Chenmark rolls up fragmented landscaping industry with aging owners

After buying a Portland-based landscaping/property-services business, Chenmark received unsolicited inbound from sellers in the highly fragmented, aging-owner landscaping industry and executed a series of acquisitions across geographies.

“that industry is incredibly fragmented and has a lot of aging owners. And so once we had a presence in that industry, we started getting a lot of basically unsolicited inbound for people who wanted to sell.”
