Schill Grounds Management has acquired Elevations Landscaping to expand further west into the Chicago area.
Schill ranks No. 30 on Lawn & Landscape's new Top 100 list.
For more than 20 years, Bolingbrook, Illinois-based Elevations has provided landscaping design and installation, landscape management, plant healthcare, hardscape installation, seasonal plantings and holiday decorations, and snow and ice management services to clients west of Chicago, including residential communities, multi-family properties, businesses, and other commercial sites.
Elevations Landscaping will maintain its brand and market presence, while founders Catrina and Drew Wroblewski remain involved in the business as operational leaders. The 75 Elevations employees are being retained, bringing Schill’s headcount up to about 1,400 employees.
“Catrina and Drew have built a company with a strong culture of high-quality service, trust, and loyalty, and together we can add even greater value for customers and employees as we grow in the Chicago area,” says Jerry Schill, founder and CEO of Schill Grounds Management. “We are thrilled to partner with them as we deliver on their motto: Elevate your property. Elevate your experience.”
By partnering with Schill, Elevations Landscaping gains a network of 30 service base locations across the upper Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. Elevations also gains enhanced operational, financial, business development and marketing support from the Schill family of companies.
“The entire team at Elevations is excited to join our new colleagues at Schill as we add new resources and firepower to provide a new level of service to our clients across the Chicago region and beyond,” wrote Catrina and Drew Wroblewski in a joint statement.
