Sheridan Landscaping acquires Whitbeck’s Treescape

PLYMOUTH, Mass. – Sheridan Landscaping – a hardscape, landscape and grounds maintenance company in Plymouth – acquired Whitbeck’s Treescape. Dale Whitbeck founded Whitbeck’s Treescape in 1992. The company served Plymouth and its surrounding area with landscaping, property maintenance and tree services.

Matt Sheridan, owner of Sheridan Landscaping, said he has known Whitbeck for several years. They had been in discussions about merging for a while, but the decision was finalized this past winter. With the acquisition, Whitbeck will stay on as the head of Sheridan Landscaping’s new maintenance division.

“Dale is an excellent manager,” Sheridan says. “He’s proven over the years that he knows how to run and oversee this type of business successfully. We’re all very excited to have him on as the operations manager of the maintenance division. He’s given us high hopes for the future.”

Sheridan says the acquisition came about because Sheridan’s customers have long been interested in contracting his company for maintenance work.

“For years, people have been asking us to maintain their hardscape and landscape projects after we complete them,” he said. “We’ve been wanting to offer maintenance services as a package deal for our larger projects, especially. Now we have the capability to do that, and we want to do more. We want to be able to offer maintenance services for every single one of our projects.”

Sheridan Landscaping has taken on most of Whitbeck’s commercial accounts as a result of the acquisition process, including the Old Sandwich Golf Club, Hilton, Bertucci’s and other commercial accounts located at a shopping center, Colony Place at Plymouth.

Sheridan said this key acquisition gives his company a good foundation to grow their maintenance services. He said Whitbeck’s many customers can also expect the same quality of service they received before, with more capabilities.

“People are excited because now they can go to the same contractor they’ve always trusted for much bigger projects. We can do hardscapes, lawn care, fertilizer, mulching, weeding, shrub planting, irrigation and more,” Sheridan said. “We’ve got more resources at our disposal than ever, so we’re ready to take on bigger jobs like subdivision maintenance and large commercial contracts. We want to take all the great work Whitbeck’s Treescape has done and make it bigger and better.”
