Diamond Landscaping hires Anson Martin as CEO

Kian Capital and its portfolio company, Diamond Landscaping, have hired Anson Martin as CEO of Diamond Landscaping.

Martin has 17 years of experience leading founder- and private equity-backed businesses. Backed by an engineering background, Martin specializes in strategic growth and M&A, operational expansion and data-driven decision making. Most recently, Martin served six years as CEO and board president of Burroughs, a PE-backed multi-location technology-enabled industrial services company providing service in all U.S. states, Canada and Puerto Rico.

“I’m thrilled to join Diamond Landscaping at such an exciting moment in the company’s evolution,” Martin says. “Brian, along with our other incredible founders, has built a highly differentiated platform defined by exceptional service quality, deep customer relationships and a strong culture. As we grow, our focus will be on supporting the broader platform as it continues to scale, while preserving the local expertise that makes this business exceptional. I’m excited to work alongside our talented team to build on this foundation and expand our impact across premium markets.”

Diamond Landscaping serves high-end residential clients in markets across the U.S. Kian partnered with the platform in December 2021, and the company has since completed a multitude of strategic growth initiatives. Diamond Landscaping ranks No. 46 on Lawn & Landscape's Top 100 list.

“As Diamond Landscaping’s founder, I’m incredibly proud of what the team has created over the last thirty years and excited to see the company enter its next chapter,” said Diamond Landscaping Founder Brian Diamond. “Anson’s appointment marks a meaningful milestone as we continue to scale the business thoughtfully while staying true to the values that have defined us from the start. I look forward to remaining deeply involved, with a continued focus on our Los Angeles operations to ensure we provide the highest quality service to our loyal clients.”

“I am excited to welcome Anson to the landscape industry," says Roger Zino, industry veteran and Diamond Landscaping Chairman. "He brings a rare blend of front-line experience, curiosity and a deep caring for people working at all levels of the organization, alongside a strong problem-solving mindset — making him the perfect combination to scale a landscape service platform.”
