Business Snapshot

For over 42 years, this well-established, award-caliber landscape, hardscape, and outdoor living design/build firm has delivered high-end projects throughout the region. The business has a sterling reputation, refined brand, and loyal client base.

Services include:

• Landscape design & installation

• Hardscape (patios, retaining walls, entryways)

• Outdoor kitchens, fire features, bars

• Pools & water features / ponds / waterfalls

• Integrated project management from concept through installation

The company is turnkey with strong systems, project workflows, vendor relationships, and a capable second-in-command already embedded in daily operations.

Opportunity Highlights

• Flexible structure: This deal can be structured with or without the second-in-command depending on the buyer’s experience. With the second-in-command staying on, the business nets $800K+. If the buyer assumes full operational control, the business can net $1MM+.

• Hands-off transition possible: The current second-in-command is willing to stay on and run operations under a new owner.

• Owner support: The retiring owner is committed to consulting during transition to ensure continuity and knowledge transfer.

• Bolt-on synergy potential: Ideal for a complementary business (pool company, landscaping, general contracting, outdoor design, hardscaping) looking to scale quickly by acquiring a capable, high-margin operation.

• Growth upside: With added marketing, process optimization, expanded geography, or cross-sell channels, profitability can scale even further.

• Legacy brand: With 42+ years of goodwill and client trust, the business is deeply rooted in the community and positioned as the go-to for premium outdoor living projects.

What’s Included

• Full client list & backlog

• Vendor & subcontractor contracts

• Asset list: vehicles, tools, equipment

• Intellectual property / design assets / brand / website

• Procedures, training manuals, operational playbooks

• The option to retain key management (second-in-command) ensures continuity

Ideal Buyer Profile

• A proven operator in landscaping, outdoor construction, or related fields seeking rapid growth

• A complementary business (pool builders, hardscape firms, general contractors) looking for a high-margin add-on

• A buyer who values strong cash flow, flexibility in management structure, and scalable potential

Asking Price & Terms

Asking Price: $3.5MM
Seller is open to structured deal terms (earn-outs, financed component, seller note) to facilitate a smooth transition.

Why This Business Is Rare

• Few landscaping/outdoor living firms of this scale offer both 42+ years of legacy success and the option of a second-in-command to stay on.

• Immediate prestige and marketing leverage from the brand and portfolio.

• Positioned in high-ticket residential projects rather than commodity services.

• Clear upside in scaling, expansion, and cross-selling—delivering a compelling ROI for the right buyer.
