DAYTON, Ohio – TruGreen-ChemLawn plans to continue distancing itself from the rest of the lawn care industry with the acquisition of Leisure Lawn.
Representatives from Leisure Lawn, which was founded in 1970 and marketed itself as the "nation’s largest privately held lawn care company," weren’t available for comment, but the chemical lawn care company had 1999 revenue of about $22 million from 11 different markets, including: Cleveland, Ohio; Cincinnati, Ohio; Columbus, Ohio; Chicago, Ill.; Indianapolis, Ind.; St. Louis, Mo.; Detroit, Mich.; Washington, D.C.; and Atlanta, Ga.
Lawn & Landscape also learned that TruGreen-ChemLawn was not the only company interested in acquiring Leisure Lawn. Scotts Lawn Service, Marysville, Ohio, is also believed to have submitted a bid to acquire the company.
