Allen Dekeyser is a former landscaping business owner, a dedicated hands-on teacher, and the founder of DeKeyser Publishing. After years of working lawns with his own two hands — mowing in the heat, fixing muddy patches, battling crabgrass, and learning what works through trial and error — Allen decided to take everything he knows and put it into a guide anyone could follow.
His writing cuts the fluff, ditches the fancy terms, and gives readers real steps that get real results. Allen believes every homeowner deserves to take pride in their lawn — not by hiring it out, but by owning it.
When he’s not writing or growing new ideas, you’ll find him with his dogs, his family, and probably a hose or rake in hand — building something from the ground up.
