Boulder Landscaping Acquired By Strata Landscape Services

When a business owner decides to sell, it’s more than just a financial transaction—it’s the culmination of years of work, client relationships, and growth. That’s why we were proud to represent Boulder Landscaping in its acquisition by Strata Landscape Services, a rapidly growing landscaping platform backed by Align Capital Partners.

The deal, which was covered by Crunchbase, reflects a larger trend of consolidation in the landscaping industry. It also demonstrates how strategic acquisitions (like this one highlighted in Yahoo! Finance) can open new opportunities for both buyer and seller.

A Strategic Move in the Landscaping Industry

Boulder Landscaping has earned its reputation for delivering exceptional service, creative outdoor solutions, and high-quality workmanship. By joining forces with Strata Landscape Services, the company gains access to expanded resources, a broader client network, and the operational support of a larger organization.

As noted in AINvest’s coverage of the deal, Align Capital Partners’ investment positions Strata, and now Boulder, for sustained growth in a competitive market. This partnership creates new opportunities for team members, customers, and the communities they serve.

Guiding Boulder Through the Sale Process

Selling a business involves far more than signing on the dotted line—it’s a detailed process that requires preparation, negotiation, and coordination.

"Selling a business is a big decision, and having SPZ Legal by our side gave us complete confidence throughout the process. Their expertise and guidance ensured that every detail was handled with care," shared Wray Dix, CEO.

The SPZ Legal team supporting this acquisition included Ryan Shaening Pokrasso, Becky Mancero, and Tami Gore. They worked closely with Boulder Landscaping to navigate every stage of the transaction, including:

Preparing corporate records, contracts, and compliance matters in advance of negotiations.
Negotiating the letter of intent to align on key deal terms and protect the seller’s priorities.
Managing due diligence by responding to buyer requests and organizing disclosures.
Drafting and reviewing the purchase agreement, disclosure schedules, and related documents.
Coordinating closing logistics to ensure a smooth transfer of ownership.

Our role was to make sure Boulder’s interests were protected while moving the deal forward efficiently.

"From negotiations to closing, SPZ Legal advocated for Boulder every step of the way. We’re grateful for their professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to our goals."

Why Legal Guidance Matters in Acquisitions

For many small business owners, selling a company is a once-in-a-lifetime decision. Without experienced legal guidance, it’s easy to overlook critical terms, underestimate diligence requirements, or miss opportunities to strengthen the deal.

By working with a legal team experienced in mergers and acquisitions, sellers can:

Identify and address potential issues before they become obstacles.
Negotiate terms that protect both immediate proceeds and long-term interests.
Keep the transaction on track while maintaining confidentiality.

"SPZ Legal wasn’t just our law firm—they were a trusted partner in this transaction. Their strategic advice and attention to detail were instrumental in achieving a successful outcome."
