Tree service business

I am currently reviewing a tree service business and I am a little concerned about the equipment list (or lack thereof) that has been provided. From what I have seen in numerous other tree service businesses for sale this company appears to be running very very lean on equipment owned, especially for the revenue it is generating.

Is there anyone here who has any experience in the tree service industry who might be willing to have a brief conversation about this concern with me?

Built a large landscaping group for a PE. You should have a very close look on the projects (avg project size and maintenance vs one time projects) they usually do and what customers they have. The market is very heterogeneous due to very different focal points, hence equipment used and according D&A/needed net CapEx differs greatly.

Lean on equipment can be good thing due to some factors, perhaps the seasonality of the business. This seller seems like a cut above the rest. DM if you want to talk.
