A family business with a decade of know-how.
4D Lawn Care is owned and operated by John Dawley and his sons — bringing 10+ years of professional landscaping experience to Toledo homes and businesses.
10+ yrs
in professional landscaping
Hi, I'm John Dawley.
I've spent the last 10 years in the landscaping industry. For 7 of those years I was the production manager at a premium landscaping company — overseeing 50+ client properties, leading a team of 15+ crew members, and averaging around 10M square feet of lawn every single month.
In 2026, I started 4D Lawn Care to do things my way: work side by side with my sons, take on fewer properties, and give every one of them the kind of attention I used to have to spread across a whole crew.
My business has always grown the same way: 80–90% of it comes from word of mouth and referrals, and my average client has been with me for 3+ years. I'm not interested in one-time jobs — I want to be the person you call for your yard for the next ten years.
You'll get the systems and standards of a high-end landscaping company, with the owner showing up on your property. That's the 4D difference.
John Dawley's track record — 7 years as production manager at a premium landscaping company, now bringing that same standard to his own company.

We don't grow with ads. We grow with neighbors.
80–90% of our business comes from people telling their friends, family, and next-door neighbors about us. That only happens when you show up every week, do the job right, and stick around for the long haul.
