Kian Capital Partners, a lower-middle-market-focused private investment firm, is proud to announce the acquisition of Integrity Landscape, a premier full-service commercial landscape services provider.

Founded in 2016 by Rich Bronstein, Integrity is a leading West Coast commercial landscaping platform serving a broad portfolio of commercial customers across five strategically located Bay Area branches, including HOAs, multi-family communities and high-profile commercial offices and retail developments. Integrity prides itself on its comprehensive set of recurring and re-occurring service offerings, focus on superior execution and reputation for reliability and professionalism. Integrity is led by industry veteran CEO Raitis Raisian and a long-tenured regional leadership team. Under Raitis’ leadership, Integrity has invested heavily in people and technology and driven impressive organic and acquisitive growth, building a leading regional platform poised for continued growth.

“When we were evaluating partners to support our next phase of growth, Kian stood out because of their direct experience supporting the growth of similar essential services businesses and their collaborative, partnership-driven culture,” said Integrity CEO Raitis Raisian. “Since joining Integrity, I have focused on building a process-driven organization and empowering our talented team to deliver high-quality service to our loyal customers. As I look to the future, I am excited to partner with Kian to build upon our success and expand beyond our Bay Area footprint to create a true leader in commercial landscape services on the West Coast.”

Integrity Founder Rich Bronstein added, “My approach has been consistent since founding Integrity: partner with good companies led by highly capable teams and help them grow. I am very proud of the business we have built over the last decade. Our team has built an incredible reputation as an established, trusted name in the Bay Area, and I am excited to support the continued growth of the business as a meaningful investor and board member alongside Kian and Raitis.”

Kian is excited to back the Integrity team as it strengthens its market leadership in the Bay Area and expands into new attractive West Coast markets, including broader Northern California, Southern California, Arizona and Nevada.

“We have established a multi-year thematic focus on the commercial landscaping sector given the highly recurring revenue model and significant market fragmentation, and the Integrity platform represents a perfect partnership for Kian,” said Kian Principal David Hare. “Raitis and Rich have built a differentiated business with the technology and processes in place to scale. We look forward to supporting the team to drive continued growth in the Bay Area and expansion into attractive West Coast markets.”

With the investment in Integrity, Kian plans to build on its track record of partnering with leading lower-middle market founders and management teams operating in the essential services and value-added distribution sectors. Kian continues to focus on opportunities that exhibit mission-critical, non-discretionary demand drivers in highly fragmented markets across the U.S.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Raitis, Rich and the Integrity team,” said Kian Co-Founder and Managing Partner Kevin McCarthy. “Integrity delivers a mission-critical service to its customers, which aligns perfectly with our core essential services investment focus. We are eager to build upon our experience in the route-based services sector and support the Integrity team in its next phase of growth.”

Integrity Landscape is actively seeking partnerships with operators who provide high-quality exterior and interior commercial landscaping services across the Western U.S. Business owners interested in learning more should contact David Duke, Partner, Business Development, at Kian, at dduke@kiancapital.com.
