A Company Built From The Ground Up

DeWitt Garden & Landscaping Center in the 70’s

Larry DeWitt 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 during those days, black plastic was a landscaper’s only option. From hands-on experience, Larry knew that while plastic stops weeds, it also blocks out moisture and air. This combination often resulted in plant disease, fungus and rot.

Larry set out to create a better alternative. He experimented with textiles and materials until he finally hit pay dirt. He discovered that woven polypropylene did everything he wanted. His new “landscape fabric,” later dubbed DeWitt’s Weed Barrier, would change the professional landscaping industry.
