BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

We started this family partnership because I needed something to do in retirement, we wanted to make a little money, and we had blended interests in gardening, landscaping, and trucking and valued good customer service. This is a well established business mainly serving Thurston County and surrounding local areas. We deliver topsoil, beauty bark, soil amendments, gravel, and other landscape and construction materials to homeowners and contractors. We have a good relationship with suppliers and they provide us with referrals when they cannot deliver as quickly as we can or if the size of the load is smaller than they deliver. We have a five yard dump truck that does not require a CDL license. The majority of deliveries occur from late March through June with a more moderate level of work from late August through mid-October. This is a great opportunity for a retired person or someone looking to grow a business.

Facilities
This is a home based business and all you need is a phone and office space to take and schedule orders and a place to park the truck. We are willing to transfer the company name and phone number to a buyer. The dump truck is a 1996 Ford F800 with about 250,000 miles and it has been very well maintained mechanically. It can transport up to 5 yards of gravel or topsoil and 10 yards of compost or beauty bark. We also have a repeat customer data base of over 300 home owners.
Competition
There are currently only two main competitors for similar sized (one to five yards) deliveries in the local area. We have competitive pricing and can deliver for a lower cost to homeowners, landscape businesses, and contractors than most materials suppliers.
Growth & Expansion
Our level of interest in expansion was modest and so we stuck with material delivery. But, over the years, we have had many requests by customers to spread the materials delivered, so expand into landscaping; deliver larger quantities, which would require a larger truck and a CDL; deliver/transport other materials: such as Christmas trees or produce, haul away yard waste, haul junk to the dump,; expand the delivery schedule and expand into outlying areas. In addition, we could increase the amount of advertising for our services.
Financing
May be willing to assist with financing for a short timeframe.
Support & Training
We are willing to assist with operational training on the dump truck, scheduling software, invoice and bookkeeping processes, customer scripts, and other support requested by the buyer. We would like to be mostly 'out of the picture' by April 2025, but willing to provide council periodically after that.
