LMC Acquires Prestige Landscape Services, Its Second DFW Deal

What happened

LMC Landscape Partners, a portfolio company of Trivest Partners, has acquired Prestige Landscape Services, a full-service landscape maintenance company based in Dallas. Lawn & Landscape reported the deal on April 13, 2026, and LMC issued its formal release over Business Wire on May 18. Prestige is LMC's seventh acquisition overall and its second in the Dallas–Fort Worth market, and its existing leadership team continues to support day-to-day operations. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The seller

Prestige was founded and is operated in North Texas, and it serves commercial properties across the DFW metroplex. Its focus is multifamily work, which it does in partnership with property management companies, and it describes itself as having more than 20 years of experience. The work is built on a weekly maintenance program, with seasonal color, irrigation and drainage, tree trimming, chemical services, enhancements and landscape design offered on top of it.

Scott McArthur founded the company. "LMC stood out to us for their approach to partnering with founder-owned businesses and their focus on supporting long-term growth," he said in the release. "This partnership provides additional resources for our team and positions us well to continue delivering for our customers."

Prestige joins LMC's family of brands under its own name, listed by LMC as a separate company alongside the others it has bought.

The buyer

LMC was formed through the acquisition of established commercial landscaping companies and is led by chief executive Trey Brock, who previously ran Lawn Management Company in Houston. Its brands operate in markets including Texas, Florida and Alabama, and Lawn & Landscape ranks it No. 31 on its Top 100 list. The deal before Prestige was Shinto Landscaping in Boca Raton, Florida, announced in February 2026.

In Dallas–Fort Worth, LMC already had its flagship: Woodlake Outdoor, a commercial landscaping company serving DFW and Austin. LMC says Prestige now supports and enhances Woodlake's operations in the market. "Prestige is a natural fit within our Dallas–Fort Worth operations," Brock said. "Their team and client base add meaningful depth, enhancing our ability to serve clients while supporting continued growth through shared resources and operational consistency."

LMC's pitch to owners is specific. It advertises 100% cash at close, closing in 60 days or faster, and a choice of role for the founder, and says acquired companies keep their name, brand and culture. Trivest, its sponsor, is a Miami-based private investment firm that invests only in founder-led and family-owned businesses, in both control and non-control deals, and manages about $6 billion in assets.

What this means for landscape maintenance owners

This was not a market entry. LMC already had a flagship in Dallas–Fort Worth, and it still bought a founder-run maintenance contractor in the same metroplex, kept the Prestige name, and put it to work alongside Woodlake. What Brock singled out was Prestige's team and its client base, not new territory.

For a DFW maintenance company whose book is multifamily work won through property managers, that is the relevant read: a buyer already operating in the market named the customer relationships as what the deal added. Those relationships belong to the property management companies that hire you, so how concentrated they are, and how long they have run, are the questions to have answered before a buyer asks them.

It also means the buyer calling a DFW owner can be one that already competes with them in the market. Before that conversation, it is worth knowing how the buyer will run your company next to its own local brand: which name the crews wear, who keeps the accounts, and whether your leadership team stays on day-to-day operations, as Prestige's does.
