$290K+ SDE Excavation, Land Grading & Lawn Drainage Business
Business Description
100% OWNER-OPERATED EXCAVATION, LAND GRADING, LAWN DRAINAGE & SNOW REMOVAL BUSINESS
$290,000++ SDE | Long Island, NY
Rare opportunity to acquire a highly visible, owner-operated excavation, land grading, lawn drainage, site work, land clearing, and snow removal business built over more than 30 years by a respected industry veteran.
The owner is relocating to the Carolinas to focus on excavation projects full-time and is offering the Long Island platform he has spent decades building. This is not simply the purchase of a business—it is the acquisition of a dominant online presence, powerful search rankings, and a reputation that would take years to replicate.
The company operates on a project-based model with no contracts, subscriptions, recurring revenue, or customer agreements. Revenue is generated from excavation, land grading, lawn drainage, site preparation, land clearing, and snow removal projects obtained through reputation, referrals, and exceptional online visibility. Typical projects range from $5,000 to $50,000+, with larger jobs regularly available.
Seller discretionary earnings are approximately $290,000 annually for an active owner-operator. The owner has generated more than $700,000 in annual revenue during certain years, with deposits verifiable through bank statements and invoices. The business operates within a traditionally cash-heavy industry, creating significant upside for an experienced operator.
Included in the sale:
• Two aged Google Business Profile (Google Maps) listings
• One 15-year-old SEO-optimized website
• Over $100,000 invested into SEO and online marketing over the years
• Hundreds of 5-star customer reviews
• Strong Long Island market presence
• Decades of goodwill and industry credibility
The company consistently ranks prominently in local search results for excavation, land grading, lawn drainage, land clearing, site work, and snow removal services throughout Long Island.
Equipment is available separately and is not included in the asking price. The seller can assist the buyer with acquiring the equipment necessary to perform the work or provide guidance on sourcing quality used or new equipment through his extensive industry network.
Ideal Buyer:
• Existing excavation, grading, paving, landscaping, drainage, or snow removal companies seeking immediate market share and lead generation
• Contractors looking to establish an instant Long Island presence without spending years building a reputation, collecting reviews, and climbing search rankings
• Experienced owner-operators seeking a turnkey entry into a highly profitable industry
• Individuals with a passion for excavation, site work, land clearing, grading, drainage, or heavy equipment who have the skills to perform the work but need an established online presence and lead-generation platform to launch and grow successfully
Rather than spending years building a website, building search rankings, collecting reviews, and generating trust with customers, a buyer can step into a proven operation with immediate lead flow and a recognized market presence.
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a respected Long Island excavation, grading, drainage, and snow removal operation built by a 30-year industry veteran who is ready to pass the torch and focus on his next chapter in the Carolinas.
Proof of funds of $125,000 and a valid government-issued photo ID are required prior to receiving confidential information or being introduced to the seller.
