BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Established commercial and residential landscaping company serving the Charleston area and surrounding South Carolina Lowcountry.

Revenue was approximately $500,000 in 2025 and is projected to reach approximately $600,000 in 2026. Recent summer monthly invoicing reached approximately $55,600. The seller estimates approximately $200,000 in total owner benefit after normalizing personal and discretionary expenses.

Approximately 70% of revenue comes from commercial customers, with an estimated 45+ commercial accounts. Commercial work is performed under annual contracts and billed in 12 monthly installments.

The majority of revenue is recurring lawn and grounds maintenance, including mowing, cleanups, pruning and mulching. The company does not focus on patios, pavers or large construction projects. Installations are primarily used as a way to convert customers into recurring maintenance accounts.

OPERATIONS

The company operates two field crews with four core field employees and additional part-time support as needed. The crews handle routine maintenance services.

The owner focuses on estimating, customer relationships, sales, scheduling and occasional installation projects. Administrative work is limited primarily to billing and record keeping.

The owner is a U.S. Army Special Operations veteran with a strong track record of winning commercial accounts. The company has reached a point where the existing crews are essentially at capacity, and the owner regularly declines or does not pursue available commercial bidding opportunities.

The business is at a pivotal stage where a new owner can add equipment and crews and pursue significantly more commercial work. The seller is willing to remain involved with a buyer and focus specifically on growth strategy and new commercial account acquisition for the buyer.

EQUIPMENT INCLUDED

The seller estimates the included vehicles and equipment have a combined value of approximately $100,000. The package includes:

Two work trucks, including a 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 and a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado with approximately 50,000 miles

Three utility trailers

One dump trailer

Five low-hour John Deere commercial mowers

One utility vehicle with a 40-gallon spraying system

Commercial trimmers, edgers, blowers and related equipment

The owner’s personal vehicle, real estate and mini excavator are not included.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITY

A buyer could grow the company by pursuing additional commercial contracts, adding crews and vehicles, increasing route density and formalizing service agreements with residential customers.

FACILITIES

The business currently operates from the owner’s property. No real estate is included. A buyer will need suitable space within the service area for vehicles and equipment. No retail storefront is required.

SUPPORT AND TRAINING

The seller will provide transition and operational training. He is also willing to remain for up to one year in a separately compensated sales and growth role, subject to mutually acceptable terms.

SELLER FINANCING

The seller may consider financing a portion of the purchase price for an experienced and financially qualified buyer providing a substantial cash down payment. Terms will depend on the buyer and overall offer.

A signed confidentiality agreement, buyer qualification interview and proof of funds or financing capacity will be required before confidential information is released.
