Swingle joins HMI Authorized Member Network

CARY, N.C.  – Swingle Lawn, Tree & Landscape Care has joined HMI's Authorized Member Network, supporting HMI programs around Fort Collins and Denver, Colo.

HMI provides property owners, insurers and others with a full suite of support services for trees and shrubs, including emergency removals, inspections, cause of loss analysis and replacement cost calculations. HMI has established a national network of arborists and tree care companies to support their products and services.

"Swingle Lawn, Tree & Landscape is a leader in their service area, the Colorado Front Range," said Doug Malawsky, executive vice president and COO of HMI. "Their company was founded on tree care research and knowledge, just like ours. In addition to their history of service, commitment, and contribution to the landscape industry, they employ some of the leading plant experts in our field today. We are fortunate to have access to the arborists at Swingle and have already utilized their skills on one of the largest nursery based insurance claims that our company has ever handled. Resolving this claim successfully is a testament that HMI and Swingle provided a work product that the insurance industry would otherwise not have access to."

"HMI really offers an opportunity to build on our reputation of being knowledgeable and leaders in our industry," said Tom Tolkacz, CEO, Swingle Lawn, Tree & Landscape. "They provide so many tools and practical resources that allow us to take what we know and multiply it. We applaud the level of professionalism HMI promotes and appreciate the education they're providing to industry and insurance organizations. We're proud to be part of such a well-respected and forward-thinking organization."
