A high-end, residential landscape installation and brick paving company. Landscaping accounts for approximately 60% of the gross sales and bring paving for the remaining 40%. The business provides landscape contracting to residents primarily within a 10-mile radius of its office location in the SW Suburbs. This includes a number of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Chicago metro area with the standard demographic being married, white-collar homeowners with an annual family income greater than $100,000 and a median home value of $500,000 or more. Landscape contracting differs from standard landscape maintenance in that it is not the low-margin grass mowing and associated functions (aerating, seeding, leaf blowing, etc). Instead, the services include the construction of retaining walls and seatwalls, patios, steps, driveways, walkways, grill pits and fire pits, planting of trees and shrubs, construction of berms, and general landscape architecture. The business has been in operation since 1994. Gross sales for 2007 were at $1.3 million. The company is doing consistenyl well in this economy. The company has a very good reputation in the industry for its brick paving. Their referral base is steadily increasing as a result. All key employees have been with the business since its inception and will continue to stay with the business. The customer base consists of people who have recently bought newly-constructed homes that are sitting on a dirt lot that requires landscape architecture, people who have recently moved into an existing home and would like to re-landscape the surrounding lot, or people who have been living in their home for a while and who are looking to enhance the value of their homes by enhancing the aesthetics of the surrounding lot.
