Ruppert Landscape has acquired Scott & Sons Landscaping, located in Dagsboro, Del.
Ruppert Landscape in Laytonsville, Md., ranked No. 8 on the 2019 LM150 list.
Founded in 1997 by Scott Shubert, Scott & Sons offers residential and commercial landscape maintenance, design, irrigation, pest and nutrient management and hardscape installation on the Delmarva Peninsula.
“Similar to Ruppert, Scott & Sons invested in owning and maintaining a first-class operating facility and employed a strong team, dedicated to great customer service,” said Tom Barry, president of Ruppert’s landscape management division. “We felt that this would help give us a great base of operations in Delmarva and market-specific knowledge from which to build in the years ahead.”
The transaction includes the purchase of one facility, all commercial landscape management contracts, vehicles and equipment and the onboarding of all employees. Ruppert will relocate its newly opened Delmarva branch from its temporary facility to join the Scott & Sons team in its facility.
“Ruppert is committed to retaining the Scott & Sons team and all of its commercial landscape maintenance contracts,” said Garth Jorgensen, Delmarva branch manager. “This acquisition allows us to strengthen our newly formed team to better serve our customers and expand our service coverage in this new market.”
