East Bay Landscaping Business with Recurring Maintenance Revenue
Business Description
This is an opportunity to acquire a well-established, premium residential landscaping business serving the East Bay. The company has operated successfully for close to three decades and has built an outstanding reputation for quality, reliability, and long-term client relationships.
The business generates highly predictable, recurring revenue from ongoing maintenance contracts, supplemented by landscape construction, irrigation, lighting, and hardscape projects. The maintenance base provides consistent cash flow and significantly reduces reliance on one-off project work — a key differentiator in this industry.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
• Operating for nearly 30 years with a strong, trusted brand
• Ongoing maintenance contracts providing stable, recurring revenue
• Premium positioning serving quality-focused residential clients
• Strong historical margins (~68% gross profit)
• Experienced, long-tenured field crews requiring minimal oversight
• Minimal advertising — new business driven by reputation, referrals, and online presence
• Turnkey operation with vehicles, equipment, and systems in place
• SBA eligible acquisition
OPERATIONS
The owner currently manages scheduling, client communication, and design, while day-to-day field operations are handled by an experienced team. The business runs efficiently using simple, proven systems for scheduling and crew coordination. Administrative support is in place, and operations do not rely on complex infrastructure.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
• Revenue historically ranges from approximately $870K–$1.05M
• Three-year average SDE of approximately $220K
• Consistently strong gross margins supported by recurring maintenance work
MAJOR GROWTH UPSIDE
This business is operating below demand. The owner has been required to turn down new business due to capacity constraints, creating immediate upside for a new owner.
Clear expansion opportunities include:
• Adding additional maintenance and/or project crews
• Increasing capacity to accept currently declined work
• Expanding service coverage within the East Bay
• Introducing additional administrative support to reduce owner involvement and scale operations
Demand already exists — growth does not require new marketing spend, only additional operational capacity.
