Business Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a rapidly scaling, highly profitable lawn care and landscaping operation producing nearly $200K in cash flow with 12-month recurring contracts and strong margins. This is a proven, professionally run business with systems, staff, and reputation already in place - positioned for the next owner to scale past $1M+ in revenue.
Business Overview
This is one of the top-rated full-service lawn care and landscaping companies in the region, consistently ranked in the top 3 locally with a 5-star Google rating. Operating under a nationally recognized brand, the business specializes in customized commercial and residential maintenance, tailoring services to each client’s needs rather than offering cookie-cutter packages.
The customer base is anchored by commercial accounts, including hotels, medical offices, gas stations, and shopping centers, supplemented by residential clients. All commercial clients are on 12-month contracts, creating predictable, recurring revenue and excellent visibility for future growth.

Operations & Infrastructure
The business operates from a 5,000 sq. ft. facility with three large heated bays, two offices, restrooms, and extensive indoor/outdoor storage. The location is strategically positioned near all service areas, allowing crews to reach any jobsite in under 15 minutes, while remaining discreet and secure inside a private office park.
Staffing includes 6 employees in the off-season and 8–10 during peak months, all cross-trained across service offerings. Operations are supported by LMN CRM and franchise-provided systems, allowing for efficient scheduling, billing, and job tracking. The owner is currently active but is developing internal leadership, including a team lead transitioning into an operations manager role.
Reason for Sale
