Electric Sheep, a provider of autonomous large-scale outdoor maintenance, is acquiring two commercial landscaping businesses, Phenix Landscape and Complete Landscaping, as part of its long-term strategy to consolidate the landscaping industry. The acquisitions will enable Electric Sheep to use the acquired data in a reinforcement learning operational sandbox, and eventually deploy tens of thousands of robots. The company takes into consideration a few criteria when picking landscaping companies to acquire, such as a diverse set of data, culture, and a well-run business. The landscaping industry is undergoing a period of consolidation, with the typical landscaping business owner being someone who started a small business in high school or college.
