Landscaping Expert – Mike Sanders

Mike Sanders is on a mission to acquire landscaping businesses. After purchasing B&B Landscaping, he quickly went on to acquire Justin’s Superior Landscape Business for himself; making them one of the largest residential landscaping operations in Central Florida. Here Mike shares how his experience from running B&B helped with his second acquisition – Justin’s Superior Landscape Business.

Early Life and Education

Mike started dabbling in landscape maintenance at age nine, initially tending to family lawns but eventually taking on others’. He enjoyed getting dirty while having sore fingers and hands from working hard – something his older siblings also encouraged.

He decided to expand his horizons, relocating to California where he could work year round rather than seasonal work. Since establishing the new company he has gone from strength to strength acquiring four trucks, three plows, a backhoe equipped with snow pusher capability as well as trailers, mowers and tractors to complement his fleet of trailers and mowers.

He loves exploring with his wonderful family and taking photographs of nature; running, gardening, cooking and photography are also hobbies he thoroughly enjoys in his free time. Additionally, he finds great pleasure in writing guideline and ordinance language for landscaping and forestry practices.

Personal Life

Mike began his passion for landscaping and horticulture at 12 years old, starting by mowing lawns and caring for gardens near his family home in Wildwood. By 16, he had saved enough money to purchase his first truck and trailer – an accomplishment which has allowed him to build an honest and trustworthy company that continues today.

Mike is an intuitive and creative landscape designer with a soulful approach to design. His keen understanding of flora and environment are enhanced by an extensive knowledge base; furthermore he’s committed to further education and design explorations; writing specifications and guidelines has added greatly to his strong communication skills, knowledge base, and ability to prioritize client needs.

Outside of work, Mike enjoys freediving, surfing, fishing, cooking, camping, tinkering and inventing as well as spending time with Chandler, Otto and Ali – not forgetting volunteering for CT Walk4Hearing and Usher Syndrome awareness campaigns!
