Senske Services, No. 59 on the 2023 LM150 list, acquired Pro Turf & Pro Pest Solutions. Pro Turf & Pro Pest Solutions offers comprehensive residential and commercial services throughout Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa. With branch locations in key cities such as Kansas City, Omaha and St. Louis, the acquisition marks Senske Services’ inaugural foray into the midwestern United States.
Co-owners Scott Doss and Staci Doss, who started Pro Turf & Pro Pest Solutions in 1997 from a two-car garage, have steered the company’s growth to nearly 20,000 customers. Scott Doss will continue to spearhead the day-to-day operations.
“It felt like the right time to take advantage of the acquisition activity within the industry,” said Scott Doss. “We explored various potential partners and found that Senske was the ideal match. Our priority was to take care of both customers and employees and Senske’s proven track record reassured us in this regard.”
Casey Taylor, CEO of Senske Services, discussed the acquisition and said, “Scott and Staci have built a tremendous organization. The team at Pro Turf is incredible and we are excited to welcome the 75 employees to the Senske Family of Companies.”
For more than a decade, Senske Services hoped to expand into the Midwest but could not find the right partner. According to the company, Pro Turf was the perfect partner with shared values in employee culture.
Senske Services recently extended its presence internationally with additions in Canada.
Additionally, throughout 2023 Senske made multiple moves to expand including the addition of Ace of Blades, National Turf Service of Springfield, Va., Emerald Lawns of Austin, Texas; Barnes Quality Pest Control of Bend, Ore.; Liqui-Lawn of Longmont, Colo.; Blades of Green of Edgewater, Md.; and Scientific Spray Service in Tacoma, Wash and eighth overall since the investment from private equity firm GTCR.
