed Barrier™, changed the professional landscaping industry.
Pros quickly realized what an outstanding product DeWitt's Weed Barrier was - for stopping weeds and also for promoting tremendous growth. They couldn't get enough. As a result, DeWitt products are used in more than 70% of the commercial landscaping done throughout the United States. That makes the company the #1 Choice of Landscape Professionals.
At the request of the professionals, DeWitt Company has added a wide range of top-quality fabrics and landscaping products to its lineup over the years.
Today, the DeWitt Company™ continues its full-scale commitment to the retail market by:
- Providing landscape fabrics to meet the needs and budgets of any consumer.
- Providing a full product line of horticulture textiles and products.
- Giving the product line a "facelift" to make it stand out on store shelves.
- Advertising with a heavy media schedule and a national publicity program to make DeWitt top-of-mind with consumers.
DeWitt has exceeded 25% growth every year for the past 10 years and owns the largest share in the commercial market. In 2000, the company moved into a 300,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to meet any production order.
Customer service is a priority and DeWitt employees are fully committed to servicing their customers in the quickest, most efficient and problem-free manner possible. DeWitt's reputation for service shows the pride that is taken in every aspect of the job. As Larry DeWitt states "Customer satisfaction is the judge of our efforts.
