Oberson's Nursery and Landscape

What Oberson's Nursery and Landscape does

Oberson's Nursery and Landscape is a family-owned commercial exterior services company headquartered in Hamilton, Ohio, founded in 2000 by Chad Oberson and the Oberson Family in Fairfield. The company operates across three regional offices serving Cincinnati, Columbus, and Louisville, covering Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, and offers seven core services: landscape maintenance and installation, snow and ice removal, landscape construction (hardscapes, rooftop gardens, fountains), portering and lot cleaning, parking lot sweeping, pressure and power washing, and tree removal. Its operating model combines a top-100-ranked U.S. snow removal fleet, certified arborists and snow professionals, ISO-certified operating procedures, and specialized equipment for large sites exceeding one million square feet, enabling it to act as a single-vendor exterior services bundler for commercial property owners, commercial real estate managers, government agencies, and national general contractors.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with dedicated representatives in each market conducting site visits, producing customized estimates, and supporting multi-year maintenance, recurring seasonal, and project-based contracts. Pricing is fully quote-based and tailored to property square footage, service frequency, and scope, with billing on monthly recurring, multi-year, or pay-as-you-go cadences depending on service line. Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring maintenance contracts, snow removal triggered by weather events, project-based landscape construction as a subcontractor to national GCs such as Turner Construction and Alford, and bundled exterior services contracts.

Oberson's is a partner company within the Visterra Landscape Group, an investor-backed landscape services holding company, which provides ESG reporting infrastructure (Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions accounting) and broader governance frameworks. Notable commercial relationships span State of Ohio, ODOT, Ohio Department of Safety, Schottenstein Arena, Schottenstein SBP Property Group, Colliers, Pizzuti, Cushman & Wakefield, General Electric, Turner Construction, Alford, Messer, Hiffman, and Ohio Expo Center, while the company holds NALP Safety Gold and Silver awards, NALP Awards of Excellence, Best Places to Work 2025 recognition, and Top 100 Snow Company status for five consecutive years.
