Potential
This business is currently turning away work on a regular basis due to owner capacity, not lack of demand. A buyer willing to take on additional clients or hire a second operator could realistically grow revenue beyond $100,000 in the first year without any advertising. Good gardeners are genuinely hard to find in Rochester. The client base is loyal, word of mouth referrals are ongoing, and the 9-year phone number is known across the community. Significant upside for the right operator.
Skills
General lawn mowing and garden maintenance. Hedge and edge trimming. Garden cleanup and green waste removal. Basic pruning. Ride-on and push mower operation. Trailer towing. No formal qualifications required, full training and handover provided by current owner over 4-6 weeks.
Hours
Two person team, 4-6 hrs/day, 4-5 days/week, 20-25 hrs total labour. Solo operator can run it and have capacity to grow.
Lease
No lease, fully mobile operation run from home base. Zero overhead premises costs.
Employees
Owner operated, just my wife and myself. No employees. New owner could operate solo at current revenue level or hire one part-time assistant to service the additional work currently being declined.
Reason for Sale
We are relocating permanently to New Zealand. After 9 years building this business from scratch we are proud of what it has become and want to see it go to someone who will look after the clients and continue what we have built. This is not a distressed sale, the business is healthy and growing. We are simply moving on and want a clean, well-supported handover.
About the Business
Tyranno Service Rex – Lawn & Garden Care has been operating in Rochester and the surrounding Campaspe Shire for 9 years. Born and raised in Rochester, my wife and I started this business to create our own freedom, and it delivered. What began as taking on every job we could find slowly evolved into something we are genuinely proud of: a well-run two-person operation with easy-going clients, consistent work, and zero advertising spend.
Rochester is a tight-knit community and word of mouth is everything. Even being a local, it took time to build trust. But once it clicked, it grew on its own. We have nothing but happy customers and over the years have been able to refine the client base to people who are easy-going, understanding, and flexible. Do a good job, show up, communicate, and be polite. That is genuinely all it took.
Every client we have came through referral, our website, or our phone number the same number for 9 years, on all our materials and known across the community. That number is included in the sale.
Our clients are on flexible 2-4 week schedules. We charge by the job, which rewards efficiency, a good operator will be done early and earning well. Gardeners are hard to find in Rochester. Good ones especially. We are currently turning away work every single month, not because we don't want it, but because we have reached our personal capacity. A buyer who wants to grow has an immediate pipeline waiting.
What is included in the sale:
— Client list with schedules, contact details and property notes
— All equipment: mowers, trailer, edgers, blowers and tools
— 9-year phone number transferred to buyer
— Blocked contacts list (the filtering has been done for you)
— Business name and ABN transfer assistance
— 4-6 week handover, we introduce you to every single client
We will also consider selling our Rochester property and maybe our car as a package for the right buyer, ideal for someone wanting to relocate to regional Victoria and step into a ready made life and income from day one.
Serious enquiries only. Full financials available under NDA. Conditional contract available, sale subject to vendor property settlement.

History
Established in 2017 as a sole operator servicing residential properties in Rochester VIC. Grew organically through word of mouth, letter box drops, website, and Google Business listing. Expanded to a two-person team to meet demand. Built a loyal client base across Rochester and the Campaspe Shire. Revenue has grown steadily year on year. The business has never needed to advertise in about 6 years, we even removed signage from our trailer to reduce incoming calls, and still receives more enquiries than it can currently service.
