Ed & Jeanne Fleming
Owners
Edward Fleming, owner and president of Lawns Unlimited. My career started when I enrolled at
Delaware Valley College of Science and Agriculture in the fall of 1975 and graduated in the spring of 1979 with a bachelor of Science degree in Agronomy and Environmental Science. Immediately after graduating I was employed by Monsanto Chemical company as a crop protection specialist selling and testing several crop protection products and compounds. During my 11 years employed at Monsanto I gained vast amounts of knowledge and experience with many different herbicides, weeds, insects, fertility in the crop and turf business. Utilizing my wealth of knowledge and experience, my wife, Jeanne and I started our family owned lawn care business. LAWNS UNLIMITED IN 1986. With my experience working for Monsanto I used all of my knowledge of creating a professional lawn care company, using the best quality of plant health care products to deliver the best results and caring for the environment at the same time. Over the last 30 years of creating beautiful Lawns for our 2500 customers, we have tested and tweaked our Organic Plus lawn care program that is second to none. Utilizing soil testing as a key factor in our program, I developed a prescription type program for each customer because everyone’s soil is different. Establishing and growing beautiful Lawns in Delaware is very challenging with the sandy soils which leach out nutrients very quickly and high heat and humidity during the summer which creates a perfect storm for lawn diseases. Not only did I create a premium lawn care division, I also created a premier lawn irrigation and irrigation well division. Plant water relationships are key in creating and maintaining a beautiful healthy lawn. I design and install irrigation systems which are zoned to apply different amounts of water for shade vs. sun areas and lawn vs. shrub areas. In 2007 I started drilling irrigation, domestic and geothermal wells, emphasizing on drilling for the best quality water. In 2013 to 2015 I served o the Bayer Science advisory board. I have been licensed in Delaware and Maryland for pesticide handling and application of pesticides and Nutrient management. I continue to perfect our lawn program, irrigation and wells for many years to come. I recently in the past several years introduced the MistAway mosquito misting system for our customer which has been very popular with the numerous mosquito viruses in our areas.

Charity
Certified Arborist
Tree & Shrub Specialist
My name is Charity Givens, and in February 2018, I joined Lawns Unlimited as their Tree & Shrub Specialist. I’d like to inform you a little bit about me and my background and how I become a tree and shrub health care specialist. I started my tenure in this industry when I was 14 years old working at a nursery in my hometown of Laurel, Delaware. I fell in love with plants and with the job, 26 years later I am still in the Green Industry. After graduating high school, I attended Delaware Tech and studied Horticulture and Turf management while working a full-time job at a golf course in Bethany Beach as their Horticulturalist. For 9 years of my journey in the industry, I was a chemical sales representative and provided services to lawn & tree care companies and golf courses along the eastern shore. Being a sales representative gave me the opportunity to have countless hours of training and seminars to further my education in the field. I am currently a Certified Arborist through the International Society of Arboriculture and hold my Delaware pesticide license. I attend several recertification classes annually to stay up to date with anything new in the industry. Before coming to Lawns Unlimited, I spent 5 years as a tree and shrub health care specialist with another local company here in Delaware. I diagnosed all aspects of issues on trees and shrubs and began treatment plans to help them become healthy again. At Lawns Unlimited, I will be available to assist you with all your tree and shrub needs. Now is the perfect time to begin planning for the health of your trees and shrubs as they are a valuable investment of your property. There are many insects and diseases that affect trees and shrubs in our area and sometimes the signs are obvious, but other times very hard to identify. It is always a good idea for a professional to evaluate all your trees and shrubs each year to look for issues that could affect the health of your landscape. A professional will also be able to set you up with the proper treatment at the proper time needed to benefit the trees and shrubs. This will include but not limited to, fertilizing for soil deficiency and root health, insect treatments for all major insect issues, and disease management for any fungus issues. Your landscape is a growing investment worth protecting, call Lawns Unlimited today to set up your free evaluation!
