Fort Myers landscaping firm expands out of Florida for first time

Fort Myers-based Juniper Landscaping has acquired Shooter and Lindsey Inc., a landscaping maintenance and installation provider serving the greater Houston market.

Financial terms of the deal, which marks Juniper’s first acquisition outside Florida, weren’t disclosed. Shooter and Lindsey President Brian Schmitt, according to a statement, will remain a co-owner and continue to lead the branch, with support from Juniper’s corporate team in Florida. Juniper, with $170 million in revenue in 2022, was ranked among the 20 largest landscaping companies in the United States by Landscape Management magazine on the 2023 LM150 list. 

“Partnering with Shooter provides Juniper with an excellent opportunity to build a platform for further expansion across Texas,” Juniper CEO Brandon Duke says in the release. “Brian has built an outstanding business and we are looking forward to welcoming his talented team to the Juniper family.”
