What Juniper does
Juniper Landscaping of Florida, LLC is a privately held, Bregal Partners-backed commercial landscaping services company headquartered in Fort Myers, Florida. Founded in 2003 and acquired by current CEO Brandon Duke in 2016, the company has grown from a single 20-employee operation to 34 branch locations across five southeastern states (Florida, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania) with more than 3,200 team members. Juniper operates a full-service Design, Build, and Maintain platform serving residential developers, homebuilders (including D.R. Horton and MI Homes), commercial property managers, and homeowner/property owner associations; it is ranked the 17th largest U.S. landscaper by Lawn and Landscape and has appeared on the Top 100 list for seven consecutive years.
The company's service lines cover landscape architecture and planning, irrigation and hardscape construction, and ongoing maintenance (mowing, pruning, irrigation management, pest control, fertilization). It supplements field operations with two internal assets: Juniper Farms, an Estero, Florida-based nursery growing trees, palms, shrubs, flowers, and sod for internal supply, and Juniper Sync, a proprietary CRM/client portal for account management. The technology stack is operational rather than AI-enabled; Juniper Sync is described in terms of CRM and client access, not machine learning, and IT infrastructure is supported externally by CSPi Technology Solutions.
Juniper's revenue model combines subscription-like recurring maintenance contracts (commercial properties, HOAs, and POAs — typically multi-year) with project-based design/build revenue (hardscape, irrigation, lighting, and sod installation). Pricing is quote-based and varies by property size and scope. Since the January 2022 Bregal Partners platform investment, Juniper has pursued an aggressive acquisition strategy, completing at least eight acquisitions through 2026 (including Flawless Lawncare & Landscaping, Shooter and Lindsey, Yohe's, Rip's & Elegant, Davis Landscape, LMP, and Hilton Head Landscapes), with a stated intent to continue rolling up local operators across the Sunbelt. The company reported 38.6% revenue growth during the COVID-19 pandemic and integrates acquired entities while typically retaining local brand identity and leadership.
