Profitable Stump Grinding Business in NW Florida
Business Description
This profitable stump grinding business has been successfully operating since 2018 in Santa Rosa Beach, FL, serving the Northwest Florida market with exceptional results. The company has built an outstanding reputation in the tree service industry, maintaining nothing but 5-star Google reviews through fair pricing and superior service quality.
The business features premium equipment including two top-tier Carlton stump grinders: a 75hp turbo diesel SP7015 on wheels and a 56hp gas-powered SP6016 on wheels, both purchased new by the current owner. This represents some of the newest and cleanest equipment in the region, providing significant competitive advantages.
Currently operated as a solo venture generating $120,000 EBITDA on a $295,000 asking price, the business demonstrates strong profitability and cash flow. The home-based operation keeps overhead minimal while serving an established customer base throughout Walton County and surrounding areas.
Significant growth opportunities exist through expanded operations. The current owner notes that utilizing both machines with two operators could potentially double revenue. The business philosophy centers on quality workmanship, fair pricing, and leaving job sites in better condition than found, which has created strong customer loyalty and repeat business.
The seller, who has experience with eight different stump grinders over his career, is divesting due to time commitments with other business ventures. He offers comprehensive training covering machine operation, maintenance procedures, job bidding strategies, advertising methods, and general business operations to ensure buyer success.
This turnkey opportunity includes established customer relationships, proven equipment, strong local reputation, and extensive seller support, making it ideal for an entrepreneur seeking entry into the lucrative tree service industry in Florida's growing market.
