About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 35
- Facilities & Assets
- The Company is fully-equipped for its present business, including seven Ford vans, plus tanks, spreaders, sprayers, and aerators.
The Company currently leases 944 sf of office space and 2,000 sf of separate warehouse space on a month-to-month basis. - Market Outlook / Competition
- Competition is vigorous for lawn care services. There are numerous providers of lawn care services, including local, national, and regional competitors, and multiple franchise opportunities.
The Company competes by offering quality service at a fair price. Despite the competition, the Company has a retention rate in excess of 90%.
The Company does very little marketing. They do use flyers and local newspaper advertising during peak selling season. Many of their new customers come from referrals. - Opportunities for Growth
- • More aggressive marketing would likely allow the business to grow significantly.
• Adding services, such as a tree and shrub program, to the existing customer base has significant potential to increase revenue. It would also be possible to add pest control to its menu of services.
• An expansion of territory is also feasible, as the company currently operates in a limited-service area, basically a one-county area.
