United Land Services, a commercial and residential landscape services platform backed by Centre Partners and LP First Capital, announced four strategic acquisitions which closed in 2025, adding significant scale to the business.
Since the platform was formed in September 2020, United has completed 25 acquisitions, built a highly scalable operating model and increased revenue more than six times while expanding its geographic reach and service capabilities, according to the company.
“United has built a highly scalable platform rooted in local expertise and institutional operating discipline,” said Ray Leach, United’s CEO. “Our growth reflects a deliberate strategy focused on partnering with best-in-class operators, expanding service density in attractive markets and delivering consistent, high-quality outcomes for our customers. We are excited to welcome four new businesses into our platform in 2025. With decades of expertise providing landscape, tree and rust removal services, these additions further strengthen United’s breadth of service offerings and enhance our ability to serve national, regional and local customers.”
In 2025, United partnered with four founder-led, complementary businesses that enhance its service capabilities, increase geographic density and expand its overall footprint:
- Wrightsville Beach Landscaping, a Wilmington, N.C.-based provider of landscape services and complementary addition to United’s existing footprint in Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham, N.C.
- H&O Grounds, a Baton Rouge and New Orleans, La.-based provider of landscaping maintenance services, marking United’s first branch location in Louisiana.
- Custom Tree Surgeons, a Jacksonville, Fla.-based provider of tree trimming, tree removal, stump grinding and emergency tree services, providing further depth to United’s existing tree services in North Florida.
- A provider of rust removal system installation and maintenance services across South and Central Florida to commercial customers, expanding United’s ancillary irrigation capabilities.
Currently, United is ranked among the top 20 largest landscaping companies in the United States and among the top 10 in the Southeast, with a growing network of more than 30 branches across six states in the Southeast and South-Central United States. The company is ranked No. 17 on the 2025 LM150.
“United has grown rapidly with a customer-first mindset by partnering with experienced local operators and investing in scalable infrastructure,” said Jeff Bartoli, a senior partner at Centre Partners. “United has a strong foundation to support continued organic growth and future acquisitions while maintaining its commitment to high-quality service. With a strong acquisition pipeline and road map for growth, United is well positioned to continue expanding its footprint and service capabilities in 2026 and beyond.”
Terms of the transactions were not disclosed.
