Regional players

• Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture: Bay Area (San Francisco) luxury residential and estate landscape architecture firm.

• BrightView Landscapes: Largest commercial and residential landscape services company in the US, including the legacy Brickman brand. Comparable as a landscaping services incumbent with significant maintenance revenue and multi-region scale, though service mix is dominated by commercial and mid-market accounts.

Closest comparable in integrated design-build-maintain model and affluent residential segment; operates at materially greater scale and footprint than a Blade of Grass.
