In August 2021, LandCare Innovations expanded into Raleigh-Durham through its partnership with GroundWorks Landscaping and Derek Stutts.
GroundWorks was a young business with roughly a dozen team members, but what stood out wasn’t its size.
It was Derek.
He brought years of experience leading teams for larger landscape businesses in the Triangle and had started GroundWorks because he believed there was an opportunity to do something better and different.
Derek wasn’t simply looking to sell a company.
He was looking for a thought partner and capital partner who could help him build something.
We saw a talented leader, cultural alignment and enormous potential.
