U.S. Lawns encourages greener fuels

"We kicked off our mower fleet conversion with a Field Day for our employees, which included safety training by PAPCO, a highly respected energy supplier. We are happy to be working with them to support our complete conversion of gasoline-powered commercial lawnmowers over to new John Deere propane-powered models," said Steve Ferguson, U.S. Lawns franchise owner in Hampton Roads, VA.

John Deere dealer East Coast Equipment partnered with U.S. Lawns in Hampton Roads to convert their mower fleet to propane. Virginia Beach, Va.-based petroleum marketer PAPCO Inc. will lease 72 propane lawnmower cylinders and cabinets for U.S. Lawns' 16 new propane-powered John Deere mowers, in addition to providing ongoing propane supply.

"We are very excited about our partnership with U.S. Lawns to fulfill their goal of converting to safe, clean-burning propane," said PAPCO Sales Consultant, Richard Reddington. "We look forward to helping them keep the grass greener in Hampton Roads."
