LOS ANGELES-Commercial real estate landscaping company, the Brickman Group recently acquired a Gardena-based, family-owned company, Dworsky Landscape Services, which currently services commercial properties such as Hughes Center, Sun America and Equity Office Properties. As GlobeSt.com previously reported, the acquisition adds 1,000 employees and four new L.A.-area offices to Brickman’s docket. GlobeSt.com recently spoke more in depth with Mike Bogan, executive vice president of the Brickman Group, on the deal, and on the world of commercial landscaping.
GlobeSt.com: How does this entrance in the L.A. market affect Brickman’s nationwide growth and acquisition strategy?
Bogan: Acquisitions are not a major driver of our growth. As a result, in a typical year, we only do a couple of them. We don’t expect the Los Angeles acquisition to cause any deviation off of that pace. We do, however, expect it to have a very positive effect on our long-term growth. Brickman’s strategy is and always has been to focus on organic growth: taking great care of our existing customers and gaining more customers in those markets.
