Roland Outdoor, Inc.


Roland Outdoor officially started out in 1995, at that time we were named Roland Lawn Care and did mostly mowing. As the business began to grow, we made several changes along the way. In 1997 we changed our name to Roland Lawn Service. With this name change we started maintaining landscape and doing some tree and shrub planting.

 

One year later added lawn fertilizing and weed control to our services, this is now our Lawn Care Department. We saw a need in Hannibal for a landscape design and installation company, so we brought in a landscape designer and a crew dedicated to landscape maintenance and installation.

In 2003 we moved our offices and building to our current location at Roland Place in Hannibal. This move consolidated all our offices, material yard and building to one location. At that time we changed our name to Roland Outdoor, Inc. to broaden our classification and easily allow for other services in the future; with this name change came a new logo.

 

In 2006 we brought in a irrigation expert to guide us into commercial and residential irrigation industry for lawns and landscapes.

 

Our latest venture in the green industry is our Garden Center. Our Garden center is truly unique and a fun of place to shop. This latest garden center venture was just another stepping stone for us here at Roland; there will be much more to come.
