NJ residential landscaping business. 10 years in operation. Senior management is driving the exit conversation with owner support.
The basics:
Revenue: approximately $1.1M in 2025
Net profit: approximately $80K after tax
Customer mix: 90% residential, balance is a small commercial book
Team: roughly 20 W2 employees
Service mix: mostly mowing and maintenance, with some light hardscape and paver work
Recurring residential maintenance is the core of the route
Geography: two-county service area within a single metro
The good:
Established 10 year operation with strong recurring base
Year over year stable and growing per management
Senior management is engaged, motivated, and ready to run the process
Open to a 6 month transition
The honest bad:
The general manager is driving the conversation, not the owner directly. Per the GM, the owner is aware and supportive and has given the GM the runway to run the process. Authority confirmation will be a gating step before LOI
Tight margin on a labor-intensive operation. 20 employees on $1.1M revenue means productivity per head is on the low side for the vertical
Operating yard is leased and would not convey with the deal. Buyer needs to negotiate the same lease, find a new yard, or run route-only
Customer mix has a meaningful concentration in one anchor community
Single metro area service footprint, no geographic diversification
Right buyer profile: a searcher or operator with experience in residential landscaping or route-based services, or as a bolt-on for an existing East Coast landscaping platform.
