The Bruce Company acquires additional landscaping business

The Bruce Company, #38 on Garden Center magazine's 2015 Top 100 IGCs list and the largest landscape contract businesses in Wisconsin, announced last week the acquisition of Landscape Care Company, located in Verona, Wis.

“The Bruce Company’s vision centers on growth and I can’t think of a better fit for our company than Landscape Care Company,” said Bliss Nicholson, long-time CEO of The Bruce Company, headquartered in Middleton.

The ten employees of Landscape Care will join The Bruce Company’s 350 employees effective immediately.

Mike and Kathy Simon, owners of Landscape Care, will transition to The Bruce Company in leadership positions similar to those at their former company. “We’re excited to partner with The Bruce Company, one of the most respected landscaping companies in Wisconsin” said Mike Simon.

The acquisition advances The Bruce Company’s goal to grow the family business without compromising customer service, said Seth Nicholson, president, chief operating officer and second-generation leader at the 64-year-old company. He said no employee jobs will be lost in the changeover and the company will be looking to hire more qualified individuals to assist in caring for our customer’s landscape needs.

“We have been Madison’s outdoor living experts for 64 years,” said Seth Nicholson. “We owe employees, customers and our communities The Bruce Company’s best effort to prosper for at least another 64 years.”
