From Family Legacy to Strategic Exit: ABI Guides Sale of Northwest Landscape — A Third-Generation Legacy

ABI Group Inc. is proud to announce the successful acquisition of Northwest Landscape, a well-established commercial landscaping company serving California’s South Bay, following a strategic sale facilitated by Amy Cole, Principal of ABI Group.

Founded in 1973 by the Nakamura family, Northwest Landscape has maintained a trusted presence in the Bay Area’s commercial landscaping sector for more than five decades. Under the leadership of brothers Paul and Warren Nakamura, the company evolved into a top-tier provider for corporate clients, known for delivering reliable and customized landscape maintenance services.

When the Nakamura family decided it was time to transition into retirement, they turned to Amy Cole for expert guidance through the sale process. Referred by their legal counsel, Amy brought deep transactional expertise, a collaborative approach, and thoughtful solutions to what is often a complex and emotional journey for business owners.

“The ABI team has a long history of dealmaking,” said Paul and Warren Nakamura. “Amy’s professionalism, attention to detail, and consistent communication made a potentially overwhelming process manageable. She worked closely with our legal counsel and secured favorable terms with the strategic buyer and bank financing.”

Amy Cole led the sale process from valuation and positioning through buyer screening, negotiations, and closing. Her commitment to excellence enabled Northwest Landscape’s owners to confidently close this chapter and move into retirement, knowing the company is positioned for continued success.

“The acquisition of Northwest Landscape is part of our broader roll-up strategy. We are grateful that Paul and Warren entrusted our team with their clients. ABI’s creative dealmaking helped bring the transaction to a successful close.” — Anuj Gupta, BayPro
