A New Kind of Landscape Platform

Building the landscape company
this industry deserves.

We're putting together a platform where great landscape operators can join forces, with shared technology, real design capability, professional infrastructure, and a model that actually rewards the people doing the work. Your name stays. Your operation gets better.

Let's Talk See the Concept

A $130B industry that nobody has built right.

$130B+
U.S. commercial landscape services market
~5%
Market share held by the top 10 players combined

Landscape businesses in the U.S., most under $2M revenue

Of property managers have churned a landscape vendor in the past 3 years

If you've been in commercial landscaping for any amount of time, you know the pattern. Property managers cycle through vendors every two or three years. Crews show up inconsistent. Communication is an afterthought. And the companies that have gotten big did it by buying everything in sight, not by building anything better.

Meanwhile, most of us running good operations are stuck competing on price in our local markets, with no way to leverage the quality of our work into something bigger. You do great work. You keep clients. But you're still grinding against the same ceiling.

The gap in this industry isn't better equipment or more trucks. It's technology, operational consistency, professional infrastructure, and actual design thinking applied at a scale nobody has pulled off yet.

That's what Solscape is about. We're building a platform from the ground up where residential design-build expertise informs how we approach commercial maintenance, where operators keep their identities and client relationships, and where every company that joins brings something real to the table.

We're early. The platform is built, the infrastructure is ready, and we're looking for the right operators to build the rest of it with.

Two engines. One platform.
They make each other stronger.

Most companies do residential or commercial. We think doing both under one roof is the whole point.

Residential Engine
Design · Build · Maintain
High-margin, project-based work that builds the portfolio, generates the craft reputation, and creates long-term maintenance relationships.
  • Custom outdoor living design
  • Hardscape + softscape construction
  • Outdoor kitchens, fire features, water features
  • Residential maintenance contracts
  • Portfolio that builds trust with commercial prospects
Commercial Engine
Landscape Services
Recurring, contract-based revenue with predictable cash flow, route density, and the kind of operational consistency that keeps property managers from ever looking elsewhere.
  • Full-scope grounds maintenance
  • Snow and ice management
  • Enhancement and renovation projects
  • Irrigation management
  • 52-visit reliability with SLA accountability

Design-build projects create portfolio work that wins commercial trust. Commercial contracts provide predictable recurring revenue and route density. Maintenance relationships surface residential upsell opportunities. The platform gets stronger with every project and every operator who joins.

The big guys got big.
Nobody got good.

The national players won on logistics and capital. We think there's room for a platform that wins on operations, craft, and the people actually running the crews.

The Typical National Roll-Up
Buy, rebrand, repeat
Scale through acquisition. Strip the name off the truck. Corporate overhead disconnected from crews. Property managers churn every 2-3 years because the service never matches the sales pitch.
  • National footprint
  • Procurement leverage
  • Local identity preserved
  • Design capability
  • Operators with skin in the game
  • Property managers who stay
"This industry doesn't need another company that's big. It needs one that's built right, and grows because it deserves to."
The Solscape Concept

What we're looking for.
What you'd get.

We're not looking for companies to absorb. We're looking for operators who've proven they can run crews, keep clients, and grow a book. People who are good at this and want to be part of building something bigger than any of us could pull off alone.

01

Your Name Stays

You built something real, and your clients trust the name on the truck. With Solscape, your brand stays. Your clients keep the relationship they know. Your crews keep wearing the name they're proud of. What changes is what's behind it: better infrastructure, better benefits, better tools.

02

Your Brand Gets Better

Your company gets a professional visual upgrade: updated design language, polished proposals, refreshed truck wraps, a digital presence that makes property managers take you seriously. Same name. Same identity. Elevated presentation. Plus a design-build portfolio no other commercial company can claim.

03

Get the Technology

Aspire for field service management. CompanyCam for job documentation. CRM for pipeline. Route optimization, SLA tracking, and real-time client communication, all centralized and ready to go.

04

Your People Get Taken Care Of

Health insurance. Retirement plans. Paid time off. Safety training. A career ladder that goes somewhere. Your crew members get the benefits of a $30M company while working for the local operation they already know.

05

Your Back Office Gets Handled

Finance, HR, payroll, benefits administration, insurance, procurement, marketing support. The stuff that eats your evenings and weekends, handled by a centralized team so you can focus on running crews and keeping clients happy.

06

Access Growth Capital

Funding for new equipment, crew expansion, and market development without giving up your shirt. The platform provides the capital infrastructure so you can focus on running the operation.

07

Join a Network

Other operators across markets sharing what's working: pricing, hiring, routing, client management. Stop solving every problem alone. The network gets smarter with every partner who joins.

08

Build Real Value

The recurring revenue, operational systems, and platform infrastructure we build together create something worth more than any of us could build independently. That value compounds over time, and the people who built these businesses share in the upside.

Make the world around us beautiful.

Every week, thousands of landscape crews across the Midwest show up before sunrise, load trucks, and spend their days making the world around them more beautiful. Most of them work for small companies with no benefits, no career path, and an owner who's one bad season from closing the doors.

Meanwhile, the property managers who hire those companies cycle through vendors every two to three years, not because the crews are bad, but because the businesses behind them can't deliver consistent communication, reliable scheduling, or professional accountability at scale.

Solscape exists to solve both sides of that equation.

For Employees

We're building the employer of choice in landscape services. Health insurance. Retirement plans. Paid time off. Safety training. Leadership development. A career ladder that doesn't dead-end at "senior crew member." When an owner joins Solscape, their people get access to resources that a $1.5M company can't provide on its own but a $30M platform can.

For Customers

We're building the vendor that property managers stop looking to replace. Showing up when we say we will, 52 weeks a year. Proactive communication, not excuses. Service reports, SLA tracking, and a single point of contact who actually picks up the phone. The kind of professional accountability that this industry talks about but rarely delivers.

This industry is full of owners who spent decades building real businesses. Committed to their customers, loyal to their employees, beautifying the world around them. Those businesses deserve better than a roll-up that strips the name off the truck and cuts the crew's hours. Solscape exists to honor that legacy by bringing these operations together under a platform that invests in people, preserves what founders built, and makes each operation better than it could be on its own.

Starting in Indianapolis.
Built to grow from here.

A phased approach that proves the model locally before expanding. Nothing is assumed. Every phase earns the next one.

Now: Foundation
Prove the model in Indianapolis
Launch the Solscape platform. Acquire 1-2 commercial maintenance operations as the foundation. Stand up the technology stack, shared services infrastructure, and operating playbook. Apply the Solscape design system to each company's existing brand. Everything here is designed to replicate.
$5-8M Revenue target
12-18 mo Timeline
Next: Regional Partners
Bring on operators across the Midwest
Partner with 3-5 operators in adjacent metros. Each company keeps its name and identity. Replicate the platform infrastructure, tech stack, and operating playbook. Build route density and procurement leverage. Start cross-selling design-build into commercial relationships.
$15-25M Revenue target
18-36 mo Timeline
Then: Regional Platform
Build the dominant Midwest platform
Expand across the region with consistent operational performance and professional identity in every market. Develop multi-market account capability with institutional property managers. By this point the technology, operator network, and design-build differentiation create something that no roll-up can replicate and no single operator can match alone.
