Landscape, Hardscape, Light Construction Platform | Multi NC Locations
Business Description
A well-established outdoor services platform operating across multiple North Carolina markets is now available for acquisition. The company delivers landscape design-build, hardscape installation, environmental restoration, excavation, drainage, and licensed outdoor contracting through a single integrated operation serving residential, commercial, production builder, and municipal clients.
Operating for more than 15 years with consistent year-on-year revenue growth now exceeding $9M, the business holds a North Carolina General Contractor license and Landscape Contractor license, along with additional certifications covering pesticide application, irrigation, and specialty contracting. These credentials allow the company to self-perform complex work that most competitors subcontract out, creating a meaningful competitive advantage in a fragmented market.
The business operates through a tenured management team with branch leadership running daily operations independently across locations. With no meaningful off-season, diversified revenue across multiple customer segments, and a structured transition plan in place, the company is well-positioned for continued growth under new ownership.
Further details available upon execution of a confidentiality agreement.

About the Business
- Employees
- 70 Full-time
Branch Directors manage daily operations independently across locations. Busines - Facilities & Assets
- Multiple owned branch offices operating across North Carolina markets, each held through separate LLCs and available as part of the transaction. Each office supports independent crews, equipment, and management infrastructure. The fleet includes trucks, trailers, excavators, Bobcats, and specialized field equipment across all locations, tracked through an internal fleet management system. Equipment is actively maintained, with ownership regularly replacing lower-value assets. An inter-branch logistics route runs multiple times weekly, allowing locations to source materials from suppliers across the state corridor.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The U.S. landscaping and outdoor services industry reached $188.8 billion in 2025, growing at 6.5% annually over the prior five years. The market is highly fragmented. Most operators are small, owner-dependent businesses competing on price. Few combine licensing depth, multi-market scale, and the ability to self-perform complex work. North Carolina's population and housing growth consistently outpace national averages, driving sustained demand across every segment this business serves. Competitors fall into four categories: local owner-operated landscapers without contractor licensing; regional design-build firms lacking operational scale; large commercial maintenance providers that sacrifice customization; and PE-backed platforms that are often early in integration. This business sits above all four, multi-licensed, multi-market, and structured to serve clients who want fewer vendors and more accountability.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Four growth vectors are identified and ready to execute. First, market expansion: the branch-and-crew model proven across multiple NC markets is replicable across secondary NC and SC markets without rebuilding infrastructure. Second, service line additions: irrigation and turf treatment programs are deprioritized today and represent immediate recurring revenue opportunities within existing client relationships. Third, scalability: a buyer with capital and management bandwidth can absorb significantly more project volume using existing crew and equipment infrastructure. Fourth, municipal and government work: the business holds bid credentials and prior performance history in this segment, which remains underpenetrated and represents meaningful upside. Tuck-in acquisitions of smaller local operators are also a natural path given the platform infrastructure already in place.

About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- Owners pursuing new ventures. Business is strong and transition-ready.
- Transition Support
- Ownership anticipates a 6 to 9 month transition, with flexibility to 12 months depending on buyer needs. The transition is structured in four phases: strategic handoff and introductions in month one; operational immersion in months two and three; client and team integration in months four through six; and light-touch support from months seven through nine. Ownership is prepared to lease its contractor's license to the buyer during this period to ensure uninterrupted operations. Branch Directors run their markets independently today. The Business Operations Specialist has committed to staying through and beyond the transition. The Controller is positioned to grow into a CFO role under new ownership.
- Financing Options
- SBA pre-qualified. Seller financing terms open to discussion.
