Graze Robotics, an innovator in autonomous commercial landscaping solutions, has opened its new headquarters in Plano, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth as it continues to expand its presence and support a rapidly growing customer base across Texas and beyond.
Graze said it will be housed in the new L2 Companies facility, which has been built to accommodate L2 Companies’ expanding portfolio of businesses. Graze announced its relocation from Los Angeles to Plano in January 2024.

“Texas has been at the heart of our growth story, and we are thrilled to officially establish our headquarters in Plano,” Graze CEO Logan Fahey said in a statement. “With the largest share of our customer base located in Texas—spanning solar farms, airports, municipalities, and golf courses—this move allows us to be closer to the industries we serve and continue driving innovation in autonomous commercial landscaping. Being part of the L2 Companies facility also aligns with our vision of collaboration and industry advancement.”
L2 Companies, led by Logan Fahey and Luke Franz, invests in and manages a diverse group of companies, including green industry service-based businesses and cutting-edge technology enterprises.
Fahey is the former CEO—and current board chairman—of McKinney-based Robin Autopilot, a provider of robotic mowing and landscaping technology. Graze cited its “synergistic partner” relationship with Robin Autopilot when it hired Fahey as CEO in July 2023.
Graze said its new HQ will serve as a hub for innovation and collaboration, reinforcing L2’s commitment to fostering advancements in automation and sustainable solutions.

A leader in AI-driven robotic mowing
Graze Robotics said it rapidly has become a leader in sustainable, AI-driven robotic mowing and landscaping solutions, revolutionizing the way large-scale properties maintain their grounds.
In July 2023, Graze and Robin Autopilot showed their stuff by testing both companies’ eco-friendly solutions for DFW Airport, the second-busiest airport on earth.
Graze’s new headquarters will serve as the central hub for innovation, customer support, and operational excellence, strengthening the company’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge automation solutions that enhance efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability, the company said.

A grand opening event was held at the Plano headquarters Tuesday, featuring a ribbon-cutting ceremony, product demonstrations, and opportunities to connect with industry leaders and stakeholders. The facility also will host training sessions and hands-on showcases for customers looking to integrate autonomous solutions into their operations.
“We’re excited to deepen our roots in Texas and continue our mission to transform the commercial landscaping industry,” Fahey said. “This is just the beginning of a new chapter for Graze Robotics, and we look forward to building a strong future alongside our customers, partners, and the Plano community.”
