## Story

Riverview Landscapes has acquired Giannini Landscaping and Holiday Lighting by Giannini, a commercial landscaping, holiday lighting, and snow management provider headquartered in Lindenhurst, New York. This transaction marks Riverview’s first branch location on Long Island proper.

The company was founded in 1977 by Mitch Giannini. Mike Kaplan, a former long-time employee of Giannini, acquired the business in 2019 to accelerate growth and expand its service offerings.

> This acquisition not only establishes our first physical presence on Long Island proper but also strengthens our ability to grow organically in the region. With Giannini’s in-house holiday lighting expertise, Riverview will be able to expand this offering during the winter months.

The Lindenhurst location will serve as Riverview’s West Suffolk County branch, joining Riverview’s New York region. The branch will continue operations under the leadership of Mike Laudando, a 20-plus year veteran of Giannini who has served in account management and operations roles.

> We’re excited to join Riverview and build on the strong foundation that has been established over the past several decades. This partnership provides new resources and opportunities for our team while ensuring we continue delivering the high-quality service our customers expect.

In addition to its New York region, Riverview operates in Northern New Jersey, Southern New Jersey, and New England.
