As a division of the Marysville, Ohio-based lawn and garden products behemoth The Scotts Miracle-Gro Co., it had capital to make acquisitions—and it did so to the tune of at least $125 million in its first decade. During that time Scotts LawnService (SLS) absorbed more than 60 lawn care companies, including notables such as Emerald Green Lawn Care of Fort Wayne, Ind., J.C. Ehrlich's Green Team of Reading, Pa., and The Lawn Co. of Cape Cod, Mass. The question isn't how Scotts got to be the second largest lawn care firm in the U.S., with 84 corporate locations and 90 franchisees today. It's whether the 15-year-old company can sustain a level of quality and service that will allow it to gain market share in what it estimates to be a $6 billion category. Brian Kura sees nothing but opportunity. He was named president of SLS in June 2012, after serving in various business development, sales/marketing and leadership positions at Scotts Miracle-Gro since 1997.
