Mark & Debbie Walter

Lawns and landscapes have been in the Walter’s blood since the early 1980s. It was in 1985 when the official “business seed” started to sprout. Mark was hired as a manager for ServiceMaster LawnCare. A year later, he bought out the company and started a business of his own…LawnCare by Walter, Inc. Mark’s wife, Debbie, joined the team a few years later.

The duo has significantly grown their business the last 35+ years. The LCbW team went from just a handful of employees, to now supporting upwards of 40 families. The Walter’s have a family of their own, raising three children in the Rockford area, while flourishing their small business. The company slogan is “We build great lawns from the ground up,” but Mark and Debbie hope they can build so much more.

“Juggling a business and a family can be hectic at times, but it is all worth it. The children get to see the benefits of working hard and providing professional services. In the end, our amazing staff and loyal customer base are what contributed to our success! We take pride in being locally owned and operated, and we look forward to many more years in the Rockford area!”
