Mariani Premier Group, one of the nation’s largest high-end residential landscaping firms, has acquired Portland, Ore.-based Landscape East & West, marking the company’s first expansion into the Pacific Northwest.
Founded in Lake Bluff, Ill., Mariani has steadily grown its national network through acquisitions of established regional firms known for quality and customer service. Adding Landscape East & West, a 40-year-old company serving Portland’s upscale neighborhoods including Lake Oswego, Northwest Portland, and Dunthorpe, furthers this approach, according to the company.
The newly acquired firm offers comprehensive design-build and maintenance services, including irrigation, masonry, carpentry and outdoor lighting. It has also adopted digital platforms like Aspire and GeoTab to streamline operations, which aligns with Mariani’s own emphasis on tech-enabled service delivery.
“This acquisition solidifies our presence in a growing market and positions us to elevate service quality across a wider geography,” said Bryan Christiansen, CEO of Mariani Premier Group.
Steve Stewart, president of Landscape East & West, noted that joining Mariani brings more resources for both clients and employees. “We’ll gain broader tools and better support while maintaining the craftsmanship clients know us for.”
The move continues Mariani’s strategy of building a national footprint through partnerships with leading regional firms, including those in the Midwest, Southeast and Sunbelt. The premium residential landscaping industry has seen increased consolidation in recent years, with demand rising for regionally tailored services that maintain national-level standards.
As Mariani ramps up nationwide, local identity remains a key component of its acquisition model, a trend likely to persist as more regional firms seek scalable growth without losing community roots.
