Landscaping Business Brokerage

Landscaping Business Broker

Recurring maintenance contracts are what make a landscaping company valuable, and most owners underprice them. We broker landscaping businesses so buyers pay for durable cash flow, not just trucks and mowers.

Why Landscaping Owners Choose Peterson Acquisitions

Landscaping combines one-time installs, design build projects, and recurring maintenance, and each carries a different margin and a different value to a buyer. The businesses that command strong multiples show a heavy base of recurring commercial and residential maintenance contracts, a stable crew, and operations that do not depend on the owner running every route. We surface those strengths and position your company as a durable, financeable operation.

Recurring Revenue Positioning

We separate one-time installs from recurring maintenance and present the contract base clearly. Buyers pay more for predictable revenue.

Serious, Screened Buyers

More than 3,000 active buyers, including private equity backed platforms consolidating landscaping and grounds maintenance.

Owner-Independence Planning

If the business runs on you, it sells for less. We help you show that routes, sales, and crews continue without you.

Confidential Process

Your crew, accounts, and competitors stay uninformed until closing is near. We market privately.

What Drives the Value

Two landscaping companies with the same revenue can be worth very different amounts. These factors move the number:

  • Share of revenue from recurring maintenance contracts
  • Commercial account base and contract renewal history
  • Crew stability and depth of supervisors
  • Off-season or snow revenue that smooths cash flow
  • Equipment condition and ownership status
  • Clean, normalized financials with owner add-backs identified
  • Whether the business runs without the owner on every route

Our Brokerage Process

1. Valuation

We recast your financials, add back legitimate owner benefits, and deliver a defensible market value with the reasoning attached.

2. Packaging

We build a confidential information memorandum that positions your recurring revenue, team, and growth runway to the right buyer.

3. Marketing

We take your business to our vetted network of more than 3,000 buyers quietly, screening for financial capacity before anyone sees your name.

4. Close

We manage diligence, financing, and negotiation. Our 90% close rate exists because we solve problems before they kill deals.
