High Growth Irrigation Co - 3 straight RECORD months , 5.5M Run Rate
Business Description
C-Suite team, systems and growth engine TRANSFER with the sale.
Twelve months ago this business invoiced roughly $70,000 a month. In August 2026 it invoiced $493,742 — the third consecutive record month. That is 6x growth on a thirty-year foundation, and it is still accelerating.
The business is currently running at a $5.5 million annualized revenue rate, with the two most recent months at approximately $200,000 of monthly earnings. The trailing twelve-month figures below include the early transition period, when the business was a fraction of its current size — they understate what a buyer is acquiring.
Established specialty irrigation services company serving primarily residential customers across four Southern California counties: sprinkler and irrigation repair, new installation, system replacement, smart controllers and drip conversion. A dedicated specialist, not a generalist landscaper with a sideline.
WHAT MAKES THIS UNUSUAL
Most home-services businesses at this level are held together by the owner's phone. This one is a system. Thirty years of trade reputation and licensing were paired, in 2025, with a modern field-service platform and a measured, tuned customer-acquisition engine. Every estimate, job, invoice and technician hour is recorded and auditable from day one of ownership.
The acquisition engine is the asset. Current Ad spend runs at approximately $12,000 per month against August revenue of $493,742 — roughly 40x blended revenue per marketing dollar, with reported in-platform return on ad spend of approximately 21x on paid search. Impression share on core irrigation keywords is 42%, against 20% for the nearest advertiser. A 7,000-follower Instagram audience adds owned distribution that costs nothing per lead.
Demand is not the constraint. Technician capacity is. A business producing half a million dollars a month on twelve thousand dollars of media has enormous unused headroom.
A SUBSIDISED MARKET
Regional water agencies pay property owners $2.00 per square foot to replace residential turf, $3.00 for public agency projects, and up to $200 per smart controller. Every conversion requires irrigation to be re-engineered from spray to drip by a licensed contractor — this Company's core work, with a public agency covering much of the customer's cost.
TRAJECTORY
Prior operating years ~$600,000 - $1,200,000/yr
TTM Sep 2025 - Aug 2026 $2,950,000 rev / ~$1,100,000 earnings
Last 3 months annualized ~$5,500,000 rev / ~$1,800,000 earnings
June 2026 $393,396
July 2026 $484,657
August 2026 (record) $493,742
Profitable every month. Refunds and disputes 0.5% of billings.

MANAGEMENT
The entire executive team is staying. The founder, who closes substantially all sales, is committing to a salaried Head of Sales role under new ownership — converting the single largest dependency into a retained asset. The executive behind the operating systems and acquisition engine continues in role.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 32
- Employees
- 26 (10 Full-time, 16 Contractors)
Peak season can get up to 25 contractors - Facilities & Assets
- The business operates from a leased, assignable facility; real estate is not included in the sale. All tools, diagnostic equipment and field assets used in daily operations are included, along with approximately $25,000 of parts and materials inventory. Technicians provide their own vehicles, keeping fleet capital and maintenance costs off the balance sheet.
The most valuable transferable asset is the operating infrastructure. The business runs entirely on a modern field-service platform with complete, auditable records: 720 estimates, 593 jobs, 605 invoices, 1,405 payment records and full technician timesheet history. A customer database of approximately 4,300 prior and current contacts transfers with the sale, together with the established brand, licensing, and a fully built and tuned digital marketing engine spanning Google Ads, SEO, review assets and a 7,600-follower Instagram audience. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The Company has not identified a competing dedicated irrigation specialist operating at comparable scale anywhere in its four-county service area.
The market is highly fragmented, consisting almost entirely of generalist landscapers who treat irrigation as an ancillary add-on, and unlicensed solo operators. Neither group can staff a twenty-technician field organisation, carry the licensing and insurance profile required for larger installations, or compete for demand at the top of the funnel.
Paid-search data makes the point plainly: the Company holds 42% impression share on core irrigation keywords against 20% for the nearest advertiser — a national lead-generation marketplace reselling leads to multiple contractors, not an operating competitor with crews in the field.
Regional climate, water regulation and aging residential irrigation infrastructure support consistent replacement and upgrade demand. - Opportunities for Growth
- The platform is built. The opportunity is scale, and it is unusually well defined.
MEDIA SCALE-UP: Paid search returns roughly 40x blended on ~$12,000 monthly spend — proof the unit economics support far heavier investment. The plan is to scale aggressively across Meta and paid social, billboards, radio, and television and streaming commercials, building the first genuine consumer brand in a trade that has never had one.
ROLL-UP: The market is fragmented across thousands of sub-scale operators without the systems, licensing or capital to compete. The Company is built to consolidate it — acquiring local competitors for their technicians, customer bases and territories at multiples well below its own, folding them onto existing infrastructure, and becoming the dominant regional operator.
CAPACITY: Uniformed crews, wrapped vehicles and a dedicated training facility
GEOGRAPHY: Las Vegas, Scottsdale, Sacramento and Austin.
About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- Partner retirement. Second partner on short family leave and returning.
- Transition Support
- The entire executive team is staying with the business.
The CEO — who designed and implemented the operating systems, marketing engine and field infrastructure behind the Company's growth from roughly $70,000 to a record $493,742 in monthly invoiced revenue — continues in the role under new ownership, together with the marketing and growth team responsible for the acquisition engine.
The founder, who personally closes substantially all of the Company's sales, is committing to a salaried Head of Sales role under new ownership. This converts the single largest dependency into a retained, contracted asset rather than a risk the buyer must underwrite.
Two field supervisors handle estimating and quality control. Pricing, estimating workflow and the customer-acquisition system are documented within the field-service platform.
This is not an owner-dependent business handed over with a phone and a customer list. A buyer inherits working infrastructure and the people who built it. - Financing Options
- Seller financing available to a qualified buyer
