“ With their help, we moved into the Seattle market and had great success, later expanding into a West Coast-Southwest organization,” he continues.“ We’ ve now partnered with a company in Texas and are excited to do so with another company in California very soon. Now, as I prepare to retire at some point, I feel very comfortable that we’ ve created opportunity for our team and will be able to maintain our brand and culture for the long term. It’ s been a great five years.”
Expansion strategy
Through a strategic blend of organic and acquisitive growth, Pacific Landscape continues to expand into new markets. The decision to bring on an equity partner has laid the foundations for a more intentional, regionally focused long-term strategy, suitably balancing expansion with a commitment to preserving strong local brands amongst the company’ s existing legacy.
“ Our growth strategy is centered around the Pacific Northwest, specifically within the Portland and Seattle markets,” Bob elaborates.“ We’ d operated in Portland for 20 years, but we had several customers that also had properties in Seattle and were frequently asking when we were going to expand into the region, so it was a natural move for us. When we expanded to Seattle, we acquired a couple of companies and rebranded them to Pacscape, as there was already a brand with our name in the Seattle market. At that point, our acquisition strategy beyond the Northwest was to partner with great brands that had great reputations, so we created the parent company Osprey Landscaping Group. For instance, when we moved into the Texas market, we partnered with a company called Earthworks Landscape and were able to retain their brand.”
This disciplined approach to expansion and brand integration has laid a solid foundation for the company’ s long-term
