Schill Grounds Management lands first international acquisition

The company also acquired Grounds Elite in Cincinnati.

Schill Grounds Management is expanding into Canada through the acquisition of TLC Landscaping in London, Ontario. The company offers commercial landscaping and snow and ice removal services to clients of all sizes in the region.

TLC will continue operating with that name as it joins the Schill family and will expand into the Toronto area in the coming months.

Separately, Schill is also enhancing service in Cincinnati with the purchase of Grounds Elite, which has been providing complete grounds management service in that region for 20 years and deepens Schill’s service offerings and footprint throughout southwest Ohio and into the Dayton market as the company expands.

TLC is Schill’s first international acquisition and it gives the growing company a new service area across Lake Erie and to the north of its hometown footprint in and around Cleveland. TLC has repeatedly been voted a top landscaping company by The London Free Press and it holds an A+ rating by the Better Business Bureau.

Schill is actively seeking additional acquisitions in the southern Ontario province as it strengthens operations in and around the Greater Toronto Area.

“We are very excited to add TLC’s visionary leadership team and employees to the Schill family as we come together to provide the very best service to customers in south Ontario and enter the Toronto market with strength and momentum,” said Jerry Schill, CEO of Schill Grounds Management and founder of the company nearly 30 years ago. “In Cincinnati, Grounds Elite gives us a greater service footprint and operational efficiency across southwest Ohio and Dayton.”
