Landscape Workshop acquired certain assets of Bayou Lawn & Landscape Services in Valparaiso, Fla.
Landscape Workshop will now have 10 branch locations throughout the Southeast. The company, based in Vestavia Hills, Ala., ranked No. 53 on the 2018 LM150 list.
Bayou Lawn & Landscape was founded in 1995 by Matt Schwab. Jim Allen purchased the company in 1999. Allen is now selling the company and certain assets to Landscape Workshop due to Landscape Workshop’s 35-year record of professionalism, the company said. Allen plans to stay on board throughout the transition period, and Bayou’s Bruce Kennedy will join the Landscape Workshop team as an account manager.
Through this acquisition, Landscape Workshop will expand its presence in the Florida panhandle and is fully committed to providing all existing and new customers with high quality service and proactive management.
Investment bank Benchmark International and the Anchors Smith Grimsley law firm represented Bayou in the transaction. Bradley served as Landscape Workshop’s legal counsel.
