Prince and Sons

What Prince and Sons does

Prince and Sons Inc. is a second-generation, family-owned provider of landscaping, commercial lawn maintenance, and light construction services headquartered in Haines City, Florida, with additional branch offices in Tampa and Orlando. Founded in 1989 and currently led by Managing President and Owner Ian Prince, the company serves three primary customer segments: residential home builders (including D.R. Horton, Lennar, Pulte Homes, Ryan Homes, Casa Fresca Homes, Richmond American Homes, and Henkelman), commercial property owners and managers (property management firms, HOAs, community development districts, college campuses, parks, and golf courses), and municipal/civic entities (Haines City Parks Department, City of Winter Haven). The company reports having served thousands of homes for residential builders in Central Florida across more than 35 years of operation.

The company's core service portfolio consists of three integrated lines: Commercial Landscape Maintenance (ongoing grounds care for commercial portfolios and public spaces), Landscape & Irrigation (design, installation, and ongoing maintenance, including smart irrigation systems marketed for water efficiency and precise hydration), and Light Construction (site preparation services including clearing, backfilling, final grading, and driveway cut-outs for residential builders). Technology adoption centers on smart irrigation hardware rather than a broader software platform; the company does not publish proprietary technical documentation and has no disclosed patents or AI/ML capabilities.

The business model is entirely direct and quote-based, with no public pricing tiers. Revenue is generated through two mechanics: project-based fees for installation and light construction work, and recurring service contracts for ongoing commercial maintenance. GTM is relationship-led, anchored by enterprise builder relationships, direct outreach to property managers, competitive bidding on municipal projects, and a website serving as a digital touchpoint with a "Contact for a Free Estimate" capture form. The company reports no external funding, no acquisitions or divestitures, and operates as an independent, founder-controlled entity with 11–50 employees across three Florida locations.
