Merchants Landscape Service

In 1999, after selling his previous company, Mark Brower found himself partnered with a complete stranger in a golf tournament. After playing a few holes, Mark's partner suggested an introduction with the Haas family, owners of Merchants Building Maintenance. The following Monday, Mark and members of the Haas family met for lunch before continuing conversations throughout the week. By Friday, Merchants Landscape Services was born. Merchants began with no employees, no client list, no sales and marketing team, and no acquisitions.
