Landscaping Business with Awesome Potential


Background

This fantastic lawn service and landscaping company has built its stellar reputation over the past 6 years, designed to serve the community and grow repeat business. With cutting and trimming done in the summer, and installations completed during the winter, while clients are out of town, there is no off season with this business. It remains steady and open for business year round.

There is a solid mix of commercial and residential accounts, with a majority being residential. Although this is usually not as sustainable as having a majority commercial accounts, the owners have worked hard over the years to keep up an excellent reputation, which causes the higher profit residential customers to keep their accounts active and keep returning for work year after year. The entire county that this business is in prides itself on beautiful landscaping, and they are known for affluence, so there will never be a shortage of high paying customers.

The staff is small and easily managed. There are only three full time employees, but they have each been with the company since the very beginning, and they are all extremely loyal.

 

Competition

There are a lot of small landscaping businesses, but they all tend to focus on quantity over quality. They tend to resort to undercutting in order to attract business, but this company keeps its name strong and can command a higher price than the rest.

 

Growth / Expansion

There is an extremely large amount of opportunity for this business. The market in the area is huge for landscapers, and with the right marketing strategy, the business could really soar.

Currently the company is relying on mailed flyers and word of mouth to grow business. There are no online ads being placed, no billboards, and little SEO. Any proper marketing campaign, coupled with a savvy person leading bids on new projects, will bring this business to a whole new level.

 

Support / Training

As this is a simple business that has been designed to be easy to run and take over, the seller is offering 1 week unpaid training.
