Hatcher Landscape Partners acquires GreenView Partners, expands reach in Southeast
OLIVE BRANCH, Miss. – Hatcher Landscape Partners (HLP), a newly formed commercial landscape platform backed by Walnut Grove Capital Partners, has acquired GreenView Partners in a strategic move to expand its footprint across the Southeastern United States.
HLP brings together respected industry leaders Michael Hatcher & Associates and North Carolina-based GreenView Partners under a unified vision to deliver exceptional service, strengthen customer relationships, and invest in employees.
“This partnership is a transformational moment for our 600 team members,” said Russ Sneed, CEO of HLP. “What makes this acquisition unique is the alignment of culture between the two companies. We are integrating two high-performing, people-first teams into one unified platform with a shared vision for becoming the premier landscape service provider in the Southeast.”
Founded in 2010, GreenView Partners operates in Raleigh, Charlotte, Fayetteville, and Wilmington, specializing in landscape maintenance, irrigation, and enhancements. Michael Hatcher & Associates, based in Olive Branch, has been serving commercial clients since 1986 with landscape installation, irrigation, and maintenance, along with its Master Lawn brand serving Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
GreenView founder and CEO Darrin Hockstra will serve as HLP’s chief operating officer. He said the partnership will provide new opportunities for customers and employees.
“We built GreenView on a foundation of service, relationships, and care for our people,” Hockstra said. “Partnering with Michael Hatcher & Associates allows us to expand those values with new capabilities, broader resources, and deeper support.”
The companies say the acquisition will strengthen local teams while providing enhanced resources, technology, and training for employees. Customers will see expanded services and improved responsiveness without disruption to existing relationships.
Walnut Grove Capital Partners said the deal aligns with its strategy of investing in companies that prioritize people and culture while pursuing growth.
