With the success of our lawn care services, ServiceMaster® decided to acquire
TruGreen in 1990, after which we then moved our headquarters to Memphis,
Tennessee to join the ServiceMaster family of brands.
ServiceMaster officially acquired ChemLawn in 1992, making our business unit
the largest professional lawn care provider in the nation. It immediately began
operating as TruGreen, doing business as TruGreen.
