Commercial Lawn Care Business

A Charlotte-area lawn care business of nearly twenty years, built entirely on word of mouth, with recurring commercial contracts making up most of its revenue.

Business Highlights

  • 15 to 16 commercial accounts on recurring contracts
  • Recently signed nursing home contracts worth $60k a year
  • Zero advertising spend, with all growth from referrals
  • Nearly twenty years of operating history
  • Lean two-employee operation with low overhead

Considerations / Questions to Ask

  • The listing describes close to $200k of contract revenue, but reported revenue is lower. Confirm which figure is current.
  • How long do the commercial contracts run, and are they assignable?
  • Two employees means the owner is likely doing the work. What does replacing them cost?
  • What equipment is included and what condition is it in?
  • Lawn care is seasonal. How is revenue spread across the year?

Opportunities

  • No marketing has ever been run, so there is room to grow the residential side quickly
  • Nursing home and commercial contracts recur every season without being resold
  • Adding a crew converts directly into more routes in a growing metro
  • A small, clean book is an easy bolt-on for a larger landscaping company
