Announcing the acquisition of Juniper Landscape Company

Juniper Landscape Co poised for rapid growth

SAN DIEGO, CA, USA, September 18, 2023

Verde Equity Partners, a San Diego-based buyout private equity firm, is thrilled to announce its acquisition of Juniper Landscape, a respected name in commercial landscape and property maintenance in Southern California.

Verde Equity Partners executes a vertical roll-up strategy focused on commercial landscaping companies. This approach involves consolidating owner-operated businesses with strong reputations, deep roots, and exceptional teams. The investment strategy respects the legacy of the founders while building a sustainable platform that supports employee growth and superior customer service.

This acquisition aligns with the recent appointment of Tom Heaviland as CEO and operating partner of the platform. With over 40 years of industry experience, Heaviland enhances the leadership team and brings a track record of successfully executing similar strategies in the region.

"We are committed to delivering exceptional value at a fair price," stated Heaviland. "Our robust pipeline of potential acquisitions reflects the growing interest of sellers in achieving the right value for themselves, their teams, and their loyal customers. We are enthusiastic about the opportunities in California and the U.S. Southwest and remain dedicated to serving the landscaping needs of our customers throughout the region."

Verde Equity Partners will continue to actively pursue investment opportunities with the support of its investors while continuing its planned acquisitions of additional commercial landscaping companies located in and around the Southwest states.
