LawnPRO Partners Expands Its Reach with Acquisition of Total Lawn Care, Inc.

LawnPRO Partners Strengthens Its Position with TLC Acquisition

On November 19, 2025, LawnPRO Partners, a prominent player in the lawn care sector, announced its acquisition of Total Lawn Care, Inc. (TLC), a well-established business with a rich 35-year history serving Indianapolis and its surrounding areas. This strategic move marks a significant expansion for LawnPRO, bringing its footprint to seven states across the United States.

Founded in 1989 by Mark Cavin and Terry Jungels, TLC was built upon a customer-first philosophy, integrating agronomic principles into its lawn care practices. Their core offerings include an organic-based lawn care program focused on fertilization, aeration, and seeding, as well as effective pest control services that address common household nuisances like fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and perimeter pests.

Terry Jungels, co-owner of TLC, explained the motivations behind the sale: "When contemplating our decision to sell the business, we ultimately looked for a partner that would let us continue to operate how TLC has for the past 30 years." He emphasized the need for growth opportunities and back-office support, which LawnPRO is poised to provide.

Bill Viveen, CEO of LawnPRO Partners, expressed enthusiasm over the acquisition, stating, "The addition of TLC to the LawnPRO Partners family is exciting, not only because it expands our geographic footprint into the State of Indiana, but it also comes with a devoted group of employees who are passionate about the brand they have built over the years. We welcome TLC to the LawnPRO Partners family."
