About this listen
In this episode of TradesTalk, Justin White sits down with Christian Heaviland to unpack the evolution of a family landscaping business into a major acquisition by BrightView. Christian shares what it was like growing up in the green industry, the behind-the-scenes of selling a company, and how he’s navigating the current wave of private equity interest flooding the market.
They dig into the real challenges facing landscape companies today: labor shortages, tight margins, and the increasing pressure to operate as a low-cost provider. Christian breaks down why design-build services are gaining traction, how to position your business for exit, and why a strong M&A attorney can be your greatest asset.
Whether you're running a growing operation or planning your next strategic move, this episode is full of real-world insight on how to stay lean, stand out, and scale smart.
