OpCo Spotlight: Signature Landscape

  • August 15, 2025
  • Jessie Mallicoat
As we spotlight our operating companies, it seems fitting that we begin with Signature Landscape, HeartLand’s very first acquisition. Since joining us in 2016, this Kansas City original has been putting its signature on the region’s finest commercial landscapes, continuing a tradition of excellence that began in 1989.

Since 1989, Signature Landscape has been putting its mark on Kansas City’s most notable properties, turning green spaces into thriving landscapes and building long-lasting partnerships
along the way. Founded by Bill Gordon with a vision rooted in people and relationships, Signature has grown from a local operation with a single crew into one of the region’s most trusted commercial grounds maintenance providers.

From its humble beginnings with just a handful of clients, Signature Landscape has evolved into a regional leader in landscape management with four strategic branch locations across the Kansas City Metro and a purpose-built headquarters in Olathe, Kansas. The company’s local roots remain strong, but its reach and reputation extend far and wide.

With a team of 340 employees and growing, Signature’s operational model is built on collaboration and specialization. They pioneered the Account Manager/Production Manager service model in the Kansas City market, ensuring proactive care and clear communication for every property.

Signature’s focus is exclusively on commercial grounds maintenance, offering comprehensive services that span the seasons—from spring cleanups and mowing to winter cutbacks and snow removal.

Signature serves a diverse portfolio of industries including planned communities, offices, apartments, healthcare campuses, industrial properties and education facilities.

What sets Signature apart is their commitment to proactive communication, attention to detail and unmatched client care. Many clients have trusted Signature for decades, a testament to the company’s consistency, professionalism and results.

A pivotal moment came in 2016, when Signature became the very first company to join the HeartLand family. This partnership has allowed Signature to access expanded resources, innovative tools, and a network of like-minded landscaping companies—all while staying true to its local roots and people-first culture.

In 2024, Signature achieved a 100% response rate on the HeartLand client survey, with an outstanding 96% recommendation rate from clients. These results earned them the coveted HeartLand Champions of Excellence award—a recognition that speaks volumes about their commitment to quality and client relationships.

From decades-long client relationships to employees who’ve been with the company for over 30 years, Signature’s story is one of dedication, growth and pride in their work. As we highlight our operating companies, we’re proud to start with Signature Landscape—a name that truly lives up to its promise: Quality is Our Signature.
