"They are a well-established business, having served Atlanta for 15 years, and they have an excellent reputation and loyal client-base. And there is tremendous synergy with our cultures, production models, and customer base."
Kyle Johnson, CEO of LMG, added, "I believe this merger is a win-win situation. It's the coming together of two seasoned leaders in the Atlanta real estate market. Nature Scapes is a quality organization."
After a transition period, Kyle Johnson will join the Nature Scapes executive team, moving away from day-to-day operations management. "I am very much looking forward to joining the leadership team with Rick Upchurch and Mike Kneeland (Nature Scapes' chief operating officer)," Mr. Johnson said. "They both have extensive experience in the industry and as executives. I anticipate benefiting greatly from their wisdom."

be a tremendous asset to us. He understands the value of customer service-some of his customers have been with him since the first years of LMG."
In the immediate future, Landscape Maintenance Group will operate under the name LMG, a Nature Scapes Company. Operations in the Marietta offices of LMG and Lilburn offices of Nature Scapes will continue as usual.
"We look forward to providing our customers the same high-quality service they are used to and now with greater coverage on the west side of Atlanta through our new Marietta location," Mr. Upchurch said.
