Visterra Landscape Group partnered with Texas Landscape Group (TLG), a Houston-based provider of commercial landscape services. This partnership expands Visterra’s footprint across Texas, establishes Houston as a major regional operation and creates one of the state’s largest commercial landscaping platforms with operations spanning all major metropolitan areas across the state.
Founded in 2013 by Carla Sebesta and Jeff Washbrook, TLG has become a Houston expert in large-scale Homeowners Association (HOA) landscape management and enhancement services. The company serves some of the region’s most renowned master-planned communities and provides landscape maintenance and installation services to a range of commercial properties, including industrial, retail, office, municipal and multifamily sites. Over the past 12 years, TLG has grown from a small startup to a market leader with four branches across the Houston MSA and hundreds of employees, many of whom have been with the company since its founding.
“After building TLG for more than a decade, Jeff and I knew that joining forces with Visterra would allow us to continue our legacy while expanding opportunities for our people, customers, and the greater Houston community,” said Carla Sebesta, co-founder of TLG. “Visterra’s investment allows us to keep our identity, our culture, and the relationships we’ve built, while gaining access to new capabilities and resources that will take our business—and our team—to the next level.”
“Our success has always been driven by our people and the trust of our clients. Partnering with Visterra ensures we can continue delivering the quality and reliability our clients expect while providing capital investment to accelerate our ability to capitalize on growth across the region, as well as providing expanded career opportunities and benefits to our employees who have helped build this company alongside us,” said Jeff Washbrook, co-founder of TLG.
Alan T. Handley, president and CEO of Visterra Landscape Group, called the partnership a pivotal moment in Visterra’s history.
“Carla, Jeff, and their exceptional team have built one of the most respected landscape companies in Texas. Their deep expertise in managing large-scale properties and communities, combined with a strong people-first culture, makes TLG a perfect fit for Visterra,” Handley said. “This partnership more than doubles our presence in Texas and positions our combined organization at the forefront of servicing the vast communities, clients, markets, and stakeholders across the Lone Star State. We are thrilled to welcome all TLG employees and customers alike as we ignite the next chapter of the TLG legacy.”
TLG marks Visterra’s fifth partnership of 2025 and 11th since its founding in 2022. Visterra’s family of partner companies includes Outdoor Pride, Riverside Services and Herzog Landscape Solutions in the Northeast; Dyna-Mist and Texas Landscape Group in the South; and Oberson’s, GroundsPRO, Full Care, H&M Landscaping, Cru Cutters and Loyet Landscape serving the greater Midwest.
