## Story

Juniper Landscaping has acquired Central Florida Lake Management, doing business as Compass Environmental, and Aquatic Weeds. Both companies are Central Florida-based providers of aquatic maintenance and related shoreline restoration services. Juniper is a portfolio company of Bregal Partners.

Aquatic Weeds is headquartered in St. Cloud, Florida, and provides aquatic maintenance, mechanical weed removal, and waterfront restoration services across Central Florida to residential associations, businesses, and individual customers.

Compass, based in Clermont, Florida, is an aquatic management and service provider. The company offers aquatic maintenance of ponds, lakes, and waterways, as well as dredging, shoreline restoration, and related pond and lake management services.

Together, the acquisitions of Aquatic Weeds and Compass create a scalable aquatic maintenance platform within Juniper and add complementary capabilities that can be offered to existing and new customers.

> "We are thrilled to welcome Compass and Aquatic Weeds to Juniper," says Brandon Duke, CEO of Juniper Landscaping. "These businesses add meaningful depth in aquatic maintenance, mechanical weed removal and shoreline restoration – areas where we see strong demand from our customer base. Together, they create a scalable platform for expanding these capabilities across Florida and give Juniper additional ways to serve homeowners' associations, commercial, government and other customers."
