Leiby’s Landscape has been serving Lebanon County and surrounding areas since 1892. Leiby’s is a ‘green industry’ corporation providing goods and services to turf and horticulture professionals throughout the Central PA region.
1892
The business was founded by Benjamin F. Patschke and started as The Granite Wall Plaster Co. where they specialized in horsehair and plaster wallboard.
1945
Granite Wall Plaster Co. was passed down to Earl Leiby in 1945 when the business started focusing on bulk fertilizer for farming. Upon the transition to bulk fertilizer, Earl changed the name to Leiby’s INC.
Earl Leiby established a business relationship with then Central Chemical (Lebanon Chemical) and Leiby’s Landscape has been an authorized dealer for Lebanon Seaboard ever since.
1969
Doug Leiby assumed command over the business in 1969 but not before Earl made his impact on the business and the community. Earl forged many relationships in the business and local community.
In addition to becoming a dealer for Lebanon Seaboard, Earl Leiby was a Scoutmaster for years and was heavily involved with the Historic Union Canal Tunnel Park.
