I am excited about what is ahead for our team and our customers."

Travis Tyrell echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the shared values between the two companies.

"Over the last 22 years, we've worked hard to build a company known for doing the job right and standing behind our work. APHIX shares that commitment to craftsmanship and to the people who deliver it every day. This partnership gives our team access to new resources, expertise, and opportunities while keeping the culture that made North Carolina Turf Care what it is."

APHIX’s leadership expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting the values and expertise that North Carolina Turf Care brings to their growing platform.
