Honorable Home Repairs, Inc. has been serving customers in the Fort Wayne area since 2005. I have been in the home repair business over 35 years. We value honesty, integrity and pride ourselves in prompt customer service. We are family owned and operated. It is our pleasure to serve you! Dennis Hughes, Owner

"Dennis Hughes is NOT a licensed contractor in Allen County. We could never get him to show proof of insurance or bonding. I hope that this review will prevent someone from hiring this company. We hired him to redo a patio roof. The flashing around the utilities pipe was improperly done. The roofing was installed backwards and lacked the proper amount of nails. It was not connected to the house properly. The gutter was installed so that it was useless and prevented windows from opening. We tried to get him to correct the work but he always had some excuse for not doing the work. He was rude and combative and refused to bring his paperwork to prove he was licensed and insured. He yelled at me and my brother as we tried to help my mother resolve this issue. We finally had to hire someone else to completely redo it. I wish that the address for this work would not be revealed to Dennis."

We are North Eastern Indiana's premier Lawn Care Business. We offer Commercial, Residential, and Snow Removal Services. We are looking forward to serving all of your Lawn Care needs. Owner operated. Subs available. Cost determined by job.

"Unfortunately, we found Hoosier Lawn Service to be both unprofessional and unethical. After quoting a price of $945.00 for spring cleanup, they performed one of the worst jobs ever on our yard, and then billed us for the exorbitant amount of $2,615.00 (more than 2 1/2 times the agree price), even attempting to use a lawyer to extort their ridiculous fee. The following excerpt from my letter to their attorney describes the shoddiness of their work in detail: " 1) your use of improperly trained personnel (one of whom was so bad he only lasted three days in your employment and another of whom was put on “probation” by your company for ten days according to your employee Larry and Mr. Chase Jones), (2) lack of a supervisor or any employee with minimally adequate landscaping experience present for the backyard work (according to your employee/supervisor Larry), (3) failure to apply pre-emergent in backyard beds (which, according to video footage, were crawling with grass and weeds within days of the performed “work”, and for which I have paid $123.00 for repeated applications of weed and grass killer that I have spent hours applying personally all summer), (4) failure to edge and define all landscaping beds, because your company, by admission of your own personnel, did not own or have access to the proper equipment (which I had pay another company $500 to finish), (5) uneven application of mulch in all beds (we requested 1 1/2 inches of mulch; however, in many areas the depth was over double that amount and in a few areas, there was no mulch at all), (6) charging for unnecessary and excessive yards of mulch, (7) charging for excessive man-hours, and (8) charging for excessive dumping fees because your company used a ridiculously small truck bed (by local and industry standards) for removing brush. Three of your own employees agreed with me that the work performed on our yard was exceptionally poor. I also have had to replace perennials, including the contents of an entire herb garden, that were accidentally removed by your crew, as well as a pair of long handled pruners and a shovel that disappeared from my yard during the first day of work (I assume by accident, of course, as your employees, although unskilled, most certainly are not dishonest).""

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Sulfur is a secondary nutrient that helps grass grow lush and green. It combines  primary nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Sulfur helps the grass absorb nutrients to create a lush, green appearance. While sulfur isn’t necessary for every lawn, it can help most lawns be stronger and greener.

You should fertilize your lawn after it has grown at least two inches or after your second mow (usually in March or April). Applying fertilizer too early can feed your weeds and cause them to grow stronger, too. You should water your lawn two to three days before you apply fertilizer to ensure the soil absorbs it.

First, make sure you’re watering your grass early in the morning (and keep in mind you don’t have to water every day). Doing this helps ensure the water is able to soak in before the hot temps evaporate all of the water. Also, when you mow, don’t mow your grass as short as you would in non-drought conditions. Taller grass can help slow down the rate at which soil dries out. Finally, take your leftover lawn clippings and spread them out across the lawn to give it a little extra shade and nutrients.

You can thicken new grass by using fertilizer, watering it 1 to 1½ inches per week, mowing when it is at an optimal height, and preventing weeds. You should fertilize your grass while you plant the grass seed, or soon afterward. Use an herbicide to prevent weeds or spot spray with herbicide to kill existing weeds.

Bahia grass is not difficult to grow, but you might need patience for this slow-growing grass. Whereas some grass species, like Bermuda grass, can take 1 to 2 weeks to germinate, Bahia grass can take two or three times as long, making it seem like it won’t grow. But again, once your Bahia grass is established, it requires little maintenance. Its deep root system makes it a very durable grass that can bounce back after freezes and droughts.
