Stay Green acquires Emerald

Stay Green Inc., Santa Clarita, California, acquired Emerald Landscape Services Inc., a commercial landscape maintenance company based out of Anaheim, California.

“What drew Stay Green to Emerald was the shared values of how business should be conducted – treating employees well and partnering with valued clients,” says Chris Angelo, CEO of Stay Green. “They have the experience, resources, and capabilities to allow Stay Green to grow in the Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.”

“It was apparent to us that joining the Stay Green family was the right move. Caring for their employees, clients and community is a shared value of Emerald’s and key component on which Stay Green was founded,” says John Croul, owner of Emerald. We have no doubt that they will provide the previous Emerald clients with the same exceptional service they are known for industry wide.”

Emerald will now operate under the leadership of Stay Green. The Stay Green executive team will work closely with Emerald, their preexisting management, and their 134 employees over the next several months to ensure a smooth transition and adoption of Stay Green best practices and processes.

“We will continue, as we always have, to focus on what makes us a great company to work for, a great resource partner for our clients, and an emerging market leader in service and quality. Client retention and safety will remain a top priority,” says Jorge Donapetry, Stay Green’s human resources professional.
