Atlanta‑based commercial landscaping firm HighGrove announced it has purchased Lawn Enforcement Agency, a deal backed by private‑equity sponsor Agellus. The acquisition folds the smaller provider into HighGrove’s platform, expanding its southeastern footprint and adding services for commercial properties, schools and municipalities. Neither party disclosed the price, but the move broadens the client base.

HighGrove has pursued a growth strategy focused on adding specialists, a trend echoed across the landscaping sector as firms seek economies of scale. Backed by Agellus, the company has access to capital that enables it to integrate operations and negotiate larger contracts. These synergies are expected to lift annual revenue by double‑digits. The addition of Lawn Enforcement Agency adds 150 service crews and municipal accounts.

Clients can expect a broader menu of maintenance and design services under a single point of contact, while suppliers may see tighter pricing negotiations. Industry observers note that the merger could prompt other mid‑size landscapers to explore similar exits. The merger consolidates market share and strengthens pricing power with developers. With the transaction now closed, HighGrove positions itself as a leading provider in the region.
