Play ball: TruGreen partners with Minor League Baseball

TruGreen, which ranked No. 3 on last year's Lawn & Landscape Top 100 list, has partnered with Minor League Baseball. The deal includes activations across all 120 clubs, a makeover of the home dugout in each market, sponsorship of select MiLB team grounds crews and a new initiative called “TruGreen Spaces” aimed at revitalizing community ballfields and public spaces across the country.

The multi-year partnership designates TruGreen as the “Official Lawn Care Treatment Provider of MiLB."

At the heart of the partnership is a new initiative called “TruGreen Spaces,” which will revitalize public ballfields and parks in MiLB markets across the country. Fans can nominate a local field or park through June 30, 2025. The winning entry will be selected from the 120 MiLB club markets. Deadline to enter is June 30, 2025.

“At TruGreen, we take great pride in understanding what’s happening in the hometown communities we serve and a big part of that is being the local experts who make keeping a great looking lawn look easy,” says Kurt Kane, president and CEO at TruGreen. “From the ball field to the backyard, we’re the pros trusted by pros and our exciting partnership with Minor League Baseball is the perfect way to showcase that.” 

In addition to the revitalization initiative, the partnership features in-stadium promotional segments that offer fans discounts on lawn service, while the home team dugout makeover includes the railing, ribbons and the back wall. The partnership with local groundskeeping crews encompasses the following teams:

• Columbus Clingstones
• Iowa Cubs
• Lansing Lugnuts
• OKC Comets
• Portland Sea Dogs
• Wichita Wind Surge
• Worcester Red Sox
• SWB Rail Riders
• Syracuse Mets
• Memphis Redbirds
• Omaha Storm Chasers

“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome TruGreen as an Official Partner of Minor League Baseball,” says Uzma Rawn Dowler, chief marketing officer and senior vice president of global corporate partnerships at MLB. “Not only is the TruGreen home team dugout takeover a great way to express the connection between each hometown and the local TruGreen team, but the revitalization project is a powerful way for fans to be even more proud of the place they live.”
