San Ramon, CA — After more than five decades of serving California’s South Bay, Northwest Landscape has entered its next chapter through an acquisition by BayPro.
Founded in 1973 by the Nakamura family, Northwest Landscape built a strong reputation as a trusted provider of commercial landscape maintenance services throughout the Bay Area. Under the leadership of brothers Paul and Warren Nakamura, the company became known for its dependable service, customized landscaping solutions, and long-standing relationships with corporate clients.
As the Nakamura family prepared for retirement, preserving the company’s legacy and ensuring a seamless transition for employees and customers became a top priority. Working with ABI Group, they identified BayPro as the ideal strategic partner to continue building upon the strong foundation established over the past 50 years.
The acquisition supports BayPro’s long-term growth strategy while expanding its commercial landscaping footprint throughout Northern California. By combining the strengths of both organizations, the transaction positions the business to continue delivering the quality service and customer relationships that have defined Northwest Landscape for generations.
Reflecting on the transaction, Paul and Warren Nakamura shared:
“The ABI team has a long history of dealmaking. 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.”
BayPro also commented on the acquisition:
“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.”
