A Kennewick-based company has acquired a lawn and tree care and pest control provider based in Idaho Falls, Idaho.

“We look forward to expanding into Eastern Idaho. We continuously look to merge with high-quality companies who share our goals, principles and culture and I believe we found the perfect fit with LawnTech,” said President and CEO Chris Senske of Senske Lawn & Tree Care in a news release.

This will be the third location in Idaho for Senske Services, a locally owned and operated company with its corporate office based in Kennewick.

Brothers Kim and Kurt Johnson started their Idaho company, LawnTech, in 1982. Since that time, LawnTech has grown to become the leading specialist for tree care, lawn care, pest control, pruning and landscaping in the area, according to a news release. Services will continue uninterrupted by the current team of employees doing business as LawnTech.

“We felt Senske was a good fit for our customers. They share the same customer service, customer first attitude that has kept us going since 1982. Our employees are like family and knowing that Senske has been family owned for over 70 years means a lot,” the Johnson brothers said in a news release.

Senske’s Chief Financial Officer Bjorn Gjerde, who spearheads mergers and acquisitions for the company, said “with nearly 40 years of experience, we are lucky to have their team join the Senske family as we continue to grow and expand in the four states that we currently serve.”

Senske has been offering lawn, tree and pest control services since 1947 across Washington, Idaho, and Utah, as well as pest control in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Company CEO Chris Senske received the Sam Volpentest Entrepreneurial Leadership “Sammy” Award at the Richland Rotary Club’s 22nd annual awards luncheon in February.
