Dynamic Landscaping grows past $3.2 million in revenue two years after buying a 65-year-old Fort Wayne maintenance firm, with more acquisitions planned for 2026 and beyond.

SYRACUSE, Ind., July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dynamic Landscaping, a Syracuse, Indiana landscaping company founded in 2016 by Crystal Knafel, has grown to more than $3.2 million in annual revenue and is now targeting 20% growth across its businesses in 2026. The milestone follows the company's 2024 acquisition of Lawn & Turf Landscaping, a commercial maintenance business in Fort Wayne that had been serving the area for 65 years.

The Fort Wayne purchase marked a turning point for Dynamic Landscaping, which had built its reputation primarily on residential work in and around Syracuse. Moving into commercial maintenance meant learning a different side of the business, but it also opened up a market Knafel says has real room to grow. Between the two companies, Dynamic Landscaping now employs 65 people and generates close to $5.2 million in combined annual revenue.

"Every business we've brought into the fold has taught us something new about how to run this company better," said Crystal Knafel, owner of Dynamic Landscaping. "We're not just adding revenue when we acquire a business. We're adding people, relationships and years of trust that a community has already built with that company, and we take that seriously."

Knafel started Dynamic Landscaping fresh out of high school, growing it from a small residential outfit into a full-service landscaping, lawn care and hardscaping company. Over the past decade, she has made a series of smaller acquisitions to expand the business, with the Lawn & Turf purchase standing as the largest deal to date. Looking ahead, Knafel said she plans to pursue three to five acquisitions a year, with Indiana and Ohio at the top of her list, including a possible move into the Indianapolis market. She's also eyeing a smaller acquisition in fertilization and irrigation services to round out the company's offerings.

Leadership development has become just as central to the company's growth plan as the acquisitions themselves. Dynamic Landscaping has built a team where women hold a number of its crew lead, production and sales management roles, something Knafel attributes to giving people real opportunities to grow rather than any deliberate hiring push. One recent example is a sales representative who was promoted to sales manager after setting her sights on landing larger commercial accounts.

"I want the people who work here to see a path for themselves, whether that's running a crew, managing a division or eventually leading a company of their own," Knafel said. "That's how you build something that lasts past you."

Dynamic Landscaping's growth strategy and leadership approach were recently profiled in the trade publication Lawn & Landscape, which highlighted the company's use of an Entrepreneurial Operating System to guide decision-making as it scales.
