Private equity is flooding into the landscaping industry, but why now? In this episode, Morgan from Breakwater M&A breaks down the massive shift in investor focus and what it means for blue-collar entrepreneurs. 

We talk about: 

• Why landscaping is suddenly a hot investment target 
• How AI is pushing investors out of tech and into real-world businesses 
• The “golden era” of exits—and how to avoid leaving money on the table 
• The real reason most contractors can’t sell their business (and how to fix it)

If you’re running a landscape business and thinking about your future, this is the episode you can’t afford to skip.
