Strata Landscape Services announced on April 6, that it has acquired Venco Western, a commercial landscape provider with more than 65 years of history serving Ventura County, California and surrounding communities.

Venco Western has built a reputation for constructing and maintaining some of the region’s most recognizable public and commercial landscapes. For decades, the company has contributed to the parks, communities and commercial spaces that define the area.

“We have tremendous respect for what the Venco team has built over the last six plus decades,” says Justin Crandall, CEO of Strata Landscape Services. “Businesses that endure for 65 years do so because of a deep commitment to customers, employees, and the communities they serve. Our goal is to honor that legacy while continuing to invest in the people and operations that have made Venco Western such a trusted partner across Ventura County and beyond.”

According to Venco Western’s leadership, the decision to partner with Strata was driven by alignment around long-term growth and the opportunity to build on the company’s existing foundation. Mario Del Nagro, the third-generation family leader of Venco Western, noted that the partnership reflects both respect for the company’s history and confidence in future opportunities.

“When we started exploring options for the future of Venco, it was important to find a partner that respected what we’ve built and had a clear vision for where the business could go,” says Del Nagro. “Strata brings the team and resources to accelerate growth while keeping the core commitment to our people and our clients intact. I’m excited to work alongside their team as we continue building on Venco’s legacy across Southern California.”

Strata reported that the acquisition represents a continuation of Venco’s legacy and a new chapter focused on scaling that success. The partnership strengthens Strata’s footprint in Southern California and supports the company’s broader vision of building a leading commercial landscape platform across the Western U.S.

“We’re excited to welcome the Venco Western team to Strata,” Crandall adds. “Their reputation across Ventura County speaks for itself, and we look forward to building on that foundation to build a great, enduring business together.”
