A platform for landscape companies built to last.
Green Garden Group is a holding company that acquires and operates premier landscape businesses across the Chicago metro — bringing back-office scale to the brands you trust, while keeping the local identity, leadership, and crews that built them.
Built by operators. Owned by the people doing the work.
Green Garden Group acquires established landscape companies in Greater Chicagoland, Southeast Wisconsin, and Northwest Indiana. We bring the back-office scale a single owner can't build alone — HR, accounting, fleet, recruiting, technology — and we keep the local brand, the local leadership, and the crews that made each company successful.
The names on the trucks stay the same. What changes is the muscle behind the operation.
Three principles that govern every decision we make.
Local Identity Preserved
Sub-brand names, leaders, and culture stay intact after acquisition. Crews stay. Client relationships stay with the brand. The work that earned the brand its reputation continues under it.
Scale Where It Matters
HR, accounting, fleet, IT, recruiting, and marketing consolidate at the group level. Best practices and industry know-how are shared across every branch. Cost savings on insurance, equipment, and benefits flow down. Founders stop being bookkeepers and get back to running their landscape companies.
Built by Operators
Decisions are made by people who have run landscape companies themselves — not by finance professionals optimizing a portfolio from a spreadsheet. Crew schedules, equipment specs, and client relationships are treated as the real assets they are.
Five reasons founders join our family of brands.
Owners who partner with us aren't selling and walking away. They're trading the parts of the job that have stopped being fun (HR paperwork, equipment financing, software vendor management) for the parts they got into the business to do.
Peer Network of Operators
You're suddenly part of a leadership team that includes Green Grass, Wingren, Grant & Power, and Bertog. Monthly operator forums. Shared playbooks. Hard problems get solved faster.
Back-Office Scale
Best-in-class benefits, insurance, and equipment financing — negotiated at four-brand scale. HR, accounting, fleet, and IT centrally managed, trained, and perfected, instead of stretched across each branch.
Industry-Leading Tech Stack
Aspire for ops, Acumatica for financials, Inova for payroll — all bundled with in-house training and expertise. Deliverable on day one to any new acquisition partner.
Recruiting at Scale
Cross-brand career paths give us a real recruiting story. Crew members, designers, and account managers can grow across four companies instead of capping out at one.
Liquidity & Succession
Owners are afforded the flexibility to transition on their own terms — walk away cleanly, step back to an advisory role, or stay fully involved. Real liquidity at fair valuation. A credible succession plan. The team they hired keeps their jobs.
