Ewing Irrigation & Landscape Supply announces its acquisition of Hageman Earth Cycle in Northern Colorado, creating a new service model opportunity, while continuing to expand within the state and grow Ewing Landscape Materials locations.
Ewing, the nation’s largest family-owned wholesale distributor of landscape and water management products, has locations throughout the state, including the Denver metro area, Colorado Springs and Fort Collins. With the Hageman acquisition that was effective April 8, this became the seventh Ewing Landscape Materials yard in the state of Colorado; alongside its five irrigation branches.
“Roger and Peggy Hageman have been instrumental in the Colorado green industry for decades. At Ewing, we are honored to continue the business and service model they’ve built since 1995, with an emphasis on quality service, family, and sustainability,” said Matthew Hulsey, Ewing’s Mountain States Divisional Vice President.
“We picked Ewing because they have a strong family-owned business background. We’re confident they’ll carry our values forward and treat our customers and employees well,” said Roger Hageman, on the decision to sell Hageman Earth Cycle. “We will miss being such a big part of our community, but we’re already looking at ways we can volunteer and give back while we enjoy our retirement.”
The Hagemans built their commercial and retail landscape supply and recycling company after working in the market as a landscape maintenance contractor for 20 years. Since the mid-nineties, they’ve offered customers bulk landscaping materials, as well as green waste recycling. Notably, Hageman Earth Cycle is known for the outstanding community support to the City of Fort Collins in the aftermath of the 1995 spring snowstorm, grinding and composting the broken branches and debris impacting the community.
“The synergies between Hageman and Ewing’s businesses align not only as family-owned and operated businesses focused on customer service excellence, but also as green industry stewards with a passion for sustainability,” said Douglas W. York, president and CEO of Ewing.
Through this partnership, Ewing will retain the local staff at the Hageman Earth Cycle location. This new location began serving customers as Ewing Landscape Materials on Monday, April 11.
