CASE STUDY
Bob Grover and Elias Godinez, of Pacific Landscape Management, were looking for a way to harvest their company but they wanted to make sure the seeds that they planted would continue to grow.
So they contacted us.
What started small grew into a formidable business
“When Elias Godinez and I started Pacific Landscape Management 23 years ago, our goal was simply to build a landscaping company that did excellent work for customers and took care of employees. We created a thriving culture focused on quality, service, and people - not pursuing exit plans or major expansion.
With our teams’ skill and care, Pacific grew rapidly over the course of two decades. It became clear that our plans for the future were about far more than Elias and I - it was about preserving and enhancing the careers of over 40 loyal managers who helped us flourish.”
Our people and our culture were our top priority
“As founders approaching retirement, we evaluated various transition options to sustain our life’s work. Forming an ESOP or buyout offered appealing value but would not sufficiently reward our teams’ efforts. We were afraid that a large corporate buyer could gut our culture.
We chose Osprey Landscape Group, backed by Southfield Capital, as our partner and minority investor. They share our values, want to nurture our legacy by retaining managers, and provide resources to continue thriving. Within the Osprey group, we can focus completely on excellent landscaping while positioning loyal teams for career growth and profit shares.”
The partnership enabled expansion into Seattle and empowered their managers continues career growth opportunities and expansion of their great service regionally. Two years later, Bob and Elias are excited to work with the Osprey Landscape Group to expand south into the Southwest. “Our team is more excited and energized with this new frontier we are embarking upon,” said Bob.
The future is better than anything we could’ve imagined
Two years later, the Pacific and Osprey partnership empowers our managers to provide great service, enables Elias and I to plan thoughtful transitions, and gives everyone a secure, values-based home for the long term. We’re honored to have our life’s work live on this way.
Follow in Elias and Bob's footsteps:
“We’re not your typical corporate conglomerate. Our approach is curated and adaptable. We move deliberately, selecting leaders who share our dedication to quality, solution-based customer service, employee development, and innovation. ”
