Ryan Lawn & Tree, a 25-year-old, employee-owned company based in Overland Park, Kan., merged with Simply Green Lawn Sprinklers, located in Riverside, Mo.

Simply Green notified its nearly 1,000 clients of the transition last month.

“We are thrilled to partner with Simply Green and to learn from Tony Shores, who is now a national consultant with Rain Bird,” said Larry Ryan, founder of Ryan Lawn & Tree. “He understands irrigation services, and we are lucky to have him as a continual resource. Our turf managers are looking forward to meeting our new customers and helping them grow the best lawns, trees and shrubs.”
