LMC Landscape Partners Acquires Nash Landscaping for LMC Houston

What happened

LMC Landscape Partners, a portfolio company of Trivest Partners, announced on October 6, 2026, that it had acquired Nash Landscaping, a commercial lawn and landscape maintenance company serving the Houston area. The release describes the deal as LMC Houston, the platform's existing operation in the market, adding experienced landscape professionals, customer relationships, and operational resources from Nash, and says it provides continuity for Nash customers and employees.

The same release announced LMC's acquisition of Helping Hand Lawn Care, a full-service commercial landscaping company that establishes LMC's presence in Central Florida. Helping Hand will keep operating under its own brand, with its employees and leadership joining LMC's Florida operations under Regional Vice President Steven Brackin. The release makes no statement about whether the Nash name continues. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The seller

Nash, which operates as Nash Lawn and Landscaping Maintenance, serves Houston, Tomball, and Spring with commercial lawn maintenance, landscaping, and sprinkler repair. Its landscape work runs from sod, drainage, and seasonal color to paver installation. Jason and Lindy McNabb ran the company as its owners: Jason oversaw the crews, landscaping, and irrigation repairs, and Lindy handled the books and scheduling. Jason McNabb is a licensed irrigator in Texas.

Its commercial client list is built on churches, townhome and residential communities, and a handful of local businesses. It includes Bear Creek Church, Calvary Church, and Covenant Church Woodlands; Briarhurst Park Townhomes and Coles Crossing Townhomes; Lakewood Forest North HOA; Champion Property Management; and three Chick-fil-A restaurants, at Fairfield Town Center, Highway 290 and Spring Cypress, and Sawyer Heights.

"I'm excited about what this next chapter means for our employees and clients," Jason McNabb said in the release. "LMC Houston shares our commitment to strong relationships and great service, and I'm confident our team is in good hands."

The buyer

LMC Landscape Partners provides founder- and family-owned commercial landscaping companies with capital and shared services, and describes a partnership model that lets those companies keep their reputations, cultures, and legacies. Its stated offer to owners is 100% cash at close and a close in 60 days or faster. Chief Executive Officer Trey Brock leads the company. Trivest Partners, a Miami-headquartered private investment firm with approximately $6 billion in assets under management, is its sponsor.

LMC runs regional operations across Texas, Florida, and Alabama, and LMC Houston was already one of its brands by January 2024. In Florida, it entered the state that month with Cutters Edge Total Landscape Solutions in Davie and added Shinto Landscaping in Boca Raton in February 2026, before Helping Hand took it into Central Florida.

"These transactions reflect exactly how we intend to grow: by building density in priority markets and partnering with talented local teams that have earned the trust of their customers," Brock said. "Nash strengthens the capabilities of LMC Houston, while Helping Hand gives us a strong entry point into the Central Florida market."

What this means for landscaping owners

This release puts two structures side by side. The Central Florida company, LMC's entry into a new market, keeps its brand and leadership. The Houston deal, made where LMC already had a branch, is described in terms of the people and customer relationships LMC Houston gained, with no word on the Nash name.

For a maintenance operator in a market a platform already serves, Nash is the closer comparison: the value the release describes sits in the crews and the accounts, here churches, townhome communities, and restaurant sites, rather than in the brand. Whether the name survives is a term to settle in the letter of intent, not one to assume from a buyer's partnership language.
