BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Highly profitable landscape maintenance service business in the heart of the beautiful foothills of the Sierra Mountains that averaged $230.5K gross with $113.7K cashflow 2019-2023.

A thriving business for 35 years, we are now looking towards retirement. We currently provide regular, Bi-weekly maintenance services to many commercial customers with the balance being residential. Nearly all jobs are multi-year, longtime customers. We also provide 2 man crews for one day clean up jobs including large pruning, trimming & hedging, etc. Additionally, we provide 2 man crews for defensible space, forestry clean ups & weed eating.

We are an owner operated business historically employing 3-4 people. As we move towards retirement, we currently have 2 employees working approximately 6 days, out of a 10 day/2 week period (or 60% of the time). We have an extensive list of high quality customers with whom we have previously worked, but are not able to serve at this time. This can be utilized for instant growth as many are seeking continued landscape services. This county has a very strong demand for experienced, quality landscape professionals.

For 33 years, this business has successfully provided landscape construction & maintenance services as a C-27 licensed contractor. Until a couple years ago, as we began to move towards retirement, we had both a construction crew & a maintenance crew. We still receive multiple inquiries per month for new construction projects, as well as new maintenance customers. We have always embraced the philosophy that landscape construction jobs help get you more maintenance jobs & vice versa which has been a very successful strategy for this business.

QAL or maintenance gardener sprayers license will need to be obtained. Weed spraying is a part of regular maintenance service, some being large properties that require a significant amount of weed control.
