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

Professionals bring industry knowledge, can spot potential problems early, and tailor maintenance like fertilizing and weeding to your lawn's specific needs.

There are plenty of products to help green up your grass. Try an iron supplement spray or fertilizer that is rich in nitrogen. You can also apply a thin layer of compost on top of your lawn at the beginning of spring to give the grass a nutrition boost, which helps it achieve that bright color you are looking for. 

You should apply sulfur to your lawn in the spring or fall when it is below 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Aim for a day with little to no wind so you can apply it with precision. You can apply sulfur to an established lawn or mix it into the top 6 inches of soil on an unplanted area.

Grass will grow back after being sprayed with vinegar. If you’re looking for an alternative to chemical herbicides, vinegar can help you manage weeds. Use a mixture of 1 gallon of white vinegar, 1 cup of salt, and 1 tablespoon of dish soap to spray on your grass. This will kill the grass at the surface while keeping the roots intact, so it’ll eventually grow back. You’ll need to use an herbicide or manually remove the whole root system to get rid of grass for good.

You can use a fungicide to help control powdery mildew, but you should apply it judiciously as it can damage soil health and persist in the soil. Most of the time, proper watering, surface drying, and limiting shade can control powdery mildew without needing harsher interventions. If you have a repeated problem with powdery mildew, you can also try planting a shade-resistant type of grass that will be less susceptible to the fungus.
