LawnPRO Accelerates Growth with Seacoast Tree & Turf Acquisition

LawnPRO Partners, supported by HCI Equity Partners, has acquired Seacoast Tree & Turf, marking its third expansion in the New Hampshire market.

The acquisition aligns with LawnPRO's strategy of enhancing growth through strategic investments while preserving the unique legacy of its constituent brands. The transaction enables the retiring owner, Dan Mello, to achieve his retirement goals early while ensuring the continued professional development of the Seacoast team.
