Denver-based Swingle Lawn, Tree & Landscape Care has merged with Oklahoma-based LawnAmerica. The merger results in Swingle owning the majority of the assets of LawnAmerica.
LawnAmerica has been in business since 1999, employs approximately 60 people and is active in the Tulsa, Oklahoma City and portions of the North Carolina/South Carolina markets. They are leaders in turf care and are also a Christmas Décor franchise.
Brad Johnson, founder and former majority owner of LawnAmerica, said, “In order for our business to continue to grow and prosper, we are merging with a larger company out of Denver, CO, Swingle Lawn, Tree & Landscape Care. Swingle has been in business for nearly 70 years, and is well-respected in their market and nationally. After lengthy discussions with many industry advisers, I’ve decided Swingle is the best fit for the next steps for LawnAmerica.”
Both companies will continue to operate as independent businesses. Each company remains committed to providing their respective customers with industry-leading services, while also exploring new ways to combine resources and share best practices to improve efficiencies where possible.
“A 20-year industry friendship between Brad Johnson and myself has provided the foundation for this excellent opportunity,” said Thomas R. Tolkacz, CEO of Swingle and new majority owner of LawnAmerica. “Combining our businesses provides an opportunity to grow stronger as multi-regional businesses, providing additional opportunities for team members and expanded service offerings to customers. We appreciate the amazing work Brad and his team have done, and together we plan to build on this success.”
Founded in Denver in 1947, Denver-based Swingle Lawn, Tree & Landscape Care has grown to become a leader in residential and commercial lawn care, tree service, and holiday lighting in the Front Range of Colorado. Annual revenues exceed $20 million. For more information, visit www.myswingle.com.
