Fairway recently expanded its footprint and service offerings with six acquisitions: Eastern Exterminating, Southern Care Lawn and Pest, Mencer’s Tree Service, Agape Lawn Company, Arbor Bay Tree & Landscaping, and Scientific Plant Service

"Expanding our presence with these outstanding companies strengthens Fairway’s commitment to delivering top-tier residential services," says Greg Harbison, CEO of Fairway. "Each of these businesses brings a strong reputation, unique expertise, and a shared dedication to service excellence. We are excited to welcome them into the Fairway family."

Founded as a family business nearly 40 years ago, Eastern Exterminating grows Fairway’s reach into South Florida, bringing increased services for tree, turf, and plant health and care.

“Fairway’s expertise and resources will allow us to grow while maintaining the quality and customer focus we’ve provided since 1988,” says Billy Porter, owner of Eastern Exterminating. 

Southern Care Lawn and Pest, also located in Florida, delivers a full selection of services, including traditional lawn fertilization and weed control, insect, pest, and disease management, and tree and ornamental care.

Mencer’s Tree Service joined Fairway’s portfolio of companies as well. Spanning three generations since its founding in 1958, the Mencer family has long operated in Eastern Tennessee.

Another addition to the Fairway family is Agape, which has built a strong reputation in the Triangle area of North Carolina. They offer a comprehensive range of lawn care, landscaping, outdoor living, pest control, and irrigation services. Sax Capital Advisors acted as sell-side advisor to Agape. 

“For over 15 years, we’ve been committed to great service and strong customer relationships,” says Brent Droege, owner of Agape. “Joining Fairway allows us to continue delivering that to our community in an even more substantial way.” 

Also joining Fairway is Scientific Plant Service, a full-service outdoor residential service provider from the Chesapeake Bay region that’s been in business for nearly 70 years. 

Meanwhile, Arbor Bay was founded in 2008 by Michael and Christine Marciniak. They provide the Tampa area with a wide range of tree services. “We’re excited to keep providing top-notch tree care with the same passion and skill,” says Master Arborist Kacy Keeffe.
