Visterra Landscape Group has acquired Loyet Landscape Maintenance, a provider of commercial landscape services in St. Louis for four decades.
The acquisition doubles Visterra’s footprint in the St. Louis market, strengthens its operational leadership with the addition of Loyet executives and adds a complementary portfolio of commercial clients across diverse end-markets.
Founded in 1985 by Joseph Loyet, Loyet Landscape Maintenance has been family-owned since its inception. Operating from two branches across the St. Louis metropolitan area, the company specializes in comprehensive commercial landscape services. Over the past 40 years, Loyet has served clients in healthcare, education, retail, multifamily housing, office, HOAs and industrial sectors.
“We are thrilled to welcome Joe Loyet and all Loyet employees to the Visterra family,” says Alan T. Handley, president and CEO of Visterra. “This acquisition underscores our continued focus on partnering with founders and entrepreneurs who share our core values — creating an exceptional workplace culture rooted in people, safety, service excellence, growth, and the entrepreneurial spirit. We are committed to providing Loyet employees, customers, and the broader St. Louis community with expanded career opportunities, enhanced health benefits, new service offerings, and the assurance that landscaping in St. Louis will remain as vibrant as it has been throughout Loyet’s four decades of service.”
