LawnPRO Partners Enhances Operations Through Acquisition

In a significant move within the lawn care industry, LawnPRO Partners has announced the acquisition of Concord Custom Lawn Care, LLC, which is based in New Hampshire. This strategic acquisition is aimed at strengthening LawnPRO's presence in the region and is expected to benefit both companies moving forward.

Growth and Experience Combined

Founded in 2002, Concord Custom Lawn Care has built a solid reputation in the Concord area and southern New Hampshire, steadily growing over the years thanks to its commitment to excellent customer service. The company has established itself as a trusted provider in lawn care services, including grub control, disease control, aeration, seeding, and insect as well as mosquito control.

Tim Doyle, the owner of Concord Custom Lawn Care and a veteran in the lawn care landscape since 1980, expressed relief and satisfaction upon making the decision to sell his business after nearly four decades. Doyle highlighted the importance of finding a partner that would not only honor the tight-knit bonds formed within the team but also provide new growth opportunities. “As a small business owner, I didn't have the ability to offer the same level of personal growth to my employees that LawnPRO could offer,” said Doyle. This sentiment resonates deeply as many small business owners understand the weight of such transitions, not only for themselves but also for their dedicated staff.

Welcoming a New Chapter

Bill Viveen, CEO of LawnPRO Partners, shared their excitement to welcome the Concord Custom Lawn Care team into the LawnPRO family. “The excellent reputation that Concord Custom Lawn Care has in its local market made it a natural addition to our existing New Hampshire footprint,” he stated confidently. This acquisition aligns well with LawnPRO's mission to integrate and expand its network of lawn care brands, ultimately striving for excellence across all its operations.

Since the completion of the deal, Tim Doyle has stepped away from the day-to-day operations, concluding an impressive 37-year career in the lawn care sector. Furthermore, all current employees at Concord Lawn Care will retain their positions, ensuring continuity for a workforce accustomed to delivering quality service to their valued customers.
