Don’t miss this opportunity to acquire a respected landscaping business serving homeowners across Chicago’s affluent North Shore. Established in 1972, this company combines more than five decades of local brand recognition with long-standing customer relationships and an established recurring maintenance operation. The company generated approximately $1.
37 million in revenue and $438,514 in adjusted earnings in 2025. Average normalized adjusted earnings for 2023 - 2025 were approximately $530,893. These earnings figures reflect deductions for $90,000 in annual normalized facility rent and $80,000 in combined annual replacement compensation for the husband-and-wife owners’ operating responsibilities.
An established landscaping company may capture additional efficiencies by integrating the business into its existing facilities and management structure. Recurring lawn and landscape maintenance anchors the operation, complemented by seasonal plantings, landscape installation, grading, and related property services. Growth has historically come primarily through referrals and organic search, providing a foundation for a buyer to expand through focused marketing and additional services.
Built-in relationships create a compelling design/build opportunity. The business continues to receive hardscape and landscape project inquiries, with larger projects currently subcontracted. A buyer with in-house capabilities could capture more of this work, increase revenue per customer, and deepen existing relationships.
An attractive opportunity for an owner-operator or an established landscaping company seeking North Shore expansion, recurring customers, and greater route density. Offered at $1,592,880. Sale is driven by owner retirement.
The operating property is excluded, and relocation must be completed during the winter offseason before the next operating season. Transition support and occupancy arrangements will be negotiated. Contact Lighthouse Business Brokers for additional information.
