$105K Landscaping Franchise w/ $34.5K Equipment

This landscaping and lawn maintenance company works a protected franchise territory in the suburban corridor between Denver and Boulder, Colorado, running weekly and bi-weekly mow, trim and blow routes alongside weed control, irrigation service, sod and artificial turf installation, xeriscape and mulch or rock work, seasonal cleanups, landscape and holiday lighting, and winter snow removal. Recurring maintenance accounts hold the schedule steady, and those same customers typically come back for five-figure install projects.

Customers are a mix of residential accounts in high-income neighborhoods and commercial clients, with additional commercial contracts secured this past season and further contract meetings booked. A field crew runs scheduled jobs Monday through Friday, an operations manager handles most onsite estimates and crew oversight, and a part-time irrigation specialist with decades of trade experience works his queue independently.

The owner currently sits on the office side - customer and employee communication, marketing, accounting and proposal follow-up - while the operations manager is on a path to general manager for a buyer who prefers to be less hands-on. Conveying in the sale are the protected territory, the truck and equipment package, materials inventory, the customer base and route schedule, the website and review profile, the leased shop, and the franchisor's training, marketing and operating systems. It fits an owner-operator with sales instincts, or a home-services company adding a Front Range territory.

Relocating out of state for family reasons

Operations run from a 700 sq ft commercial/industrial unit positioned mid-territory, with a large overhead garage door, shop space, a bathroom and a furnished office, leased at $875 per month on a term running into 2029. Included equipment carries an approximate value of $34,500 - a 2019 Ford F-250 work truck, a landscape trailer, a 30-inch walk-behind mower, trimmers, edgers and hedge trimmers, hand tools, power washers, ladders, shelving and office furniture - plus roughly $1,000 of bulk materials such as fertilizer, infill and artificial turf. A buyer steps into a fully equipped operation with low fixed overhead and no build-out required.

Seller will provide appropriate training and support as mutually agreed upon by both parties to ensure a successful transition.

Demand comes from dense, high-income suburban neighborhoods and continued new residential development along the Front Range, plus apartment complexes, HOAs and commercial properties that buy landscape maintenance on contract. Most local competition is small, unbranded lawn crews; this operation runs on a nationally recognized home-services franchise system with marketing, training and operating systems behind it, and holds a 4.9-star average review rating with a website that produces organic leads. The year-round service mix - irrigation, turf and xeriscape installs, lighting and snow removal - keeps the company in front of customers during the months mow-only competitors go quiet.

Route density is the fastest lever: the maintenance schedule already touches neighborhoods across the territory, so adding neighbors to existing stops raises revenue per hour of drive time. Commercial work scales faster than residential, and apartment complexes, HOAs and business parks in the territory buy landscape maintenance on annual contract - the current owner signed several such accounts this past season and has more meetings scheduled. Existing maintenance customers are the natural buyers for artificial turf and xeriscape conversions, irrigation upgrades, holiday lighting and seasonal snow agreements, all of which the current crew and equipment already support.
