Visterra Landscape Group acquires Cleveland-based H&M Landscaping

Visterra Landscape Group, a commercial landscaping platform, has acquired Cleveland-based H&M Landscaping, which provides commercial landscape and snow and ice management services. The partnership with H&M extends Visterra's service reach across Ohio, western Pennsylvania and northeast Indiana.

H&M Landscape was founded in 1988 by CEO Mark Mazzurco and has earned more than two dozen high-profile accolades. The company is home to nearly 300 employees and supported by a leadership team with more than a century of combined experience in operational and client service excellence.

All H&M employees, including Mazzurco and his leadership team, will remain with Visterra in critical positions.

"Our history, reputation and legacy are tied to the hard work, passion and dedication of our people who have made H&M what we are today, and I couldn't be more proud of everything we have accomplished over the last four decades," Mazzurco says. "It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve the incredible people and organizations throughout all of northern Ohio including our employees, customers and other stakeholders who have been with us from our humble beginnings. While the decision to enter the next chapter of our lifecycle was not easy, I am confident the partnership with Visterra will create significant value for our people, customers and legacy."

Visterra Chief Executive Officer Alan Handley attributed H&M's success, and synergy with Visterra, to an alignment of shared values, and in particular, an employee-first culture and commitment to exceptional customer experiences.

"Mark's leadership, vision and passion have guided H&M's success over many decades, earning H&M a reputation as one of the most respected and successful commercial landscaping and snow and ice management providers in greater Cleveland and northern Ohio," Handley says. "We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Mark and all H&M employees and customers to the Visterra family. Together, we will continue to forge a culture that prioritizes employee wellbeing and customer satisfaction as we expand across the region and into new markets."

The acquisition of H&M Landscaping is Visterra's second in 2025 after the acquisition of Cru Cutters in January, and it's the seventh since its founding in 2022. Visterra was represented by legal counsel Much Shelist and the transaction is effective immediately. No financial terms were disclosed.
