Central Florida has evolved in many ways over the decades that we have been providing our services here. New towns have sprung up, while older established places have been reinvented and rejuvenated. Davenport falls into the latter group and we are happy to provide Davenport Florida Lawn Care.
The Davenport community is quite an interesting place. The city website tells us this about the history: “The settlement in the area now known as Davenport was established in 1838 when the U.S. military set up Fort Davenport during the Second Seminole War, about 12 miles north of the present site of Davenport. The fort was one of a number built at 20-mile intervals along a trail from Fort Brooke to Fort Mellon. The fort only lasted a few years.

The fort was named for Colonel William Davenport, who served as the local U.S. commander in the war. There is no known documentary evidence to support an alternative claim that the city was named for a railroad conductor. The modern city of Davenport had its start in the 1880s when the South Florida Railroad was extended to that point.
The settlement was first known as Horse Creek, for the creek first recorded on a U.S. Army survey of 1849 which flows past the site to enter Snell Creek and eventually Lake Hatchineha in the Kissimmee River system.] A post office was established at Horse Creek in 1884, and the name of the post office was changed to Davenport in 1886. Davenport was incorporated in 1915.[1]
The South Florida Railroad opened a station half a mile north of the present site of the city. In 1926 it was replaced by a new station in the downtown area. It was closed in the 1970s. From 1958 to 1986 there was a second station, the Vertagreen Railroad Station, opened only for the transportation of fertilizer and not for public use.”
We have spent thirty years doing our level best to keep lawn care and pest control problems out of sight and also out of mind for our friends and clients. The general idea is for everyone to enjoy all the great things that Florida has to offer. That said, lawn care chores can’t be allowed to make you and your family nuts. After all, life in the Sunshine State is meant to be enjoyable and not a slog. Our role is to not let these issues get in the way of enjoying that sunshine.
Luv-A-Lawn and Pest Control has been taking good care of Central Florida for years. We love it and are very proud of our association. Think of us as your very own Full-Service team; the “One Company that Does it All.”
