Spillane's Nursery and Landscape

What Spillane's Nursery and Landscape does

Spillane's Nursery and Landscape, Inc. is a vertically integrated full-service landscaping company headquartered in Middleboro, Massachusetts. Founded by Timothy F. Spillane in 1978 as a small seasonal retail yard, the company has expanded over more than four decades into a multi-division operation spanning a retail garden center and gift shop at 230 Bedford Street, a wholesale nursery farm at 182 Plymouth Street with 50 acres of growing capacity and 40,000 square feet of greenhouses, and a landscape services division covering construction, maintenance, hardscapes, irrigation, and snow and ice management. Operations rely on physical infrastructure — heavy equipment, irrigation systems, greenhouse propagation — and relationships with 250+ external nurseries rather than on any proprietary software platform, AI, or digital product.

The company generates revenue through five distinct streams: retail garden center sales (one-time transactions for plant material, mulch, seed, sod, and gift items), project-based landscape construction (design through installation for residential and commercial clients), recurring maintenance contracts (turf and shrub care, seasonal cleanups), seasonal snow and ice management services, and wholesale nursery sales to other landscape contractors and trade customers. Pricing across service lines is uniformly quote-based with no publicly disclosed rates; customers engage through the website, phone, or in-person at the retail location, and services are delivered on-site throughout southeastern Massachusetts.

Spillane's serves a hybrid customer base spanning residential property owners (primary, served via the garden center and direct maintenance contracts), commercial property managers and enterprises (Stop & Shop across six locations, Marriott Hotels, Gillette Packaging Facility, Ocean Spray HQ, Avalon Bay communities), and trade buyers purchasing wholesale plant material. The enterprise is family-owned, with the founder as President and his son serving as Vice President, supported by a Director of Operations; the company employs approximately 100 team members and reports no external institutional ownership, funding history, or M&A activity.
