Welcome to Oak Tree Industries. We are a privately held strategic holding company that acquires and operates well-established green service businesses across the United States for the long-term. We provide a permanent home for our family of brands, building value over time by retaining earnings and reinvesting in each company.

Our mission is to build a portfolio of well-managed, high cash-flowing green service businesses. Through acquisition and partnership, we aim to become a top 10 lawn and landscape firm, creating extraordinary value for our group companies and clients.

We operate a decentralized business model, allowing each company’s management team to operate independently and with broad autonomy. This enables our portfolio brands to achieve strong financial returns by retaining highly skilled and experienced management teams with attractive incentives and providing capital support.

The Oak Tree Industries brand strategy is unique to the industry, as we retain the name, logo and trademarks associated with each business at the time of the acquisition. We are committed to preserving the goodwill and long-standing customer relationships local businesses have built and see the value in maintaining local and regional branding.
