Share on Reddit Business Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a long-standing, highly profitable landscaping and tree service business with decades of reputation, loyal clients, and strong cash flow in the Scottsdale area. Businesses with this level of longevity and consistent demand rarely come to market.
Established in 1987, this independent company has built a reputation as one of the most trusted and recognized property maintenance providers in the region. With a loyal customer base spanning over 25 years, the business thrives on repeat clients and word-of-mouth referrals, delivering premium landscaping and highly profitable tree services year-round.
Key Financial Highlights
- Annual Revenue: $2M+
- Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE): $472K

- Diversified Revenue Base: 70% Residential / 30% Commercial
Operational Overview
The business operates with a skilled team of 19–20 full-time employees, including foremen, technicians, and dedicated maintenance and installation crews. Daily operations are streamlined with consistent maintenance routes and higher-ticket, variable tree service jobs that drive profitability. The company runs from a home-based office with minimal overhead, and operations are supported by established systems for payroll and accounting. The current owner is active in the field, ensuring quality control and strong client relationships.
The owner is selling due to burnout and is ready to transition the business to a motivated buyer who can bring fresh energy and scale operations further.
Growth Opportunities
- Launch a professional website and digital marketing (currently zero advertising)
- Expand into commercial contracts and HOA partnerships
- Increase pricing and upsell higher-margin tree services
Ideal Buyer Profile
This business is ideal for a younger, hands-on entrepreneur or an existing landscaping operator looking to expand with a highly profitable, reputation-driven operation. Some industry experience is helpful, but the strong team in place provides a solid foundation for continued success.
