Carmel-based Engledow Group, one of the Indianapolis area's largest landscape companies, has acquired Litchfield Landscape Co. to bolster its estates division, the companies announced Monday.

The acquisition of Litchfield brings Engledow an additional 20 employees, including three landscape and hardscape designers, a press release stated.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Engledow is the fourth-largest landscaper in the Indianapolis area, based on 2008 revenue of $11.6 million. It has 125 full-time equivalent employees. The company does 90 percent of its business on commercial properties.

“Recent growth in our estates division played a big role in our decision to acquire Litchfield. With demand for estate services currently at its highest, the combined capabilities will help us to continue to exceed our design-build customers’ expectations,” President Jim Engledow said in a prepared statement.

Litchefield founder Jim Altum will serve as director of the Litchfield operation, which will operate out of its current nursery at 186th Street and Spring Mill Road. The division will retain the Litchfield name. Altum will spend most of his time on residential design and installation. Horace Pinon will continue as director of the Engledow Estates division.

Altum started Litchfield Landscape Co. in 1994. Engledow was founded in 1932.

  1. These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.

  2. The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)

  3. As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.

  4. The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.

  5. I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
