Fort Myers-based Juniper Landscaping, ranked among the 15 largest landscaping companies in the country, recently announced expansion on two fronts: It acquired a pair of companies, both in Florida, and it won a major contract with the U.S. Air Force, also in the Sunshine State.
On the acquisitions, Juniper, according to a statement, purchased Panama City-based Rip’s Professional Lawn Care and Elegant Landscape & Design of Palm Beach Gardens, FL. Both companies specialize in landscape maintenance and installation. Financial terms of the acquisitions — which bring Juniper’s footprint to 28 branch locations across Florida and Texas — weren’t disclosed.
Juniper, with $144.5 million in revenue in 2023, also announced it’s finalized a major installation design, build and maintenance contract with Tyndall Air Force base in Panama City. The project took several years to work through concept and construction plans, company officials say. “This project will take approximately three years to complete and will provide a strong foundation for further growth in the Panhandle,” JuniperChief Revenue Officer Dan deMont says in the release.
