Rochester, MN – January 19, 2022 – Outdoor Living Supply (“OLS”), a distribution platform for outdoor living products with a focus on hardscapes,
announced today it has acquired Parker Hardscapes, a family-owned supplier
of hardscaping, masonry, and landscaping materials, along with other outdoor
living products and accessories.

Based in Reno, Nevada, Eric Thompson opened Parker Hardscapes in 2010 to service the Northern Nevada market. An industry veteran, having spent the previous nine years as vice president of Tetrus Building Materials, Thompson oversees Parker’s operations, sales and purchasing. Thompson understands the ‘ins and outs’ of running a hardscapes and landscaping company and will continue in his leadership role, ensuring continuity and consistency for customer and supplier partners.

Brian Price, CEO of OLS, commented, “Parker Hardscapes is a truly special business that has mastered the art of hardscapes. We have admired them for some time. Eric has built an experienced and passionate team that aligns perfectly with our growth platform. We are thrilled to be entering the Nevada market through this dynamic new partnership.”

Eric Thompson, owner of Parker Hardscapes, added, “I started this business back in 2010 and am very proud of what our team has accomplished. We had a bright future ahead and I was not looking to sell. When OLS approached me, I felt a deep alignment with their vision, values and passion for the hardscapes industry and immediately saw our powerful potential as growth partners. I am excited to be part of the OLS family of companies and ready to jump start our next phase of growth.”
