Ethoscapes, a landscape maintenance and installation business, acquired Houston Landscapes Unlimited, a commercial landscape and irrigation contractor.
Houston Landscapes Unlimited joins the Ethoscapes family of brands, which include Westco Grounds Maintenance, Champions Hydro-Lawn, Outdoor Development and Tree60. The brands combine to now include over 700 personnel and serve over 600 commercial, municipal and residential clients in the Houston metropolitan area.
Dean Carpenter founded the company in 1983, in the years since it has grown to serve customers including NRG Park, the University of Houston Athletics Department, Space Cowboys Stadium, various retail and office parks and established communities including First Colony, Riverstone, Telfair, Imperial, Aliana, Cinco Ranch and Meridiana Community.
“We are delighted to welcome HLU to the Ethoscapes family. Their stellar reputation and dedication to excellence align perfectly with our values and vision for the future,” said Manny González, CEO of Ethoscapes. “This acquisition strengthens our position in the market and enhances our ability to provide comprehensive landscaping solutions to customers.”
Ethoscapes is a portfolio company of Evolution Strategy Partners, which played a critical role in the acquisition of Houston Landscapes Unlimited.
“This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone in Ethoscapes’ expansion efforts and underscores its commitment to partnering with companies who deliver unparalleled quality and service,” said Stenning Schueppert, managing partner of Evolution. “I have no doubt that Houston Landscapes Unlimited will provide the same level of top-tier landscaping services backed by a team of skilled professionals as all of Ethoscapes’ landscaping brands.”
