## Story

Landscape Workshop has acquired Landcrafters, expanding its presence in Tampa, Florida.

Michael Tomaino, the head gardener of Landcrafters, has joined Landscape Workshop as general manager.

Landcrafters’ commercial operations team, which was instrumental in building the company’s commercial platform, will continue leading the commercial business locally as part of Landscape Workshop.

> "Michael and his team have built a disciplined operation and strong reputation across the Tampa area," says J.T. Price, CEO of Landscape Workshop. "The quality of their services and the strength of the customer relationships stood out to us, and we’re pleased to welcome them to the LW team. We appreciate Michael’s partnership with us and are pleased to continue to position Landscape Workshop as the acquirer of choice for commercial landscape business owners."

> “We’re excited to join Landscape Workshop and continue building the commercial business our team has grown from the ground up,” Tomaino says. “Our commercial team will continue leading the business locally, and Landscape Workshop gives us a broader platform, deeper resources, and more opportunity to expand while continuing to deliver for our customers.”

LW operates from more than 50 locations across Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
