Riverview Landscapes Acquires Giannini Landscaping & Holiday Lighting by Giannini, Establishing First Long Island Branch and Expanding Recurring Service Offerings

Riverview Landscapes (“Riverview”) today announced the acquisition of Giannini Landscaping and Holiday Lighting by Giannini (“Giannini”), a leading commercial landscaping, holiday lighting, and snow management provider headquartered in Lindenhurst, New York. The transaction marks Riverview’s first branch location on Long Island proper and a significant step in its continued expansion across the Northeast.

Founded in 1977 by Mitch Giannini, Giannini has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, recurring landscaping and seasonal services. Mike Kaplan, a former long-time employee of Giannini, acquired the business in 2019 to accelerate growth and expand the service offering.

“This acquisition not only establishes our first physical presence on Long Island proper but also strengthens our ability to grow organically in the region,” said Liam Burrell, CFO of Riverview Landscapes. “With Giannini’s in-house holiday lighting expertise, Riverview will be able to expand this offering during the winter months.”

The Lindenhurst location will serve as Riverview’s West Suffolk County branch, joining Riverview’s New York region. The branch will continue operations under the leadership of Mike Laudando, a 20+ year veteran of Giannini who has served in account management and operations roles.

“We’re excited to join Riverview and build on the strong foundation that has been established over the past several decades,” said Mike Kaplan. “This partnership provides new resources and opportunities for our team while ensuring we continue delivering the high-quality service our customers expect.”

In addition to its New York region, Riverview operates in Northern New Jersey, Southern New Jersey, and New England.
