Prairie Lawn and Garden Announcement

After much consideration, we have decided to close Prairie Lawn and Garden on 

March 31, 2026. We are actively looking for someone to buy  the business. 

This decision has been very difficult, with many factors contributing to the sale/closure of the business. Areas we  considered were staff shortages and lack of experienced engine technicians. The cost of owning/running a small business in Minnesota is very difficult- wages, insurance and state mandated programs have become very costly.

Our rising costs in products, insurance and shipping have greatly diminished a viable margin. Last but not least, our balance of work vs. family life is no longer sustainable. We are looking forward to using this next chapter to focus on retirement, spending more time with family, igniting old hobbies and giving back through volunteering.

There are many thank you we wish to extend: 

· To our wonderful and supportive customers.

   We appreciate your support over the 54 years of business. 

· Our current and past employees.

   We have worked these 54 years as a team, leading to our success. 

· Our parents started the business 54 years ago.

   They set a high standard in the business and community.

   We hope their legacy lived on in our work in the community. 

Thank you for being a part of our business journey.
