About Russo
Power'd by Nature's Pros since 1970.
Russo Power Equipment and Russo Outdoor Power Plus started as a family-owned Ace Hardware franchise and has grown into a leading provider of high-quality outdoor power equipment for the professional landscaping industry. As the needs of the community evolved, we expanded our focus from landscapers to also serve municipalities, park districts, turf care specialists, arborists, landowners, and snow removal companies.
Now operating across Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Iowa, our mission remains the same: to provide the best landscaping equipment, snow removal tools, and turf care machinery while upholding the family values we were founded on. No matter the location, we’re united in our mission—Powering Nature’s Professionals.

Our Unparalleled Service
Since our modest beginning on the northwest side of Chicago in 1970, Russo Power Equipment has evolved from a neighborhood hardware store to the premier power equipment and landscape supply dealer in the Midwest. We take pride in personally getting to know all of our customers, both large and small. For more than 50 years, our staff has been showing up to help you get the job done. From power equipment to parts, and service to supply, we understand what it takes.
The Largest Selection
Our extensive relationships with industry leaders like Toro, Scag, Wright, STIHL, ECHO, Exmark, Bobcat, and many others allow us to carry the largest selection of equipment at the lowest prices available. These connections are also what make our sales team the most knowledgeable when it comes to matching customers with the right equipment.
Part of the Solution
It is inevitable that your equipment will require maintenance during its lifespan. Whether it is a spark plug replacement or a new engine, Russo has you covered. From a stock of over one million OEM and aftermarket parts to a knowledgeable service department, Russo aims to meet the needs of every customer while treating each one like a part of the family, not just another sale. Visit our in-store parts professionals or use our online parts finder; either way, let us be part of the solution.
