Mariani Premier Group acquired Liliput, a Los Angeles area landscaping company. Liliput is the 25th company to join the Mariani Premier Group since its inception four years ago. This acquisition marks the Mariani Premier Group’s first entry into California, one of the largest landscaping markets in the United States, in a deal that was finalized in the latter part of 2024.
Liliput, founded in 2003 by Erik McMorrow, later expanded when Erik’s brother Brian McMorrow joined in 2007. He focused attention to detail that plays an integral role in Liliput’s installations. They specialize in serving residential clients throughout Los Angeles County, including Beverly Hills, Bel Air and Santa Monica. Like many businesses in the Los Angeles area, Liliput and its clients were impacted by the recent wildfires. Fortunately, the business was unharmed and the company has actively been helping the communities it serves recover from the damage and take steps to prevent future fires.
“We are thrilled that the Liliput team has joined forces with Mariani Premier Group and are committed to the long term future of the Los Angeles area,” said Bryan Christiansen, CEO of Mariani Premier Group. “This milestone acquisition strengthens our position as a national leader in the landscaping industry and sets the stage for future growth in California’s major markets.”
“Joining the Mariani Premier Group just makes sense at this stage in our growth as a company,” said Liliput’s Erik McMorrow. “This move will position us well for future success. Additionally, we are thrilled to be the first California-based company to join the Mariani Premier Group on their meteoric rise to the top of the green industry.”
Liliput offers services including garden management, horticulture, irrigation, water management, integrated pest management, lighting, tree care, general maintenance and installation. The company’s dedication to sustainability and a client-focused approach aligns with the Mariani Premier Group’s values, according to the companies.
