Does anyone know anything about them? I've been told by a friend who got out of the industry(14 yrs) that they make some really great products. I'd never heard of them so one persons advice isn't good enough for me. I did go to their website and they seem like a good company. Never have touched their products though.

Any experience?

I guess that answers that question. If this is true that they carry Gordon and Lebonon, then I'm pretty much set.

Thanks y'all

Helena is one of the largest distributors in the country for all of the brand name suppliers such as...Syngenta, Bayer, Dow, Valent, FMC, PBI, Nufarm/Riverdale, etc. They also have their own manufacturing facilities for formulating their own line of nutritionals (liquid and granular), adjuvants (very good line) and bioscience products all for Turf & Ornamental uses. They are very large in the ag markets but they have dedicated T&O representation throughout the country.

I don't know what Helena is like where you are located but in Lenexa Ks, here, they have an exellent supply of great products. Far superior to Lesco.

Sure wished the representation wa better here. I called and talked with a very nice gentleman & he mentioned their was another perosn responsible for my territory. That was 2 months ago so Lesco is still getting my business.

Sometimes folks drop the ball ... I've got an estimate I was supposed to get out a week or two ago and I haven't done it yet.

Anyhow, I like the fert from Helena a lot better than Lesco's stuff. It gives a lot better results, I think. Not to mention the fact that Doug has been at this Helena for ten years now, he went to school for this, he knows the chemicals BETTER THAN ME and he's able to answer my questions. I get blank stares at Lesco. In all fairness, though, one of the current Lesco guys comes from golfdom, so he really knows his turf but is very weak in ornamentals.

the problem with hellena is that thy concentrate on golf much more than lawncare. This is also true for southern ag, regal,bwi, ect.

I shop Helena a lot .
Prices are good .
However , Bill at Helena doesn't know much about the stuff they sell .
No one there does at the Phoenix store , for that matter .
They do have Gallery for $115.00 a pound , that's good

I like Helena. I also think they are much better and cheaper than Lesco. A buddy of mine told me great things about them. He was right!
