Lakeshore Landscaping Acquires Franklin Outdoor Services

Talus Holdings is pleased to celebrate another exciting milestone for Lakeshore Landscaping: the acquisition of Franklin Outdoor Services, a respected Minnesota landscaping and grounds maintenance company serving residential and commercial customers throughout the Twin Cities region.

Announced by Lakeshore Landscaping yesterday, the acquisition brings together two organizations that share a commitment to dependable service, quality workmanship and long-term customer relationships. It also marks another important step in Lakeshore’s mission to build a leading Minnesota landscaping platform by supporting successful local businesses and helping them reach their full potential.

Founded in 1996, Franklin Outdoor Services has spent nearly three decades building a strong reputation for professionalism, responsiveness and exceptional outdoor property care.

The company provides a comprehensive range of year-round services, including:

• Landscape design and installation
• Lawn care and fertilization
• Irrigation services
• Outdoor lighting
• Snow plowing
• Ice management

Franklin’s experienced workforce, established customer relationships and ability to serve both residential and commercial properties make the company an excellent addition to Lakeshore Landscaping.

These strengths complement Lakeshore’s vision of bringing together premier landscaping companies that understand their local markets and take pride in delivering outstanding service.

The best partnerships begin with an appreciation for what a business has already accomplished. Franklin Outdoor Services has earned the trust of its customers through decades of hard work, dependable service and a commitment to doing the job right.

Joining Lakeshore Landscaping will allow Franklin to build on that foundation while gaining access to additional resources, strategic leadership, operational support and new opportunities for growth. The partnership is designed to strengthen Franklin’s capabilities while preserving the people, relationships and service standards behind its success.

For Franklin customers, the transition will be seamless. Customers can continue relying on the familiar teams and high-quality service they have come to expect, now supported by the broader resources and infrastructure of Lakeshore Landscaping.

Lakeshore Landscaping was created to help exceptional local landscaping businesses grow without losing the qualities that make them special. Its approach combines local expertise and trusted customer relationships with shared resources, proven operating practices and long-term investment.

Franklin Outdoor Services represents exactly the kind of company Lakeshore seeks to welcome into its network: an established local business with an experienced team, a broad range of services and a strong reputation in the communities it serves.

By joining forces, Lakeshore and Franklin are better positioned to expand their capabilities, create opportunities for employees and provide even greater value to customers across Minnesota.

At Talus Holdings, we partner with ambitious leaders who want to build enduring businesses. We provide the capital, operating support and strategic resources entrepreneurs need to pursue thoughtful growth while remaining focused on their customers, employees and communities.

Lakeshore Landscaping’s acquisition of Franklin Outdoor Services reflects that philosophy in action. It brings a respected local company into a growth-focused organization that recognizes its value, respects its legacy and is committed to supporting its next chapter.

This is about more than expanding a landscaping platform. It is about investing in good businesses, supporting talented people and creating a stronger foundation for sustainable growth.

We congratulate the Lakeshore Landscaping and Franklin Outdoor Services teams on this exciting partnership. Franklin has built an impressive business over nearly 30 years, and we look forward to seeing that legacy continue as part of Lakeshore’s growing Minnesota platform.

Together, the two organizations are well positioned to deliver exceptional outdoor property services, create new opportunities and continue raising the standard for professional landscaping across Minnesota.
