LMC Landscape Partners is proud to announce the strategic acquisition of Shinto Landscaping, a leading full-service landscape maintenance and installation company based in Boca Raton, Florida. This partnership represents an important step in strengthening LMC’s presence across South Florida and advancing our commitment to supporting founder led commercial landscaping businesses throughout the southeastern United States.

Shinto Landscaping has built a strong reputation serving commercial properties and community developments across Miami Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties. Known for operational discipline, consistent service delivery, and a commitment to client satisfaction, Shinto brings both scale and expertise to the LMC platform.

This acquisition further reinforces LMC Landscape Partners’ long term strategy of building a regional network of high-quality commercial landscaping companies while preserving the identity and leadership that make each partner successful.

Strengthening South Florida Operations

South Florida remains one of the most dynamic commercial landscaping markets in the country. Rapid development, diverse property types, and year-round maintenance demands create opportunity for companies with strong operational infrastructure and experienced leadership.

Shinto Landscaping’s deep local relationships and proven performance history make it a natural fit within the LMC platform. By joining forces, LMC expands its operating footprint while reinforcing its ability to serve commercial clients at scale across the region.

Shinto’s leadership team will continue to play an active role within LMC’s South Florida operations. This continuity ensures that employees and clients experience stability while gaining access to additional resources and institutional support.

Building on Operational Excellence

Prior to joining LMC Landscape Partners, Shinto Landscaping was backed by Leykar Investments. During that period, the company implemented significant operational improvements, expanded its customer base, and strengthened its management infrastructure. These enhancements positioned Shinto for its next phase of growth.

Under the LMC platform, Shinto will benefit from shared services, operational expertise, and strategic guidance designed to accelerate long term success. At the same time, the company will maintain its brand identity and local leadership, which have been central to its performance.

Jay Leyva, Chief Executive Officer of Shinto Landscaping, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, noting that both organizations are strategically and culturally aligned. He emphasized that the relationship will provide additional resources and opportunities to continue building Shinto for the future while enhancing the workplace environment for employees.

Expanding the LMC Family of Brands

With the addition of Shinto Landscaping, LMC Landscape Partners continues to strengthen its regional platform. The LMC family of brands now includes Woodlake Outdoor, LMC Houston, ALM Commercial Landscaping, Cutters Edge, Embark Services, and Shinto Landscaping.

Each partner company contributes unique regional expertise while benefiting from the collective strength of the platform. This model allows founder led businesses to preserve their culture and local market identity while accessing the resources of a larger organization.

Chief Executive Officer Trey Brock highlighted the significance of this partnership, noting that Shinto’s experienced leadership team and strong values further enhance LMC’s position in the South Florida market. The acquisition aligns with LMC’s broader vision of building a leading network of commercial landscaping companies across the Southeast.

Supporting Founder Led Landscaping Companies

LMC Landscape Partners, a portfolio company of Trivest Partners, was created to support founder and family-owned commercial landscaping companies. By providing capital, shared services, and operational support, LMC enables operators to accelerate growth without sacrificing the legacy they have built.

The addition of Shinto Landscaping demonstrates LMC’s ongoing commitment to partnering with high performing businesses that value culture, operational excellence, and long-term sustainability.

With Trivest Partners managing approximately six billion dollars in assets and focused exclusively on founder led and family-owned businesses, LMC is well positioned to continue expanding its footprint throughout the southeastern United States.

Final Thoughts

The acquisition of Shinto Landscaping marks another milestone in LMC Landscape Partners’ growth journey. By strengthening our presence in South Florida and welcoming a respected regional leader to the platform, we continue advancing our mission of supporting commercial landscaping businesses at scale.

As LMC expands its network across the Southeast, our focus remains consistent. We invest in people, preserve culture, and build operational excellence that supports long term success.

For founder led landscaping companies seeking partnership opportunities, LMC Landscape Partners continues to actively explore relationships across the southeastern United States.
