Who we are

Forty years
on these lawns.

Ken's Lawn Service has cared for residential and commercial properties around Wilmington for more than forty years. We are now the grounds division of JJID Site Services, which means the lawn work carries on exactly as it did, with a wider trades team behind it.

Most of our work is recurring, so the crew that mows in July is the crew that clears your leaves in November. They learn a property: where the drainage is bad, which bed dries out first, which gate sticks. And because JJID covers painting, carpentry, concrete, and pressure washing, one phone call now reaches further than the lawn — if we spot a rotted deck board or a cracked walkway while we are on site, we tell you, and you decide what happens next.

Why Ken's

Hired for the
whole year.

  • Forty years in one area

    We have worked these neighborhoods since the 1980s. Most new customers come from a neighbor who already uses us.

  • Scheduling that bends

    Weekly, biweekly, or occasional. Customers regularly ask for a cut before a weekend party, and we work to accommodate it.

  • Contract clients plowed first

    Snow customers on a seasonal agreement get priority response when a storm comes through.

  • Straightforward billing

    We bill monthly. Pay by check, credit card, Zelle, or PayPal — online or straight off the invoice.

  • You get an answer

    Questions and special requests get a response, not a voicemail box that fills up in the busy season.

  • Backed by a full trades team

    Painting, carpentry, concrete, and pressure washing come from the same office through JJID Site Services.

  • Great lawn service and leaf mulching! The staff are wonderful and helpful and never hesitate to answer questions. My lawn looks wonderful. In the fall I have my leaves mulched and have always been satisfied. Vicky is kind and is always available for questions and to schedule service.

  • Ken's Lawn Service took care of my mother's house for many years. She loved “Kenny” and would run out to give him a bottle of water. My mother passed over a year ago and Ken's Lawn Service continues to take wonderful care of her lawn. If you call and need anything Vicky is wonderful too! I highly recommend them.

  • We have used KLS for about 4 years now after trying several lawn services, and this is the best. Several times we needed our lawn cut or the yard weeded last minute for a party we were having and Ken always accommodated us.

  • Ken's lawn service recently removed leaves from my yard. They worked hard and left the yard free of leaves. The owner was prompt on scheduling and I would recommend them. They are fast, reliable and do a wonderful job.

  • I've used them for years now. They are always reliable and accommodating and do a great job with both ongoing lawn services and small jobs such as removing bushes and pruning. They also do snow removal in the winter.

  • I have been using Ken's lawn service for over a year and have always had excellent service. I especially appreciate their responsiveness if I have a question or a special request (like lawn clean up or extra services).

  • I contracted Ken's Lawn Service through Angie's list. The two workers did a great job and Ken was able to schedule around my needs to get things done in the same day. I would certainly use them again.
