Turn Key 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. In the first 11 months of 2023, the business generated $144,191 in revenue. 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. Because of health issues and other business responsiblities, the ability for continued business growth slowed in 2024 and 2025.
The business features premium equipment including two stump grinders: a top-tier Carlton 56hp Kubota gas-powered SP6016 on wheels and a mini Dosko Stump Grinder with a Honda Engine. 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 $165,000 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 top equipment and hustle will put you at the top!. 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 and health issues. 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.

The first machine is a 56hp Kubota gas powered Carlton SP6016 on wheels with approximately 387 hours. It is a great machine with low hours. The second machine is a small Dosko 200-6HC with a Honda Engine for small tight areas. It has under 10 hours on it. I purchased them both new. I am a solo operater. Also available for purchase separately is a 2022 Carlton SP-7015 with wheels and approximately 682 hours. All equipment has been extremely well maintained and stored indoors.
