Customers
Primarily residential homeowners seeking new landscaping installations or upgrades to existing outdoor spaces. The company also serves custom homebuilders, pool installation customers, apartment complex owners, general contractors, and occasional commercial property clients. Approximately 90–95% of projects are residential.
Customer Acquisition
100% through word of mouth and referrals, with no advertising budget. The business has established referral relationships with a local pool builder who generates approximately 25–35 landscaping opportunities annually, a general contractor who typically provides one or two apartment renovation projects each year, and various homebuilders and designers.
Team
Approximately 12 full-time employees, organized into three installation crews. The company has an experienced foreman capable of supervising all three crews. Two employees have been with the business since its founding in 2008. The owner would like the existing workforce to remain employed following the sale.
Owner's Role
The owner primarily oversees two of the company's three installation crews, meets with clients, prepares bids, collects payments, manages payroll, handles customer service, and answers business inquiries. A capable foreman supervises the third crew and can potentially oversee all three.
Reason for Selling
After approximately 33 years in the landscaping industry, the owner is ready to transition into a different stage of life. The business remains active with a strong pipeline of work, and the owner hopes to find a buyer who will continue operating the company and retain its experienced employees.
Contracts
The business uses a combination of verbal agreements and written project contracts, with verbal or handshake agreements being more common.
Real Estate
No
When Are You Looking to Sell
Within the next 3-6 months
Licenses Required
Yes. California requires a C-27 Landscaping Contractor License. The owner currently holds the license and stated that it cannot simply be transferred to a buyer. He expressed willingness to potentially remain a 10% minority owner temporarily while a buyer obtains the necessary license. Any such arrangement would need to comply with California Contractors State License Board requirements.
Additional Notes
The company has approximately three months of work in its backlog, with additional projects in the pipeline. The business has minimal overhead and only one outstanding equipment loan, relating to a skid steer purchased approximately two years ago. The loan has roughly two years remaining at 0% interest. The owner is open to discussing a transitional minority ownership arrangement to support licensing continuity, subject to applicable regulations. The owner estimates annual earnings of approximately $150,000–$200,000.
