Founded by Mark Brower, the company began with no employees and no contracts but quickly made significant strides in the industry. Its first major contract was with Texaco gas stations in Southern California, which set the stage for further growth that saw a diverse client roster, including institutions like Home Depot and local municipalities.
Today, Merchants maintains an impressive portfolio that encompasses over 250 parks and more than 5,000 acres of municipal landscape, establishing itself as the largest entity of its kind in the state. The company operates with a robust staff of over 400 employees and a fleet exceeding 250 trucks and trailers. Annual sales surpass $30 million, with nearly all revenue generated from long-term municipal landscape maintenance contracts that often span 10 to 15 years.
Merchants prides itself on its responsive service, professionalism, and a one-of-a-kind inventory of landscape equipment tailored to meet a diverse range of project needs. The company’s commitment to quality is further reinforced by its self-insured status for workers' compensation, allowing for competitive pricing and lower operational costs.
