“Our decision to join Ryan Lawn & Tree benefits both our clients and employees. Our clients gain additional depth and expertise in turf and tree care. Our employees enjoy robust insurance benefits, additional paid time off, year-round wages, and become owners through the Employee Stock Ownership Program. Ryan Lawn and Tree is focused on buying companies at a fair price while investing in the people and culture of a company. The transition involved both management teams working together for months, communicating expectations to team members at both companies, and providing a transparent orientation for new team members prior to closing the sale. At Ryan Lawn & Tree, we look forward to serving clients in the Midwest and beyond while being guided by our company values: Honor God, Serve Others, Embrace Safety and Hard Work, Create Beautiful Communities, Develop People, and Create Great Careers.”

“We are so lucky to have known Larry Ryan for over 30 years. We met Larry as business competitors, trying to gain insight at the winter MAGIC seminar. We found that we shared many business principles and enjoyed meeting with him. We found Larry to be straightforward and genuine. About 10 years ago, we started researching information on mergers and acquisitions. We started setting our business up with a strategy to cross the finish line. Ryan Lawn & Tree is a growing company that is interested in acquiring strong, established lawn care firms. Larry and his associates helped us through the transition immensely. They helped explain the process we would go through and made us feel at ease. Everyone involved put forth whatever efforts were needed as we moved forward to a partnership. We have been retained by Ryan Lawn & Tree for a year to help through the transition process. Everyone at RYAN has welcomed us with open arms, and we have made many new friends. We have been rewarded and blessed to be working with the RYAN team to maintain and sustain great client relationships. After 33 years in business, we are now realizing our goals. We are slowing down, working reduced hours, with less stress, and now have a retirement plan in place.
