Ken Leimone’s 1st Choice Maintenance, Inc. specializes in full service landscaping and lawn maintenance for homes and businesses in the Triangle area of North Carolina. 1st Choice Maintenance is a small quality-driven, family-run company that is licensed and insured. In addition to landscaping and lawn maintenance, Ken is always up for the challenge of building walls, walkways and patios, and he loves to add an inviting feel to yards with outdoor lighting and water and fire features.

Ken Leimone started out with a lawn mower and a small 4 x 8 trailer that he purchased from
his dad after graduating from Louisburg College in 1991. He had supported himself thru high
school and college by mowing grass and cleaning offices. Since he hated to be indoors, it
seemed like a natural progression for him to build his own business and start a career outside.

When Ken started out, he would do anything–clean gutters, windows, power wash, mow grass,
whatever needed to be done. From this early experience, he learned what he really loved but
also gained the knowledge of many different things that correlated with what he does today.
He found that he was happiest figuring the lay of the land, working with the dirt, grass, plants
and water. From there to bigger mowers, longer trailers, and lots of on the job training — 1st
Choice Maintenance, Inc. was born.

Today, Ken Leimone, husband and father of two boys, loves doing things with his family and
making and improving outdoor spaces. He makes sure that 1st Choice Maintenance is a
company he can be proud of.
